About
Hi! It's great to meet you - I'm Elena. I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, and have lived in LA, NYC, and Bay Area. I started my journey in startups and finance, and have since pivoted to tech in a career that more closely aligns with my values to create impact. Excited to work together!
Elena’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Associate Product Manager
With a strong foundation in technology management from Columbia University and a background in economics and entrepreneurship from UCLA, I bring a unique perspective to product management coaching. My experience as an international student and an Associate Product Manager Intern at Salesforce, focusing on UX, design systems, and AI agents, equips me with the insights needed to guide aspiring product managers. Additionally, my time as a Product Analyst Intern at PIMCO has honed my skills in product strategy and public credit. Let's work together to craft your path to success in breaking into product management.
Elena can help with:
Behavioral Interview Prep
General Exploration
LinkedIn Review
Product Case Interview Prep
Resume Review
Skill Building
Why do I coach?
I pivoted from finance to tech early on in my career. Mentorship is something important to me and I’ve been lucky to have so many mentors who have passed down their knowledge. I would love to pass it forward and help other students (especially other F-1 students) land APM/PM roles – especially those coming from non-technical backgrounds.
