Growth PM: They Said My Accent Would Hold Me Back — I Got Promoted Anyway (Diego von Söhsten)
In this episode, Diego von Söhsten, immigrant operator, product leader, and Director of Product Growth at Jobber, opens up about the “after you’ve already proven yourself” flavor of imposter syndrome. He recounts a moment when a senior executive publicly tore down his work (and blamed his accent), and how he rebuilt confidence, created alignment without air cover, and ultimately earned a promotion while shipping a freemium foundation that mattered when COVID hit.
Diego talks about learning to over-communicate up and across, turning anti-role-models into fuel for the leader he wanted to become, and building a growth org that prized clarity, storytelling, and psychological safety. He also shares practical ways underrepresented builders can find mentors, ask for help without shame, and protect their inner game when the ground keeps moving.
