Product Management Coaches

As a Product Manager, I have helped build the strategy and product to 4x revenue for a startup that then went public via SPAC (Talkspace), and joined as #3 building out the product function at a $1.2B-valued mental health-tech company. Most of my experience is in Consumer Product, but I've also worked in B2B Product.

As a student from a non-target school, I know it's plenty hard to land an APM offer. In fact, I was the first in my alma mater to land an APM. It wasn't easy at all, but if you're ready to work for it, I'm more than happy to help with mock interviews and whatever other advice you may have. I'm really proud to say that I was not only able to get myself an APM offer, but also 4 others who I mocked closely with! I've been a product manager from my own seed-stage startup all the way to a post-PMF company. During this time, I've worked on products that are both B2B and B2C. I've led teams ranging from 6-18 members and shipped products, making an impact of $50M+ I love working on B2C products, and have ample experience in e-commerce and startups :)

I've interviewed and landed offers for multiple entry-level PM roles. Consumed a ton of PM content and know what's helpful and not. Happy to help anyone on a similar journey!

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook and have spent many hours "on the other side of the table." I can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by hiring managers and recruiters.

My qualifications as a coach are built on deep, practitioner-level experience in AI product management. I spent 9 years at Amazon as a Principal Technical Product Manager, where I led the strategy and development of complex AI and Generative AI products. This specialization is the culmination of a career spanning 25+ years that began in engineering, giving me a firsthand understanding of how to translate technical skills into strategic product competencies—a critical skill for any aspiring AI product leader.   As a former hiring manager at Amazon who conducted over 150 interviews for these roles, I offer a rare, 360-degree perspective on what it takes to build an impactful career in the most competitive sector of technology.
