Speaking
Here you can find a few talks and interviews that share some of my perspective on building products and product organizations.
What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There: Lessons in Scaling Product from Startup to Public Company
In this talk, I share lessons I’ve learned over the decade I spent at Squarespace, from bring the first PM at the company to VP Product now that it’s public.
I shared this talk at the 2022 ProductCon, NY Product Conference (by Industry), and Product Festival.
Mindset as a Catalyst for Transformation
This is a talk I presented at the 2021 Women in Product conference. I share my experience leading through organizational transformation to outcome-focused, empowered product teams, and the important role that mindset played in affecting this change.

“Having worked with Natalie for the better part of a decade, it is impressive to see how she has grown in her role. Natalie was part of our commerce initiatives from the beginning. Taking this team from just one engineer, her adaptability, ingenuity and drive have allowed her to thrive in environments both small and large.”

Interview on 100 PMs
“We spoke about Natalie's journey from business development into product and then up through the ranks of product leadership, contemplated the challenges of organizing (and re-organizing) product teams at scale, and why never losing focus of what's important (neither in our careers nor in our personal lives) is the best advice Gibralter can offer to any of us.”

Interview on Career Contessa
“Natalie Gibralter loves to help. She loves to pave the way for others to grow. She loves to watch businesses develop. She loves to identify issues and provide solutions. In other words, she loves to fix other people’s problems and she’s made an incredibly impressive career out of it as Squarespace's Director of Product.”

Interview on The Muse
“After studying philosophy, politics, and economics at Oxford, Natalie started a nonprofit in the Middle East—and she used Squarespace to help. When she returned to NYC, Natalie knew she wanted to help others feel the same sense of empowerment and credibility she experienced from a professional website—so she joined in Business Development to get small business ideas off the ground.”
