Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook and have spent many hours "on the other side of the table." I can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by hiring managers and recruiters.

After a few years of consulting at Accenture, I went all in on resources and learning about product, to then pivot to PM at Capital One. There are a lot of parallels between consulting and product management - stakeholder management, business analysis, and problem-solving. I want to help you break into product management and prepare you for the different types of interviews: product skills, product design, business analysis cases, and behavioral fit. I'm helped clients land offers at companies such as Asana and Capital One. Whether you're early or mid-career, technical or non-technical, I'd be happy to chat through how your experiences translate over to the product space and what additional skills are needed.

As a Principal Product Manager and CPO, I have extensive experience in spinning up start-ups, developing products from 0-1 and bringing innovative concepts to life. I have successfully led multi-disciplinary teams to launch numerous products to market, in both software and hardware. In addition to my day-to-day Product role, I also serve as a Lead Instructor for Product Management at General Assembly, where I inspire and upskill new product managers. With a background in digital media studies and journalism from Stanford University, I bring a unique blend of creativity and problem-solving skills to my coaching. I have previously coached many individuals in product management, helping them navigate their careers and achieve their goals. Whether you're looking to break into Product Management or lift your product capabilities to the next level, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and discuss how I can help you reach your full potential!

Hey I’m Ollie! and I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve navigated countless applications, refined my resume dozens of times, and pushed through burnout and self-doubt while trying to break into (or level up in) Product Management.

After hundreds of interviews and the rollercoaster of rejections and breakthroughs, I developed a practical framework to help you play to your strengths, tell your story with confidence, and land the role that truly fits you. My coaching goes beyond templates. I’ll help you clarify & customize your story, amplify your advantages, and stand out authentically in the competitive world of PM.

I am a Senior Product Manager at Amazon with 15+ years of experience across Amazon, Rakuten, and FedEx, including product, program, project, operations, and cross-functional leadership roles. I help candidates turn scattered experience into a sharp career story, then practice communicating it clearly in resumes, interviews, and networking conversations. My coaching is strongest for product management, technical program/project management, business operations, and tech-adjacent career moves. I can help with PM behavioral interviews, product sense and strategy discussions, execution stories, resume and LinkedIn positioning, career transition narratives, and mock interviews. I bring a practical hiring-manager-style lens: what is the signal, what is noise, and how do we make your examples easy for an interviewer to trust? I coach in English, Japanese, and Chinese and work especially well with international candidates targeting global tech companies or cross-border roles.

I'm a Senior PM Manager with 20 years of experience building products at scale, most recently at Meta where I led work across Mixed Reality, Spatial Systems, and AI. My last role was on the Smart Glasses AI team, which means I know firsthand what AI PM work actually looks like inside one of the most demanding product environments in the world. Over my career at Meta I conducted more than 200 PM interviews, where my assessment directly determined whether someone got hired. I know what separates candidates who get the offer from candidates who get cut, and I know how to close that gap fast. I coach PMs who are serious about making a move into AI product roles at Big Tech or AI-native companies. My approach is direct and diagnostic. I will tell you exactly where you stand, what is actually in the way, and what to do about it.

I help product managers advance to senior PM, director, or VP roles without exhausting themselves trying to prove they're 'strategic enough.' With 17+ years in product leadership (Product Manager at Google/DoubleClick, VP of Product at DialogTech directing a $40M B2B SaaS platform), I know what separates senior ICs from product leaders. It's not more execution. It's learning when to ask strategic questions instead of just delivering. My clients are stuck doing strategic work but not getting credit for it, or they're in leadership roles but still operating like they need to prove they belong. I help PMs communicate strategy, build executive presence, and lead products and teams at scale.
