Product Management

Hi, I’m Robert Ellis—a product leader turned coach who’s passionate about helping others unlock their potential and achieve meaningful results. Over the past 13 years at The Home Depot, I’ve led multi-million-dollar product investments, built and mentored high-performing teams, and driven innovations that delivered billions in business impact. But the part of my career I’m proudest of? Coaching people to grow in confidence, clarity, and impact. I believe great coaching starts with listening—truly understanding where you are and where you want to go. Whether you’re navigating career transitions, building leadership skills, or seeking clarity in your next big move, I bring both the strategic mindset of a product executive and the empathy of a mentor who’s been there before. My approach blends practical tools, real-world experience, and an authentic belief in your strengths to help you move forward with purpose. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and celebrate your wins along the way, I’d love to work with you. Together, we’ll turn your goals into results—and your potential into impact.

Welcome to my profile! With 7+ years of operational experience in product, design, engineering, and operations, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the field of product management. I also didn't come out of the gate working in product but chipped my way at working as a SW PM there from a non-traditional background. As a Senior Product Manager at January AI, I played a key role in building the in-app mobile user experience using biometric data to help consumers visualize daily health insights and modify their behavioral patterns. Additionally, I served as a Product Manager at Brilliant, where I focused on expanding Brilliant's portfolio into new smart home products. My expertise includes product launch, go-to-market strategy, and more. If you're looking to break into the world of product management or enhance your skills in this field, I'm here to help. Let's connect and discuss how I can support you in reaching your goals!

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led product strategy and product management across enterprise technology, following earlier roles in software engineering and enterprise consulting. My career has been centered on one question: how do you identify meaningful customer problems and build products that create measurable business value? Today, I’m applying those same principles as the founder of an AI startup, where I spend my time talking to customers, validating ideas, building products, and refining go-to-market strategy. I work best with product managers, aspiring product leaders, and founders who want to think beyond frameworks and roadmaps. Whether you’re navigating a career transition into product, validating a new product idea, developing AI-enabled products, or learning how to balance customer needs with business strategy and technical constraints, I’ll help you approach the problem with first-principles thinking and practical experience. My coaching is grounded in real product decisions made across large enterprises and an early-stage startup, not just interview preparation or textbook product management.

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.

Hi I’m Ben, a former Amazon product manager who has helped 50+ candidates prepare for product management roles through resume reviews, mock interviews, and application strategy. At Amazon, I worked across four teams and was promoted three times in six years. Those experiences shaped how I think about product leadership, interview storytelling, and what it takes to stand out in competitive PM hiring processes. I now use that background to help candidates translate their experience into clear, compelling PM narratives. I’ve coached people at every stage of the process, from exploring whether PM is the right path to preparing for final-round interviews. My goal is to make the PM recruiting process feel less intimidating and more accessible, while giving you practical, personalized guidance on how to sharpen your resume, improve your interview performance, and build a strategy that fits your goals.

I'm the guy on the other side of your PM interview. I've screened thousands of resumes and interviewed hundreds of candidates at WhatsApp and as a VP of Product & Design at an edtech startup. I know why most people get passed on in case study, product sense, and execution-focused interviews. Let's fix that.

Group Product Manager with 5 years of experience across AI, Payments, and Growth products. Led teams of 5 to 40 and promoted from APM to Group PM in 4.5 years.
