About Amna
Hi, I’m Amna Mahmud, a Senior Product Manager at Amazon with a proven track record of driving impactful results in the tech industry. Over my career, I’ve developed a deep passion for mentorship and coaching, helping individuals achieve their goals in product management, career advancement, and higher education. Whether you’re navigating the competitive job market, transitioning roles, or preparing for an MBA application, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My Story - As someone who transitioned into product management, I understand the challenges and strategies required to excel in competitive environments. Throughout my career, I’ve honed my strategic problem-solving, stakeholder management, and cross-functional leadership skills, which are vital to thriving in tech and business. In addition to my professional achievements, I have supported numerous mentees and peers in achieving their goals, including gaining admission to top MBA programs. I draw from my experiences preparing for and succeeding in high-stakes situations to help clients craft compelling applications and stand out in interviews. What I Offer I specialize in: - FAANG Interview Preparation: Crafting standout resumes, acing behavioral and technical interviews, and building confidence. - MBA Application Coaching: Helping you tell your story through polished essays, well-structured resumes, and mock interview sessions. - Career Advancement Strategies: Building roadmaps to achieve promotions, transitions into product management, or breaking into tech. Outside of Work: I’ve lived in Seattle for the past two years with my partner and our two cats. I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships, exploring new hobbies, and engaging in activities such as board games, running, and technology. I thrive on connecting with like-minded individuals and helping others succeed, both personally and professionally.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe in the transformative power of mentorship. Throughout my career, I’ve benefited immensely from the guidance of mentors who helped me navigate career transitions, develop new skills, and build confidence. Their support taught me how impactful it is to have someone in your corner who believes in your potential and can help you see the path forward. I’ve also experienced the challenges of navigating high-pressure environments, preparing for competitive interviews, and crafting a standout story for an MBA application. These moments taught me resilience and the value of clear, actionable guidance. Coaching allows me to give back by sharing these lessons and helping others unlock their potential. For me, coaching isn’t just about achieving goals—it’s about empowering people to believe in themselves and build the confidence to take their next big step. Seeing my clients succeed is what drives me to continue coaching.
