Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I bring over a decade of experience managing PM teams, having worked across both fast-paced startups and leading tech companies like Meta and LinkedIn. I’ve also advised early-stage founders on product strategy through the UC Berkeley Accelerator, helping them bring their ideas to life. Currently, I lead peer coaching circles for women PMs through the Women In Product organization, where I’m passionate about fostering community, confidence, and growth in Women.

With a robust background in AI and product management, I bring over a decade of experience from leading tech giants like Microsoft and Google. As a Senior Director of AI at Microsoft, I drive innovation in Generative AI, while my tenure at Google saw me spearheading AI solutions that generated significant business impact. My academic journey includes executive education from Stanford GSB, focusing on corporate innovation and leadership. I've successfully coached over 100 individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of product management and achieve their career goals. Let's connect to craft a strategy that propels you to success in the dynamic world of product management!

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in product management and strategic partnerships, I bring a wealth of experience from top tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. At Amazon, I founded a new vertical product team, driving significant revenue growth and expanding product management roles. My time at Google was marked by leading digital maturity programs across $500M in client revenue, earning me the Grow with Google America Award for outstanding collaboration. I specialize in helping aspiring product managers navigate the complexities of the field, from defining roadmaps to scaling solutions. Let's connect to craft a personalized strategy for your career in product management!

Successfully coached 50+ candidates interviewing for FAANG companies on product sense, execution, and behavioral interviews, as well as resume reviews!

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.

I’m a product manager with experience across consumer platforms and marketplaces, working on personalization, ranking, and monetization systems. I’ve built ML-driven feeds and notifications, launched a 0→1 commerce platform, and improved matching and conversion in hiring products. I’ve also helped peers and PMs navigate interviews and transitions. What I’ve seen is that strong candidates often struggle not because of ability, but because their story isn’t clear or their thinking isn’t structured. I focus on helping you position your experience clearly, think through problems with structure, and build a story that holds together.

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. Therefore, he specializes in helping people cross over into Product from other fields (including Consulting, Sales, Engineering, Program, Marketing, Legal, Support, and Operations). 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.

Principal Product Manager at Amazon and Zillow, launched multiple 0→1 businesses with meaningful company impact, interviewed 130+ PM candidates. I enjoy helping PMs tell stronger product stories, deliver results, and navigate real-world product careers - practical, honest coaching from someone who’s been there.

With a passion for leveraging technology to drive innovative solutions, I have led transformative product development at top-tier companies like Goldman Sachs and Nubank. As a Senior Product Manager at Nubank, I spearhead the launch of a lending product in new markets, focusing on democratizing financial access in Latin America to underserved communities. At Goldman Sachs, I directed a digital platform for financial wellness, impacting over 1.5 million users and leading a team to launch multiple products to help people address obstacles in their financial journeys. My experience spans across strategy development, roadmap planning, user research, new market expansion, revenue optimization, cross-functional team leadership, and I've successfully coached many individuals to excel in their product management careers and hiring process. For people interested in breaking into the product space, I am more than happy to help identify good product opportunities, assist with interview prep, and review resumes and cover letters. I shifted into the product space without a technical or product background, which can be helpful context for people trying to pivot into the space! For current PMs, I can help level up product skillsets and experience as you look to expand scope, seek a promotion, improve effectiveness, adjust to a new team or handle other obstacles that may be present in your product career. Let's collaborate and alleviate the stress of product recruiting and career navigating!
