After hiring PMs into Amazon across Europe for 3 years, I then moved into a Head of Careers role at Oxford University's Said Business School specifically help people go the other way, and pivot their career into Product Management. This included introducing and building a Product Management specific career track at Oxford, utilising PM experience from the amazing alumni community and delivering learning experiences for a very diverse MBA cohort. Across a number of European institutions, I have now helped over 100 students pivot into PM roles in Tech, Healthcare, Retail, Finance and many other sectors, focusing on the practical elements of CV writing, networking, and non-technical interview preparation.

I am a senior product manager with over 10 years of experience at leading tech companies including Microsoft, Google, and Tencent. I transitioned from a non-PM role in software engineering into product management, so I understand firsthand the challenges and rewards of making a career pivot. I’m also an entrepreneur who has built multiple innovative AI applications, contributing to pioneering projects at Copilot Agents and Google Brain. My diverse background spans the gaming industry as well, where I’ve worked on Google Play, live streaming platforms, and indie game development. Additionally, as an ICF-certified life coach with an ACC credential, I’ve successfully guided over 30 clients through transformative career transitions and personal growth. Whether you’re aiming to break into product management or seeking a breakthrough in your career or personal life, I’m here to support and empower your journey.

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.

With over a decade of experience leading product development and interviewing PM candidates at top tech companies like Google, Meta, and Zendesk, I bring a wealth of knowledge in AI, machine learning, and cross-functional team leadership. As a Staff PM at Weights & Biases, I continue to drive innovation and strategic growth. My coaching is tailored to help aspiring product managers navigate the complexities of the field, drawing from my experience in leading high-impact projects and mentoring early career PMs. Whether you're looking to refine your product skills or break into a top tech company, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's accelerate your PM growth together!

With almost two decades of experience in product management and leadership roles at top companies like Comcast, Uber, and American Express, I specialize in guiding early- and mid-career professionals to excel in their careers. As an Executive Director of Product Management at Comcast, I have successfully launched new products, managed multi-million dollar businesses, and built high-performing teams. I have done every aspect of product from strategy through GTM, from working with developers to branding. My coaching focuses on helping you become a product expert and to lead effective product teams. This will help you prepare for promotions, develop strategic thinking, and enhance your executive presence. Whether you're navigating your first leadership role or aiming to scale your impact, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and take your product management to the next level!

I bring experience across technology consulting, product strategy, and large-scale digital transformation, and I’m currently at Deloitte driving enterprise technology and customer strategy initiatives. I’ve led cross-functional teams on multi-million-dollar programs, including large Salesforce transformations for global financial institutions, helping organizations modernize platforms, redesign operating models, and deliver measurable business impact. My focus is on aligning executive vision with practical execution, translating ambiguity into structured strategy and results. I hold a dual MBA and MS in Design Innovation from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and McCormick School of Engineering. Through that experience, I worked on product, growth, and strategy initiatives spanning loyalty innovation, fintech, climate investing, healthcare, and AI-enabled startups, strengthening my ability to connect customer insight, financial rigor, and scalable business design. My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution, grounded in clarity, empathy, and disciplined problem-solving. Beyond client work, I’ve trained and mentored thousands of students and professionals, from leading Salesforce academies to coaching MBA and consulting candidates through competitive transitions. I understand what it takes to stand out in high-bar environments because I’ve navigated them myself. Whether you’re breaking into consulting, pivoting into product, or aiming for a top MBA program, I can help you build a credible story and a concrete plan to get there.

With over two decades of experience in product management, I've held leadership roles at top companies like Meta, Google, and eBay, where I honed my skills in driving innovation and scaling teams. As a former Director of Product Management at Meta and VP of Product Management at Onfido, Schibsted, and Groupon, and with 10 years as a hands-on PM before that in world-class companies, I have a proven track record of leading teams to success and launching award-winning products. My coaching is informed by real-world experience, having mentored dozens of individuals to excel in their product management careers. Whether you're looking to break into the field or advance to a leadership role, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

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!

I’ve spent nearly two decades building consumer products — from early social media to e-commerce and now large-scale streaming platforms — and today I’m a VP of Product responsible for both product strategy and the people behind it. Over the years, I’ve hired, mentored, and developed product managers at every stage: people trying to get their first PM role, experienced PMs trying to get promoted, and strong operators struggling to grow into leadership. What I’ve learned is that most candidates don’t fail because they lack intelligence or work ethic — they fail because no one has ever clearly explained how hiring managers actually evaluate product talent. I’ve sat on the other side of the table hundreds of times. I know what makes a candidate stand out, what quietly disqualifies someone, and how interviewers interpret your answers even when they don’t say it out loud. My coaching is practical and honest. I won’t teach you how to “perform” like a product manager — I’ll help you think like one. We’ll work on how to structure your stories, how to communicate judgment, how to handle ambiguous questions, and how to show leadership even if you don’t yet have the title. I’m also very aware that job searches can feel stressful and isolating. I try to make sessions collaborative and supportive, not evaluative. You can ask anything — including the questions you feel embarrassed to ask elsewhere. My goal is simple: help you walk into interviews calm, clear, and confident, and help you understand why things are happening during the process so it stops feeling random. Whether you’re trying to break into product, transition from another role, or level up into senior PM or leadership, I’ll meet you where you are and help you create a plan that actually works in today’s hiring market.
