Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I’ve built my career at the intersection of engineering, product, and manufacturing, leading hardware and software programs at Tesla, Rivian, and Plenty. Across these roles, I’ve launched products from concept to scale, navigating technical complexity, cross-functional alignment, and rapid iteration. I combine deep product execution experience with a systems mindset — helping teams build products that are scalable and impactful.

Coached PM candidates of all levels, including Senior Directors/VPs, focusing on interview prep

James is a former L6 Senior Product Manager (AI/ML) with Amazon. His unique value add is that he successfully pivoted from Pre-sales -> Management Consulting -> Product Management.

He's interviewed 75+ PM candidates while with Amazon (bar raiser), been the hiring manager for 3 positions, 1:1 mentored 10+ PM's, and has coached over 100+ people. He finds joy in helping others crack their PM/consulting interviews and has had 5+ mentees land offers at FAANG companies in the last few months.

I spent four years as a Product Manager at Microsoft, where I not only grew within the company but also successfully switched roles internally—receiving two separate internal offers along the way. That experience taught me firsthand how to navigate large tech organizations, how to tell your story in a way that resonates, and how to position yourself for growth once you’re in the door. Beyond Microsoft, I’ve interviewed at and received offers from LinkedIn, Meta, and Capital One. Having gone through these processes myself, I understand the nuances of tech interviews—whether it’s product design, strategy, execution, or behavioral storytelling. I know what each company emphasizes and how to tailor your preparation without losing your authentic voice. As your coach, I’ll help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters: building confidence in your problem-solving, structuring strong answers, and connecting your experiences to what interviewers are really looking for. Whether you’re aiming for Big Tech, a high-growth company, or even an internal move, I can help you prepare with the clarity, precision, and mindset that lead to offers.
