Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hey there! I’m Elana, an Associate Product Manager at Atlassian. A few years ago, I was in your shoes—trying to break into product from an unconventional background (Philosophy & CS). However, I've been able to work at tech companies of all sizes where I've learned what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to resumes, networking, and interviews. Now, I love helping people navigate the PM hiring process. I've helped students land internships and full-time roles at Microsoft, Amazon, and many other Big-Tech companies. Here’s how I can help: - Personalized Game Plan: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. I’ll work with you to create a tailored strategy based on your background, goals, and strengths—so you’re not just following generic tips, but building a plan that’s uniquely yours - Storytelling: I’ll help you uncover and articulate your authentic story, making your application stand out for the right reasons. Together, we’ll find the “why” behind your journey and translate it into a narrative that resonates with recruiters - Mock Interviews & Feedback: We’ll run through realistic behavioral and case interviews, with detailed, constructive feedback so you can improve with every session - Ongoing Support: I’m here for you beyond just a single session. Whether you need a pep talk before an interview, a quick resume review, or advice on negotiating an offer, you’ll have a coach in your corner every step of the way. Let's land that dream PM role together!

I'm a Senior PM at Microsoft with over 10 years of experience in Big Tech spanning roles across Technical Support Engineering, Software Engineering, and many flavors of Program Management. My experience includes areas such as Customer Experience, Community, Learning & Development, Career Development, Business Development, and more. My career has focused on driving innovation, managing cross-functional teams, and delivering impactful results. I have worked extensively in dynamic environments where I honed my ability to balance technical and business needs while collaborating with diverse teams. As the founder of No-Fluff Coaching, I’ve helped professionals successfully transition into Product Management and advance their careers. With my guidance, clients master interview preparation, effective communication, stakeholder management, and negotiation—key skills to excel in PM roles. Whether you're looking to break into Product Management, level up your skills as a PM, or navigate a career pivot, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll build the confidence, strategies, and expertise you need to thrive and create meaningful impact as a product leader.

Explored career switches from engineering to business during my MBA and interviewed for Product Management and Strategy jobs. I can help with navigating career changes and PM interview prep, as I did an intensive 6 months of recruiting for large companies and startups, ultimately working as a PM for a startup and then Consultant for BCG.

I started my career in Google's APM program, and am currently at DoorDash. I've interviewed with several APM/entry level PM programs (Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, etc.) and several big tech companies for PM roles. My strength is helping folks break into product management, including behavioral & product interview prep/mock interviews and resume review as well as general guidance & coaching for early in career PMs.

In 2022, I transitioned into product management with zero formal experience as a PM. Since then, I've built my career in the adtech and database spaces, working on external and internal products from 0-1. I can share my experience and provide coaching for writing product documents, gathering and actioning on product feedback, managing stakeholder expectations, and interviewing for PM positions with empathy and honesty.
