Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I know how tough breaking into product management can be. I was one of just 7 people selected out of 5,500+ applicants (0.14% acceptance rate) for Intuit’s highly competitive RPM program. Since then, I’ve built product experience across Intuit, Mastercard, and Whalesync (a YC startup with $1.92M in funding), as well as by running my own small business to $25K in revenue. I also bring a creative side, having grown Pen Masala’s community from 25K to 145K+ followers with 50M+ views, performing everywhere from the White House to the Paris Olympics. Because I’ve seen what it takes at Fortune 500s, scrappy startups, and entrepreneurial ventures, I love helping aspiring PMs not just get the offer but also build the confidence, skills, and mindset to thrive once they’re in.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With over 15 years of experience across tech, finance, and non-profit sectors, I’m currently a Principal Product Manager at LTK. But prior to joining the startup world, I worked for multiple major tech companies including Amazon, Nokia, and Intuit. I’ve led large-scale, high-impact initiatives across AI-powered search, e-commerce, devices, and emerging tech, from scaling semantic search and personalization systems at LTK and Amazon, to helping launch Nokia’s first professional VR camera as part of its innovation portfolio. My journey has equipped me with a unique perspective on product leadership, organizational influence, and career transitions. I’ve successfully coached 18 individuals into product roles at top tech companies, with a hands-on, practical approach that covers everything from storytelling and resume positioning to interview readiness and navigating internal growth. Whether you’re aiming to break into product or take your career to the next level, I’d love to support your growth with honest, actionable guidance tailored to where you are and where you want to go.

James is a former L6 Senior Product Manager (AI/ML) with Amazon. His unique value add is that he successfully pivoted from Pre-sales -> Management Consulting -> Product Management.

He's interviewed 75+ PM candidates while with Amazon (bar raiser), been the hiring manager for 3 positions, 1:1 mentored 10+ PM's, and has coached over 100+ people. He finds joy in helping others crack their PM/consulting interviews and has had 5+ mentees land offers at FAANG companies in the last few months.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in product management at Amazon, I have spearheaded the development of enterprise-focused products, including a machine learning-driven pricing engine and a centralized data infrastructure.

Product Manager for 2+ years and promoted within 9 months of entry to PM at LinkedIn.

I’m uniquely qualified to coach non-traditional product managers because I’ve lived the path myself. I graduated with a degree in International Affairs, with no product management internships and no traditional PM background. My early experience came from tech sales internships, yet I still landed a role in an Associate Product Management program by leveraging storytelling, positioning, and transferable skills rather than a “perfect” resume. Today, I help non-traditional candidates, career 'switchers', and tech enthusisasts do the same. I work with clients to reframe their background as an asset, not a liability, so they feel empowered rather than discouraged by their education or past experience. My goal is to help them pursue product management opportunities with confidence, clarity, and a compelling narrative, because there is more than one valid path into product and diverse experiences make better product leaders.
