Product Management

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook and have spent many hours "on the other side of the table." I can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by hiring managers and recruiters.

My clients land interviews and offers at ~10x the market rate. Average application-to-offer rate = 17.6% vs 0.1-2% nationwide rate, while the application-to-interview rate = 32.7% vs 3% nationwide rate. As a tenured product leader with 9 years of experience at hypergrowth companies, I've owned 6 different verticals, served on 10+ hiring committees, and coached many candidates to success. I'm excited to work with you on leveraging strengths, while quickly leveling up in growth areas. My favourite areas to coach are: Career transitioners moving into PM, resume critique, and interview training. I've had several candidates tell me I'm the hardest interviewer they've ever had, so if you can impress me, you can impress the company of your dreams!

I can help with: 🔥 full PM recruiting process (strategy, resume, networking, behavior + case interviews, and offer negotiation) 💡 transitioning into PM from other backgrounds 🔑 starting a new job strong 📈 leveling up to get promoted 💰 deep dives on fintech and payments 🌎 succeeding in fully remote teams

I’ve coached over 100 MBA students into product management roles at Google, Microsoft, Adobe, and more over the past five years. I currently lead go-to-market for Jira Product Discovery at Atlassian, a product built for PMs. In scaling it, I’ve spoken with hundreds of product managers across industries and company stages. I know what it takes to break in—and what the job actually looks like once you land it.

With 15 years of product management experience—spanning leadership roles at top tech companies like Meta, Amazon, and Zoox—I’ve spent my career scaling high-impact products, leading cross-functional teams, and building high-performing organizations from the ground up. Throughout my journey, I have navigated complex career transitions, managed large product portfolios, and driven growth across diverse technology domains. As an active hiring manager and interviewer in the tech industry, I know firsthand what separates a good PM candidate from a stellar one. Whether you are aiming for a senior or principal role, polishing your product sense and execution frameworks, or preparing for high-stakes interview loops, I provide rigorous feedback and actionable playbooks to help you land your next offer.

Welcome to my profile! As a Product Manager with over 7 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in the product management field. I have successfully coached over 100 individuals, helping them land roles at top tech companies and advance their careers. My coaching covers everything from resume and cover letter optimization to mastering the product management interview process.

Hi, I'm Ankur, an Associate Product Manager at Google. Over the last year, as a recent graduate from BITS Pilani, I have navigated the product management hiring journey myself to get selected as 1 of the 2 APMs from India at Google this year. I believe I would be able to bring out the current landscape for folks trying to get into product roles right out of university, or those looking to make their first mark in this space. While product hiring for undergrads could seem challenging, starting early and focusing on the right things make the process much smoother. I believe great recruiting outcomes come from preparation, iteration, and strong decision-making. My goal is to help you focus on the right things, avoid common mistakes, and move through the process more efficiently.

Hello! I work with candidates targeting product and product-adjacent roles: founding PM, forward-deployed engineer, deployment strategist, chief of staff, and strategic projects. Clients and friends have landed at companies like Coinbase, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Google. I was founding product lead on the global enterprise platform team at Quantinuum, a $17B advanced computing scale-up (NASDAQ: QNT). I shipped 0→1 API and on-prem security products, signed a $150B conglomerate as anchor customer, protected 3M users across NAMER/EMEA/APJ, and built the pricing, packaging, ABM, and partner motions that scaled into F500 accounts (HSBC, Roche, Aramco, Honeywell, Fujitsu). Earlier I ran strategic projects from the COO office on a $300M M&A deal covered in the FT and Bloomberg, and led self-serve product plus early commercial at LeaseMagnets (YC S21). Today I build and deploy AI agents into PE-backed services businesses and have taken LLM pilots through discovery with MOD UK, Microsoft, and Amazon. I take a full-stack approach from first shortlist to signed offer: company targeting and narrative positioning, resume and LinkedIn work for non-template backgrounds, company-specific interview dossiers, story banks on a real behavioral framework (not STAR), live product-sense and case reps, and offer negotiation. Best fit for candidates without a clean FAANG-shaped resume who need their actual path made legible to a hiring manager in ninety seconds. Ideal for: AI-native startups and frontier tech; career switchers from finance, consulting, or ops into product; founders and operators moving into PM, chief of staff, or strategic projects; international and non-US applicants; deep-tech and enterprise-platform PMs; anyone with a non-linear resume that needs a clear story. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Wishing you the very best.

Based on my extensive experience at companies like Microsoft, Samsung, and various startups, I possess a unique combination of skills and expertise that makes me highly qualified to coach in the field of product management. I have gained a deep understanding of product lifecycle management, market research, and the importance of user feedback in shaping product development strategies. Furthermore, your time at Samsung has exposed you to a different facet of the industry, with a focus on mobile technology and consumer electronics. I have honed skills in product strategy, feature prioritization, and agile development methodologies, making you well-versed in the complexities of bringing products to market in a rapidly evolving landscape. All this experience helps in crafting better resumes, delivering more nuanced answers in interviews, and creating a more cohesive product management applicant.

I have 10+ years of product management experience and conducted hundreds of interviews, seeing all kinds of success and failure—yes, there are patterns you can master. Currently Staff PM at Stitch Fix, previously product lead at TikTok, Pinterest and PayPal. I have helped 20+ people later to get in Facebook and Google through peer coaching and I know the pattern really well on how to impress your interviewers and hit all the right points. It applies not only to tier 1 companies like Google, Facebook, DoorDash, Pinterest, but also can be twisted slightly and help you get the job for start-ups. It's amazing how the formula works and I would love to help more people to get their dream jobs.
