About Elena
Hi! It's great to meet you - I'm Elena. I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, and have lived in LA, NYC, and Bay Area. I started my journey in startups and finance, and have since pivoted to tech in a career that more closely aligns with my values to create impact. Excited to work together!
Why do I coach?
Mentorship is something important to me and I’ve been lucky to have so many mentors who have passed down their knowledge. I would love to pass it forward and help other students (especially other F-1 students) land APM/PM roles – especially those coming from non-technical backgrounds.
