About Jeff
I'm a product leader and a builder of careers. With over 25 years in the tech industry, my journey has taken me from engineer to Principal Technical Product Manager at Amazon, where I spent 9 years leading complex AI and Generative AI initiatives. But the common thread throughout my career—whether leading product strategy or on a mountain—has been a passion for coaching. I've been a certified snowboard instructor for 30 years and currently coach a high school tennis team. I thrive on helping people unlock their potential. This passion for mentorship is the foundation of my coaching practice, where I help you design a career with intention and build the skills to excel at the highest levels.
Why do I coach?
At Amazon, I interviewed over 150 candidates. I often saw brilliant people with incredible potential get rejected because they couldn't effectively articulate their value. That experience revealed a critical gap: success isn't just about having the right skills; it's about knowing how to tell a compelling story for your career. I coach to close that gap. My mission is to help talented professionals build fulfilling, long-term careers in product. While interview preparation is a crucial part of that, my focus is on the bigger picture: helping you transition into product from other fields, guiding you through the challenges of your first 90 days, and developing the leadership skills needed to get promoted. Ultimately, I coach because I believe the right people deserve the chance to do impactful work, and sometimes you just need a guide who has already walked the path.
