Product Management

With a passion for leveraging technology to drive innovative solutions, I have led transformative product development at top-tier companies like Goldman Sachs and Nubank. As a Senior Product Manager at Nubank, I spearhead the launch of a lending product in new markets, focusing on democratizing financial access in Latin America to underserved communities. At Goldman Sachs, I directed a digital platform for financial wellness, impacting over 1.5 million users and leading a team to launch multiple products to help people address obstacles in their financial journeys. My experience spans across strategy development, roadmap planning, user research, new market expansion, revenue optimization, cross-functional team leadership, and I've successfully coached many individuals to excel in their product management careers and hiring process. For people interested in breaking into the product space, I am more than happy to help identify good product opportunities, assist with interview prep, and review resumes and cover letters. I shifted into the product space without a technical or product background, which can be helpful context for people trying to pivot into the space! For current PMs, I can help level up product skillsets and experience as you look to expand scope, seek a promotion, improve effectiveness, adjust to a new team or handle other obstacles that may be present in your product career. Let's collaborate and alleviate the stress of product recruiting and career navigating!

Whether you’re aiming to break into product or take your career to the next level, I’d love to support your growth with honest, actionable guidance tailored to where you are and where you want to go.

I bring 20+ years of experience with a robust blend of technical, strategic, and leadership expertise to my coaching practice. As a product management executive (VP), I did not take the traditional PM career path. Instead, I leveraged my diverse set of work experiences — spanning engineering, consulting, and product marketing — to showcase my unique strengths and stand out in a competitive field of more traditional PM candidates. Now, I’m here to help you do the same. I specialize in empowering senior leaders to accelerate their careers and achieve meaningful personal and professional growth.

Looking to break into Product Management or land your next PM role? I help aspiring and early-career product managers build a recruiting strategy, strengthen their personal brand, craft compelling stories, and prepare for interviews with confidence. As a Product Manager at Visa, I've coached 70+ candidates through every stage of the recruiting process, from identifying the right PM opportunities and refining resumes to networking effectively and navigating behavioral, product sense, and execution interviews. My coaching style is structured, practical, and highly personalized. I don't believe success comes from memorizing frameworks or copying someone else's path. Instead, I help candidates uncover what makes them unique, build a clear narrative around their experiences, and develop a recruiting strategy that aligns with their goals and strengths. Whether you're transitioning from consulting, engineering, operations, finance, or recruiting directly from school, my goal is to help you stand out in a competitive market and approach the PM recruiting process with clarity, confidence, and a plan.

With over a decade of experience as a Product Manager and PM Manager at Meta and Microsoft, after transitioning from software engineering, I bring firsthand experience from both sides of the interview table. I’ve interviewed 100+ candidates at Microsoft and my own Inc. 5000-listed company, and coached 100+ aspiring and current PMs through career transitions, interview preparation, and offer negotiation. I know what it takes to succeed in competitive PM interviews, and I’ve helped clients land offers at companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

Ready to level up your PM career? Let’s connect and make it happen.

I learned something firsthand: being a strong PM does not automatically make you a strong PM candidate. Building my career across big tech and startups taught me how to turn complex product work into clear, compelling stories. I also learned how to position transferable skills and adapt my narrative for different roles and industries. That experience shaped the way I coach today. After coaching more than 15+ candidates, I realized that most people do not need another generic interview framework. They need someone who can uncover why their value is not coming through in networking conversations or interviews, then show them how to improve it. That is where I come in. I help you clarify your next move, communicate your strengths, and build a professional story that feels both compelling and authentic. My coaching is candid, practical, and personalized, giving candidates the clarity and confidence to pursue the right opportunities.

Hey I’m Ollie! and I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve navigated countless applications, refined my resume dozens of times, and pushed through burnout and self-doubt while trying to break into (or level up in) Product Management. My journey started as a product manager — leading product at an edtech startup, then working on technical product initiatives at Amazon — before landing my current role at Asana, where I build GenAI products. After hundreds of interviews and the rollercoaster of rejections and breakthroughs, I developed a practical framework to help you play to your strengths, tell your story with confidence, and land the role that truly fits you. My coaching goes beyond templates. I’ll help you clarify & customize your story, amplify your advantages, and stand out authentically in the competitive world of PM. I’m passionate about helping aspiring and transitioning product managers navigate their career paths, from resume building and interview prep to mindset rebuilding and strategic positioning. Let’s connect and create a personalized plan to help you stand out and succeed in the competitive world of product management.

I’ve led PM teams across hypergrowth startups and big tech, from launching seller tools at TikTok to turning a marketplace division profitable at Bukalapak. Along the way, I found that one of the most fulfilling parts of my job wasn’t just building products, it was helping PMs and my team members level up, gain clarity, and operate with more confidence and impact. Coaching feels like a natural extension of that. I’ve been in their shoes before, navigated messy orgs and pivots, and scaled teams globally, so now I want to help others accelerate their journey without burning out or feeling stuck!
