Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I know how daunting it can feel to break into product management or to level up once you're in it because I've been on both sides of that table. As a Seasoned Product Manager at Venmo and Amazon, I've launched many innovative products and led AI personalization initiatives reaching millions of users. Before that, as a Strategy Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, I sharpened my ability to build strategies and craft product visions that actually move the needle. I hold an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Over the years, I've coached 100's of aspiring technical and non-technical product managers, helping them navigate the complexities of the field and land the roles they've been working toward. If you're looking to break into product management or take your career to the next level, let's connect and build a plan tailored to you.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to break into Product Management when you’re early in your career, don’t have a traditional PM background, or are trying to navigate U.S. recruiting as an international student or immigrant. I’ve successfully navigated competitive PM recruiting myself and landed Product Management internships at both Google and Microsoft, with experience across consumer AI, AI infrastructure, and early-stage AI products. I especially enjoy helping students and early-career candidates land their **first PM internship or full-time PM role**. Whether you’re trying to figure out how to get experience when every job seems to require experience, position your projects and internships for PM roles, break into Big Tech, or simply understand what recruiters and hiring managers are actually looking for, I can help you build a strategy from where you are today. I also understand that breaking into tech as an immigrant can come with an additional learning curve. Beyond interviewing itself, there are often unwritten rules around networking, communicating your impact, advocating for yourself, building relationships, and telling your story in a way that resonates with U.S. recruiters and interviewers. I can help you navigate those cultural nuances without losing what makes your background unique. My coaching can cover everything from career strategy, internship search and networking to resume positioning, behavioral storytelling, product sense, execution, metrics, and AI PM interviews. I won’t just give you frameworks to memorize. We’ll identify what is actually holding you back, build a practical recruiting strategy, and help you become the kind of candidate who can confidently compete for PM opportunities in Big Tech.

I've spent my career in product management, most recently at Hinge, where I was a Chief of Staff and now lead our growth products team. Along the way I've worked across some unconventional corners of PM: building new products at startups in the edtech and health tech spaces, leading large-scale consumer-facing products at bigger companies, and working on both internal digital transformation and external, customer-facing products. I built and launched Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs, where I stayed on afterward as an advisor on product strategy, and most recently partnered with MBA students on an experiential learning program, coaching them on product management best practices. I came into product management from a non-technical background, which means I've had to build my technical fluency the hard way -- and I think that makes me a better coach for anyone worried they're "not technical enough" to break into PM. Most of my experience is in 0-to-1 work: taking a rough idea through product discovery and turning it into something real, often with more ambiguity than resources. I've also spent a lot of time on the people side of the job -- managing and mentoring teams of PMs day-to-day, and coaching several colleagues (both inside and outside my company) into their first PM roles. If you're trying to break into product, level up in your current role, or navigate a 0-to-1 problem with an unclear path forward, that's where I can help most

I help product managers, founders, and teams take products from ideation to market — efficiently, without wasted builds or guesswork. Over my career I've shipped more than 30 products, across 15 years of medical device product leadership at Medtronic and 7 years as a CPG founder building ELIMS Oral Care, scrappy and bootstrapped from day one. I was lead product manager for the MiniMed 670G, the world's first closed-loop insulin delivery system, named to Time Magazine's 25 Best Inventions list in 2016, and I hold 5 U.S. patents, all in advanced medical technology. I hold a double major in Materials Science Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, plus an MBA from UCLA. That same rigor around ideation, development, and launch is what I brought to building ELIMS, where I've combined biotechnology and sustainability to revolutionize oral care, earning recognition from Forbes and Healthline. I'm also a guest lecturer on product development and product management at UCLA's Venture Accelerator, and I've worked as an independent consultant to companies across medical devices and healthcare AI. I'm the right coach for founders and product managers who need help scoping a roadmap, validating an idea before overbuilding, or getting to product-market fit the cheapest and most time-efficient way possible. I bring an end-to-end view, from ideation through launch, and I love mentoring aspiring product managers and entrepreneurs figuring out how to turn an idea into something real. I've been building things, literally and figuratively, since I was a kid working the counter of my parents' shop — and that same hands-on instinct for what actually works still drives how I coach today. If you're wrestling with a product roadmap, trying to get from concept to launch without burning through your runway, or just want a sounding board who's actually shipped 30+ products, let's talk.

Hi there, I’m currently a Senior Product Manager at Google, having previously worked as a Principal Product Manager at Meta and a Senior Product Manager–Technical at Amazon. I successfully navigated the PM interview processes at all three companies with less than a month of focused preparation, giving me firsthand insight into what they evaluate, how their interview formats differ, and what genuinely helps candidates succeed. I also stay current on their latest interview formats and expectations. As a coach, I help candidates strengthen their structured thinking, product judgment, communication, and confidence under pressure. I also show them how to use AI effectively, to practice realistic questions, stress-test answers, uncover blind spots, and accelerate feedback, while ensuring their responses remain authentic and distinctly their own.
