One thing I love about the product management role is that it exposes you to a much broader range of skills to learn (beyond product features and people management), including design, user behavior, as well as business aspects including go to market, sales strategy, pricing, etc. Just like a developer lead becomes the de-facto CTO for a product/start-up/business unit, the product manager becomes the de-facto CEO for the same.
