Hi, I’m Robert Ellis—a product leader turned coach who’s passionate about helping others unlock their potential and achieve meaningful results. Over the past 13 years at The Home Depot, I’ve led multi-million-dollar product investments, built and mentored high-performing teams, and driven innovations that delivered billions in business impact. But the part of my career I’m proudest of? Coaching people to grow in confidence, clarity, and impact. I believe great coaching starts with listening—truly understanding where you are and where you want to go. Whether you’re navigating career transitions, building leadership skills, or seeking clarity in your next big move, I bring both the strategic mindset of a product executive and the empathy of a mentor who’s been there before. My approach blends practical tools, real-world experience, and an authentic belief in your strengths to help you move forward with purpose. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and celebrate your wins along the way, I’d love to work with you. Together, we’ll turn your goals into results—and your potential into impact.

Based on my extensive experience at companies like Microsoft, Samsung, and various startups, I possess a unique combination of skills and expertise that makes me highly qualified to coach in the field of product management. I have gained a deep understanding of product lifecycle management, market research, and the importance of user feedback in shaping product development strategies. Furthermore, your time at Samsung has exposed you to a different facet of the industry, with a focus on mobile technology and consumer electronics. I have honed skills in product strategy, feature prioritization, and agile development methodologies, making you well-versed in the complexities of bringing products to market in a rapidly evolving landscape. All this experience helps in crafting better resumes, delivering more nuanced answers in interviews, and creating a more cohesive product management applicant.

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 work closely with product managers to support them on their career journey. If you need a thorough resume review, guidance for behavioral interviews, referrals, or help in building both soft skills and technical skills, I'm here to assist. Additionally, I can help you iterate the vision and strategy of your product or business to excel in your role. Whether you're just starting out, looking to transition to a new role, or aiming to level up in your current position, I'm dedicated to being your career companion!
