Nelson’s FP&A Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
Welcome to my profile! Ive worked on the systems side of financial planning and analysis, I have honed my skills across leading tech companies such as Cash App, DoorDash, and PayPal. As a Lead Product Manager at Cash App, I spearhead the Money Infrastructure Platform, leveraging my extensive background in finance systems and analytics. My journey began at Zynga, where I developed financial models and dashboards, and continued through roles at OpenTable and PayPal, focusing on financial transactions and product management. I am passionate about helping clients navigate the complexities of transitioning out of an FP&A role.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I remember how hard it was to break into product management. Every PM job asked for, “5+ years of PM experience” which made no sense, how are you supposed to get experience if no one will give you a shot? I eventually figured out how to tell my story in a way that made hiring managers say yes, and since then I’ve worked at PayPal, Doordash, and CashApp. Now I enjoy helping others do the same: transition into a PM role, grow in their careers, and navigate the job market.
