Jenny Chu is Head of Product at Eucalytpus. Eucalyptus is a healthcare tech company and one of Australia’s hottest startups. They have four brands: pilot for men’s telehealth, kin for women’s fertility, software for skincare and normal for sexual wellness  

Jenny studied a Bachelor of Information Systems at UNSW and was also a previous GM at Textbook Ventures. After uni she started as a product manager grad at Atlassian where she worked for over 2 years before joining Eucalyptus. I chatted with Jenny about leading product at Eucalyptus, the challenges of scaling rapidly and the differences between a startup and a large corporate. Enjoy!
