Olawale’s Product Management Qualifications

Experience level: Director of Product

10+ people coached for Product Management

Over the past decade, I’ve built and scaled products at Amazon across supply chain, logistics, workforce technology, identity, compliance, and operational platforms. My work has supported billion-dollar businesses, thousands of users and partners, and some of the most complex operational challenges in the world. I’ve led initiatives that generated over $200M in revenue impact, reduced costs by millions of dollars annually, improved compliance from 15% to 100% across a nationwide transportation network, and built workforce platforms supporting more than 6,500 drivers and 160 transportation partners. What makes my coaching different is that I don’t focus solely on interview preparation or resume writing. I help Product Managers think strategically, communicate executive-level impact, and position themselves for the next stage of their careers. Many PMs struggle to articulate the business value of their work because they describe features instead of transformation. I help clients identify the larger story behind their accomplishments, connect product decisions to business outcomes, and develop the platform thinking, stakeholder management, and leadership skills required to advance into Senior PM, Principal PM, Director, and Senior Director roles. Whether you’re trying to break into Product Management, land a role at Amazon or another large technology company, earn a promotion, strengthen your product strategy skills, or build compelling interview stories, I’ll provide practical guidance grounded in real-world experience leading large-scale products and organizations.
