Summary
Shixin Cao is a Junior Product Manager with a decade of cross-cultural experience spanning product at Meituan-Dianping, audit compliance at Pfizer, and journalism across major Shanghai media outlets. She combines a graduate education in Emerging Media Studies from Boston University with hands-on newsroom skills—having reported 600+ stories and grown a WeChat audience by 10K in four months—to shape audience-focused product decisions. At Meituan she applies this blend of editorial intuition and data-informed thinking to prioritize features for large consumer platforms. Comfortable navigating both corporate audit processes and fast-paced media production, she excels at translating user needs into measurable product outcomes. Fluent in English and Mandarin and rooted in Greater Boston, she brings an international perspective and a storyteller’s sensibility to product strategy. Her personal motto, hinted at in her GitHub bio, reflects a balanced curiosity: half drawn to craft, half to people.
