Product Management

As a Product Manager, I have helped build the strategy and product to 4x revenue for a startup that then went public via SPAC (Talkspace), and joined as #3 building out the product function at a $1.2B-valued mental health-tech company. Most of my experience is in Consumer Product, but I've also worked in B2B Product.

Product management isn't one-size-fits-all—and neither is career growth. I'm a product leader with 10+ years of experience at Dropbox, Meta, Apple, and Upwork, where I've launched new products, scaled growth businesses, and led AI and platform initiatives that generated hundreds of millions in revenue. I help aspiring and experienced PMs: • Break into product management • Prepare for PM interviews • Navigate stakeholder and organizational challenges • Develop product strategy and execution skills • Earn promotions and grow into senior leadership roles My goal is simple: provide practical, actionable advice tailored to your specific situation so you can make faster progress in your career. Let's build a plan that gets you to your next milestone.

I know how tough breaking into product management can be. I was one of just 7 people selected out of 5,500+ applicants (0.14% acceptance rate) for Intuit’s highly competitive RPM program. Since then, I’ve built product experience across Intuit, Mastercard, and Whalesync (a YC startup with $1.92M in funding), as well as by running my own small business to $25K in revenue. I also bring a creative side, having grown Pen Masala’s community from 25K to 145K+ followers with 50M+ views, performing everywhere from the White House to the Paris Olympics. Because I’ve seen what it takes at Fortune 500s, scrappy startups, and entrepreneurial ventures, I love helping aspiring PMs not just get the offer but also build the confidence, skills, and mindset to thrive once they’re in.

Hello! I specialize in interview prep for Technical Product Management (Product Design, Product Strategy, Analytical and Estimation questions). I have 12+ years in Product Management experience at companies such as eBay, Expedia and Adobe and have worked as a Product Management coach at a nonprofit org for 6+ years, where I successfully coached candidates into PM jobs and internships at companies such as Google, Amazon, IBM and Capital One. Some more info on my background: At eBay, I was a Product Manager leading global growth and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in the eBay Classifieds Group, a global portfolio of local classifieds sites. At Expedia, I worked as a Technical Product Manager for the Post Booking Experience team, with ownership over the confirmation details pages and emails for the global portfolio of Brand Expedia sites. At Adobe, I was a Product Manager responsible for organic growth and led global SEO efforts for the Creative Cloud suite of products (Photoshop, Lightroom, XD, etc.) . In addition to my industry experience, I also perform product management duties at my startup, ConciergeBot, where we build AI voice and text-based agents for hospitality and small businesses.

Want to be a PM? Start here. When I was invited to interview for a Sr Product Manager role at Amazon, I prepared full-time for a month. Once I got to the other side of the interview + offer, I realized I could have condensed my preparation into one hour a day for a single week, and performed even better than I had. I spent two years at Amazon and was a top 10% Product Manager each year, before landing a GM role at a Series A. I'm your coach if you're a serious PM candidate. First, you and I will ensure you crush the interview. Then, if you're up for it, I'll set you up to be a top performer within the firm. I did it the hard way, let's make it easy for you.

I help aspiring and experienced PMs break into product, sharpen their story, and perform better in the interview process. I previously worked as a Product Manager at Adobe, and today I’m at Google. Earlier in my career, I worked at Deloitte Consulting, and I earned my MBA from Northwestern Kellogg. We can work together on breaking into product management, resume and LinkedIn positioning, your “why PM” story, behavioral interviews, networking, and offer strategy. I can also help if you’re transitioning into PM from another function and need to turn your existing experience into a clear, credible product story. No canned answers. No PM buzzword bingo. We’ll figure out what actually makes you compelling and build your approach around that.
