Apurva’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Chief Product Officer
10+ people coached for Product Management
I'm a technology executive with 17 years of product leadership experience, currently serving as SVP/CPO at Invisible, where I've scaled AI training and evaluation infrastructure for frontier labs including OpenAI and Google DeepMind, and built enterprise AI platforms now at $140M+ ARR. Before that, I led product at Upwork ($500M+ marketplace), Chegg ($300M → $600M+ subscription business), Amazon, and Microsoft — owning $300M+ P&Ls and building and scaling global product organizations at each stage. I coach senior PMs, Directors, and VPs who are navigating the step up to CPO or a first executive product role — the shift in scope, stakeholder management, board-level communication, org design, and how to lead product strategy when the answers aren't obvious. I've built product orgs from scratch, been a peer to CEOs and boards, contributed to $100M+ financing rounds, and stepped into an interim Head of Engineering role when the business needed it. I coach from that lived experience, not a framework.

About Apurva
I'm the operator-plus-coach founders and product leaders call when they need results yesterday. Over 17 years, I've led $300M+ P&Ls and shipped category-defining products at Amazon, Microsoft, Upwork, and most recently as CPO of AI-native scale-up Invisible Technologies. My signature playbook blends ruthless customer focus, AI-first experimentation, and clear “one-slide” storytelling that moves boards and frontline teams alike. Expect high-velocity sessions, sharp frameworks, and radically candid feedback that turns vision into traction—whether you’re a Series A rocket ship or a Fortune 500 juggernaut ready to reinvent.
Why do I coach?
I coach because generous mentors opened doors for me, and I want to do the same for others. Across roles that helped me shape billion-dollar companies, I’ve seen that everyone carries a quiet super-power—often hidden under deadlines, doubt, or politics. My joy comes from helping people surface that spark, shape it, and let it light up their teams. Hard work and merit matter, yet they rarely move mountains on their own. The real breakthroughs come when skill meets encouragement, feedback, and a safe space to experiment. That’s the environment my coaches created for me, and it’s the atmosphere I now strive to offer every leader I work with. AI will keep transforming how we work, but the heart of every great company is still human—people who can imagine, decide, and inspire. Coaching is my way of nurturing that human edge, so leaders can pair technology’s speed with the empathy and clarity only they can bring.
