Elizabeth has helped clients get into these companies:
Welcome to my profile! I’m a Senior Product Manager with experience at PayPal and Microsoft, and an empathetic, results-driven coach. I’ve coached 30+ individuals through product management interviews, helping them think critically, structure their stories, and navigate ambiguity with confidence, many of whom have gone on to land roles in Big Tech and beyond. My background spans multiple business functions within tech, giving me a holistic understanding of how product teams operate and how hiring decisions are actually made. I specialize in identifying patterns quickly, getting to root causes, and helping candidates translate complex experiences into clear, compelling narratives for behavioral and product case interviews. My coaching style is collaborative, intentional, and transformational. I’ll bring structure, constructive feedback, and practical tools, but I also expect you to engage, reflect, and do the work. This is a partnership: I’m here to help you sharpen your thinking, build confidence, and develop the mindset of a strong product manager, not just memorize frameworks. Whether you’re breaking into product management or aiming to level up, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, purpose, and momentum.
