Product Management Coaches

Welcome to my profile! I'm Chris Hatfield, a Director of Product at LinkedIn with a strong background in product management and leadership. With over 10 years of experience at top tech companies like LinkedIn and Facebook, I have a proven track record of building and leading cross-functional teams to deliver growth and drive success. I have successfully launched and scaled products such as Facebook Live, Creator tools, and LinkedIn Learning, impacting hundreds of millions of users worldwide. As a coach, I bring a coaching mentality to developing teams, helping individuals understand their unique contributions and how they connect to achieve something greater. If you're looking to excel in product management and take your career to the next level, let's connect and discuss how I can help you reach your goals.

I have 10+ years of product management experience and conducted hundreds of interviews, seeing all kinds of success and failure—yes, there are patterns you can master. Currently Staff PM at Stitch Fix, previously product lead at TikTok, Pinterest and PayPal. I have helped 20+ people later to get in Facebook and Google through peer coaching and I know the pattern really well on how to impress your interviewers and hit all the right points. It applies not only to tier 1 companies like Google, Facebook, DoorDash, Pinterest, but also can be twisted slightly and help you get the job for start-ups. It's amazing how the formula works and I would love to help more people to get their dream jobs.

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!

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.

I graduated as a Computer Engineer and worked as a Software Engineer before transitioning into Product. I taught myself what Product Management was, recreated my SWE resume into a PM resume by highlighting transferrable skills and figuring out what recruiters want to see, and transitioned into PM shortly after. Since then, I have helped over 30+ clients transition into Product Management or perform career discovery for tech roles like Product Manager and Project Manager. As a PM, I have worked in the HR Tech, Healthcare, and eCommerce industries as an Innovation PM, bringing new products from idea to launch for both mobile and web applications. Recommended for: 1. Career Transitions (Your Role --> Product Manager) 2. Career Discovery (Unsure if Product Manager is right for you or what other tech roles there are that you may like) 3. PM Prep (Revamping your resume, PM interview prep, take-home assignment study + review)

As a technical product manager turned CEO and co-founder, I built my career from engineer to PM and ultimately PM manager during seven years at Microsoft. There, I led the development of enterprise cloud and Windows solutions sold to Fortune 100 companies and served as the first PM lead on a product incubation now generating over $1B in annual revenue. That experience enabled me to drive product strategy and execution from zero to scale in my own startup, leading the creation of complex, enterprise-grade solutions adopted by Fortune 500 customers.

As an incoming Microsoft TPM Intern and ex-Amazon PM intern, with years of experience as a Product, Program, Project, and Product Marketing Manager at various Forbes recognized startups, I have the expertise to help you achieve your PM-goals. As the Founder and President of the National PM Association, launching chapters at the University of Washington, Santa Clara University, and Rice University, my passion for connecting others with the resources, knowledge, and skills needed to land their dream APM or PM role is evident. With experience coaching, mentoring, and personally preparing dozens of university students and new graduates, helping many secure various PM roles in Big-Tech, I have the proven expertise to help support you in your career goals. From interview preparation, mock interviews, resume reviews, and to coaching on how to position yourself to land your perfect role, please reach out to me to learn more about how I can help support you in your PM goals and aspirations!
