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 :)

The Why precedes the How. This is how i have always operated and this is what lured me into Product Management 13 years ago. I have anchored around Platform Product management focussing on building robust Customer Data platforms, Insights Platforms and lately, Dynamic Pricing platforms. Understanding a customers journey, looking for behavioral patterns, generating key insights backed with data and creating experiences by partnering with BU's across the organization is something i thrive in. My philosophy of coaching is to understand what the candidate wants to get out our session, where are they in their career currently and how can i help them reach the next level. I also thrive in enabling my candidates think out of the box and ask the right questions in any conversation.

I specialize in helping PMs break into top-tier roles by sharpening product thinking, mastering storytelling, and building confidence through mock interviews and targeted feedback. Whether you’re early in your journey or aiming for your next big leap, I’ve been in your shoes, and I know what it takes to stand out.
