Nelson’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Group Product Manager
60+ people coached for Product Management
I’m a Product Manager with over a decade of experience leading high-impact products at companies like Doordash, and PayPal, spanning payments infrastructure, and platforms. I’ve helped PMs land roles at top tech companies by coaching them through product sense, execution, and strategy interviews, while also helping them build the storytelling and leadership presence that hiring panels remember. Whether you’re prepping for interviews or breaking into Product Management, I'm excited to help!

Skill Building
LinkedIn Review
Resume Review

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.
