Transform Your Business with Strategic API Management
summary
Argues that companies should grow your own API product manager rather than hire externally, backed by over 50,000 consulting hours and recruiter evidence that firms ask for 10+ years of solution architecture experience. Recommends concrete actions: cast a wider talent net, scaffold delivery skills, run blended bootcamps, and pair with practical on-the-job projects (example: building an asset-finance API product for aerospace leasing). Warns of pitfalls—API sprawl, bad metrics—and cites Gartner and McKinsey surveys showing missing API skills as a top barrier.
