Lou Apolonia

I’ve spent 20+ years in tech and product leadership across Amazon, American Express, startups, and consulting. I started as an engineer, moved into product, and have reinvented my path multiple times, including a recent pivot toward AI. Along the way I’ve made good moves, bad moves, and a lot of course corrections, and I’ve sat on the other side of the table as a hiring manager and senior leader. I coach both early-career and mid-career professionals. If you’re just starting out, I can help you choose roles, build skills, and make decisions that open doors later instead of closing them. If you’re mid-career, we’ll clarify what you actually want next, tune your story and materials, and build a focused plan to move toward roles in product, tech, or AI that fit your life and goals.
