Justine Nugent is an accomplished Senior Product Manager based in Denver, Colorado, with a proven track record in leading product growth and enhancing consumer experiences. Currently, she spearheads the consumer product experience at Homebot, an AI-powered B2B2C fintech platform serving over 10 million users. Justine’s expertise lies in driving both greenfield and growth-stage product strategy, translating strategic vision into actionable roadmaps, and ensuring consumer needs are met with timely, innovative solutions.
In her role at Homebot, Justine has cultivated a transformative business impact, expanding Homebot’s market position from a homeowner-focused product to a lead nurturing platform spanning the full real estate lifecycle. She achieved this by launching a new search product line, “Galleries,” which overhauled the consumer home search experience on Homebot. The overhaul of search and launch of Galleries in 2024 resulted in step function increases in user adoption and engagement, despite strong real estate industry headwinds. Justine also spearheaded the launch of Homebot’s consumer mobile app and led several strategic UX initiatives that doubled outreach from consumers to Homebot’s business customers.
Before joining Homebot, Justine held key positions, including Senior Product Manager for Worker Onboarding at Snagajob (recently acquired by JobGet) and Product Manager for AI Promotion Optimization at Eversight, a B2B SaaS startup (acquired by Instacart). She also served as Lead Product Manager for DevAngels Limited (a premier Flutter app development agency), where she directed product management and general operations for the agency’s entire portfolio. These product leadership roles have taught her how to direct growth and scale to the next phase of the company’s lifecycle.
Beyond her workplace achievements, Justine is deeply committed to mentoring and giving back to the tech community. She has been a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador since 2018, where she actively supports women in technology. Justine also served as a mentor for the INSEAD Product Games in 2023. She is a sought-after speaker and has shared her insights on AI product management, cultivating long-term product growth, and workplace mindfulness at various industry events.
Justine holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, where she graduated cum laude. She is also an Interlochen Arts Academy alumna.
