YES we are! Good product managers wear many hats. They (we 😛 ) hunt for ideas, build strategies, keep an eye on the market & competition, while at the same time act as maestros in coordinating the orchestra of developers, marketeers, support and sales in order to build, launch and scale a product successfully.
