Win’s AI for Product Development Qualifications

Experience level: Manager

AI Certified

Completed Level 1 of Leland’s AI Builder Program

Win has helped clients get into these companies:

Building an AI product is two different hard problems: knowing what to build and actually shipping it. I've done both. As an AI Product Strategist at LinkedIn I took a GenAI recommendation product from zero to launch for 25 million users, leading a five person pod through opportunity discovery, PRD, UX design, and sprint execution. I co-defined the roadmap for two agentic AI tools with a $50M+ revenue target and got executive buy-in to build them. I know how AI products get scoped, funded, and shipped inside a real company, including the parts that kill most of them: fuzzy success metrics, demos that don't survive real users, and roadmaps built on model capabilities that don't exist yet. I also ship solo. My AI meal planning app reached 4,000+ organic users with 20% premium conversion, I cut its image generation costs by 92% with a custom model, and I build autonomous agents that run multi-step workflows end to end. So whether you're a PM trying to ship your first AI feature, a founder building an AI product, or a builder prototyping with Cursor and Claude Code, I've stood exactly where you are. We'll work on your actual product: sharpen the problem, scope the MVP, pressure test the AI approach, and get it in front of users. You leave with a product plan that survives contact with reality, and usually a working prototype too.

About Win

As a Product Strategist at LinkedIn, I've supported transformative initiatives that leverage data-driven strategies and robust stakeholder collaboration to significantly boost revenue, product performance, and user engagement. Prior to that, I spent 3 years utilizing my data expertise and financial acumen to invest a $15 billion endowment into various private equity sectors. Over the past six years, I've channeled my expertise from these experiences into coaching professionals of all types — from early-career planning to technical interviewing—helping them achieve their top career goals. My clients have landed roles at top organizations such as McKinsey & Co., LinkedIn, DoorDash, and Google. Let's chat!

Why do I coach?

I coach because it's a way to give back. I was a first generation college student coming from a family of small business owners, and therefore had no connections or help when it came to embarking on my career journey. I understand how difficult career progression can be when you don't have access to these resources, so I want to be able to share my own expertise with others to ease that burden.
