Dessy has helped clients get into these companies:
I’ve led PM teams across hypergrowth startups and big tech, from launching seller tools at TikTok to turning a marketplace division profitable at Bukalapak. Along the way, I found that one of the most fulfilling parts of my job wasn’t just building products, it was helping PMs and my team members level up, gain clarity, and operate with more confidence and impact. Coaching feels like a natural extension of that. I’ve been in their shoes before, navigated messy orgs and pivots, and scaled teams globally, so now I want to help others accelerate their journey without burning out or feeling stuck!
