Shivangi Tandon

Intro

I'm a passionate techie, a creative problem solver, and a techno-management enthusiast. I hold a Master's in Engineering Management(MEM) from Dartmouth College, with a specialization in Product Management, and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering. I am passionate about technology and its impact on daily life, and in a constant search to find the 'right' problem to solve.

After working as a software engineer for 2 years, I realized my budding interest in product leadership. That is when I decided to pursue further education in the management domain, and was fortunate enough to get selected in one of the most prestigious MEM programs in the world at Dartmouth College. Since then, I utilized several opportunities to sharpen my skills as a product manager, through self-led projects, group projects, co-founding a new venture, and internships.

Now, as a Technical Product Manager at LiveRamp, I'm leading the implementation of a Data Catalog and Governance platform, enabling secure, efficient and scalabale data collaboration for all of LiveRamp's SaaS products.

On the personal front, I love outdoor activities - hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and more! I'm also an avid music lover and like to try out new music instruments from time to time.
