Our 20th episode dives into policy, as our guest is Jaarika Järviste, Head of Development at the Estonian Health Insurance Fund. In addition, Jaarika shares her experience of working in a hospital and the deeply rooted hierarchy in healthcare as compared to other fields. Jaarika and Priit also talk about what is the government’s role to incentivize the emergence of publicly procured and privately owned digital solutions. The episode is wrapped up with a discussion about the importance of a product manager’s skillset and how to acquire it.
