In celebration of Mother’s Day 2021, the Women in Tech organization at JW Player hosted a series of interviews with five working moms across leading media and technology companies. In these interviews, we discussed navigating motherhood and the workplace in 2021 – the ways in which it has been challenging, rewarding, and empowering. Each interviewee also talked about the advice that they’d give to new and future working mothers.
Allison Stone is a leader in product management with over a decade of experience managing roadmaps and teams of product managers and designers. Her career focus has been building world-class SaaS for B2B audiences.
As Senior Director of Product at Sailthru, Allison and her current team are responsible for day-to-day management and strategic planning for multi-million dollar products and features within the CM Group portfolio.
At home Allison balances parenting duties of a 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy with her husband, a finance executive in media.
In her interview, Allison speaks about working from home full-time while coordinating virtual (hybrid) learning for the big kid and pre-school drop-off / pick-up for the little kid, with no stable childcare since the pandemic started. She also talks about forming local support through her neighborhood, the power of compartmentalization, and the importance of making time for yourself.
