Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

Hi, I’m a product leader, hiring manager, and ICF-trained coach passionate about helping experienced PMs and product owners unlock their full potential and maximize impact. While I enjoy meeting clients from all backgrounds, folks who typically reach out to me are: • Product owners who wear multiple hats in a start-up environment and/or are challenged by complex PMF problems • Experienced PMs who have led impactful product initiatives but struggled to showcase their best selves in job search • Mid-career PMs who are looking for opportunities to level up to staff/principal PMs, or cross the chasm to people manager roles Why I’m Qualified to Coach: 🔮 Hiring Manager and Promo Committee Experience: I’ve interviewed 500+ candidates and designed PM hiring processes for both public companies and startups, offering you insider knowledge of what hiring managers look for. I've also sat on the promo committee, know how the promo conversation goes behind the scenes, and helped multiple PMs get the career advancement that they deserve. 📈 Proven Product Leadership: I’ve launched multiple 0-to-1 products at Coursera. Before Coursera, I led Product & Design at VC-backed AI SaaS startups with a successful exit. In my peer's words, "She rose through the ranks from Senior PM to GPM, leading some of the company’s biggest and most strategic projects. On top of that, she mentored multiple PMs who went on to become fast risers themselves". 💙 Diverse Career Background: I was Head of Product at startups, management consultant, angel investor, and non-profit executive. This gives me a holistic perspective on how to navigate career decisions based on one's values vs FOMO. 🙌 Actionable Coaching Approach: As an ICF-trained coach with 100+ coaching hours, I focus on deeply listening, asking thoughtful questions, and providing structured, action-oriented guidance. My coaching combines empathy, structure, and practical tools to deliver results-driven support. Whether you’re preparing for your next leadership role or solving complex product challenges in a corporate or startup setting, I’m here to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and align your career with your values. *NOTE: Due to capacity constraints, I’m unable to support aspiring PMs without professional experience at this time. However, I’d be happy to refer you to other amazing coaches on Leland!

I am a Product Management leader with nearly a decade of experience scaling digital platforms, building ad tech infrastructure, and driving product strategy across high-growth startups and tech giants like Yelp, Twitter, and Chartboost. My path into tech started in Civil Engineering, building physical infrastructure, before I successfully made the jump into product leadership. I know firsthand what it takes to identify transferable skills, reframe non-traditional experience into high-value product narratives, and pass competitive hiring bars. As a hiring manager across multiple tech companies, I’ve evaluated hundreds of candidates, led cross-functional teams of PMs and engineers, and managed products that drive hundreds of millions in revenue. I specialize in helping candidates pivot into tech, break into Product Management, master case and behavioral interviews, and position themselves for long-term career growth. Whether you are translating past experience into product language or prepping for high-stakes interviews, I offer clear, actionable strategies to help you land the role.

I didn't start my career in product. I came through consulting, and had to figure out how to translate what I'd done into a language that PM hiring teams understood. That transition is harder than it looks, and most advice out there is written for people who already have product experience. I coach people who don't. After consulting, I landed a PM role at Meta before moving to Nubank, where I'm now a Staff Product Manager leading international growth across Latin America. I've been promoted to Staff in under two years, I've hired PMs, and I've reviewed PM portfolios — which means I know exactly what interviewers are looking for and where most career-switchers fall short. I help clients reframe their existing experience into a compelling PM narrative, build the skills that close the gap, and land roles without having to start from the bottom.

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.

I coach product managers who want senior roles, not just a first offer: the Senior PM, Principal, or Group PM step, and the interview loops that decide it. I was a Senior Manager of Product at Amazon (sponsored ads bulk operations and APIs) and, before that, an analytics leader who built the first scaled global insights product in my org. I have sat on both sides of the Amazon Leadership Principles loop and know exactly how senior PM candidates are evaluated. I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC, CPCC), so the work covers both the strategy (a story bank with measurable impact, product sense and execution cases, roadmap storytelling, stakeholder influence) and the mindset that undermines strong candidates under pressure. Clients have landed PM roles at Amazon, Microsoft, and Spotify. Leland AI Builder Level 4 certified: I also show PMs how to build AI systems that run their prep and their job. Rated 5.0 across 36 reviews.

With a rich background in both entrepreneurship and product management, I am here to help you navigate your career path in product management. As a Co-founder & CEO of Torpedo Now and a former Product Manager at Jet Commerce, I have firsthand experience in leading product teams and driving innovation.

I’m a consultant-turned-product manager with over 10 years of experience in product and strategy across Europe, China, and the US. My path to PM wasn’t linear — as an immigrant and international student from a non-tech background, I had to carve my own way in. Now I help others do the same. Whether you’re pivoting into product or aiming for your next big role, I’ll share the frameworks, insights, and honest feedback that helped me succeed — so you can land your dream PM job with confidence.

Hi and welcome to my profile! With 3 years of experience as a Product Manager at Bloomberg and other firms, I specialize in guiding aspiring product managers to success. I’m fortunate to have been able to build an incredibly successful early career in product; I’ve launched multiple products from idea to production, aligned with teams across businesses, and built a very strong reputation among PMs, stakeholders, and senior leaders. Currently, I am coaching three individuals, helping them go from beginners to top candidates by refining their product, soft skills, interviewing, networking, and so much more. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan to achieve your career goals in product management!

Breaking into product management without a traditional tech background is tough. After eight years as a U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot, I went to MIT Sloan knowing I wanted to pivot into PM but having no connections in tech and no clear path to get there. I spent months learning frameworks, building side projects, and figuring out how to translate military leadership into language that resonated with tech hiring managers. I applied to well over 100 roles and collected plenty of rejections along the way before eventually landing a Product Manager role at Microsoft. That experience gave me a very practical understanding of what it actually takes to break in. I know which parts of a non-traditional background hiring managers care about and which ones they don't. I know how to reframe military, consulting, or other non-tech experience into a compelling PM narrative. And I know how to stay focused when the process feels like it's going nowhere. I work with career changers, veterans, and other non-traditional candidates on the full PM job search: resume positioning, networking strategy, building PM-relevant work, product sense and execution interview prep, and offer negotiation. If you're trying to break into PM and feel like your background doesn't check the usual boxes, I can help you figure out how to make it work.
