Product Management Coaches

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!

Hey there! I’m Elana, an Associate Product Manager at Atlassian. A few years ago, I was in your shoes—trying to break into product from an unconventional background (Philosophy & CS). However, I've been able to work at tech companies of all sizes where I've learned what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to resumes, networking, and interviews. Now, I love helping people navigate the PM hiring process. I've helped students land internships and full-time roles at Microsoft, Amazon, and many other Big-Tech companies. Here’s how I can help: - Personalized Game Plan: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. I’ll work with you to create a tailored strategy based on your background, goals, and strengths—so you’re not just following generic tips, but building a plan that’s uniquely yours - Storytelling: I’ll help you uncover and articulate your authentic story, making your application stand out for the right reasons. Together, we’ll find the “why” behind your journey and translate it into a narrative that resonates with recruiters - Mock Interviews & Feedback: We’ll run through realistic behavioral and case interviews, with detailed, constructive feedback so you can improve with every session - Ongoing Support: I’m here for you beyond just a single session. Whether you need a pep talk before an interview, a quick resume review, or advice on negotiating an offer, you’ll have a coach in your corner every step of the way. Let's land that dream PM role together!
