Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

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.

If you want the perspective of someone who has successfully transitioned recently (during the hardest job market since 2000), I'm your gal!
