I'm IBM Watson Product Manager Anamita Guha, and This Is How I Work
As a product manager at IBM, Anamita Guha works on bots, AR/VR technology, and AI—including Watson, the most famous AI that doesn’t come packaged on a phone. She also leads analytics for TEDxSanFrancisco and serve as a technical consultant to a clinical research lab at UCSF. We talked to her about her work habits, as general as deepening relationships and as specific as color-coding notebooks.
Decoding the brain: aiding developers with Watson
Anamita Guha grew up surrounded by coders and IPOs in the way other kids’ childhoods were filled with trips to the mall or little league. Growing up in San Francisco, where both her parents helped build the Valley we know today, Anamita developed, almost intrinsically, an understanding of the power technology has to connect people and change the world.
And by an early age –we’re talking four years old –Anamita was up and running on her own computer. At nine, she started designing websites as a side-hustle. Out of this early digital relationship and the exposure she received to a diversity of people and ideas in Silicon Valley, Anamita became increasingly intrigued by people –and how they process information, become motivated by their beliefs and ultimately make decisions.
