Technical Program Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

TPM @ Microsoft

Across my 15 year career I've helped aspiring program managers break into careers in program management as well as product management. I am experienced with program management interview questions and have successfully coached candidates to land offers at FAANG

Welcome to my profile! With over 550 hours of coaching experience, I specialize in guiding technical program managers to excel in their careers. As a Senior Product Manager at Apple, I led initiatives that significantly improved process efficiencies and managed key AI/ML projects, equipping me with firsthand knowledge of the industry's demands. My experience at Uber and Aurora Innovation further honed my skills in leading diverse teams and managing complex projects. I have successfully coached 62 individuals, helping them navigate their career paths and maximize their leadership potential. Let's work together to unlock your full potential in the technical program management field!

I bring over 7 years of deep technical program management experience from the most rigorous environments in the world. My career spans leadership roles at Apple, Adobe, and DoubleVerify, as well as serving as the Head of Product Operations and Senior TPM at a Series C startup. I have led high-stakes company-wide initiatives, including the M&A integration of the Salesforce platform and the automation of R&D audit workflows. My track record includes launching over 20 public products and dozens of features across consumer tech, adtech, and marketing tech. I specialize in complex routing logic and have pioneered the integration of AI and LLMs to build intelligent systems. Moving into these highly technical spaces without a traditional STEM degree allowed me to master the exact transition many of my students are seeking to make. My qualifications as a coach stem from my ability to translate complex technical requirements into successful career moves. I have successfully managed large-scale implementations with external partners and navigated the intricacies of R&D operations. Because I learned to master AI and LLMs from a non-technical starting point, I am uniquely positioned to help others bridge that same gap. I have already used these strategies to help candidates land roles at top-tier firms like Apple, Meta, Goldman Sachs, and Blackrock. Whether you are aiming for a TPM role or trying to break into a technical organization from a non-traditional background, I provide the step by step framework and technical confidence necessary to succeed.

With a robust background in strategy and operations, I can guide you through the Amazon recruiting process and how I landed a full time Senior Program Manager job offer. I can also speak to the day-day role, interviewing and negotiating process. My academic journey includes an MBA from the Haas School of Business at Berkeley and a Bachelor's degree from Wellesley College, where I was actively involved in leadership roles. I am passionate about helping aspiring technical program managers navigate their career paths and achieve their goals. Let's connect to craft a personalized strategy for your success!

As an ex-TPM, I have led massive programs at companies like IBM, Opentext and have cracked TPM interviews at Nvidia (twice) and Google (once) and also failed one at Meta. I can help you prepare for TPM interviews at big tech, conduct mock interviews, help review your resume. Like most interviews, a lot is about story telling and I can help structure your responses that create the right impact.

With over 6 years of experience at Microsoft as a Product Manager, I have extensive experience leading cross-functional teams and aligning on hard problems while ensuring all voices are heard, especially in innovation spaces like IoT and building agentic experiences. I bridge the gap between high-level product vision and deep technical execution. With a background in full-stack development and years of driving AI system alignment, I help TPMs navigate the complexities of LLMs, agentic experiences, and cross-functional alignment. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of how to build unwavering trust with engineering teams while maintaining the strategic clarity needed to drive large-scale innovation. I've successfully coached over 30 individuals across varying levels of experience and backgrounds, where they have landed roles at Apple, Microsoft, Google, Slack, and more. If you are looking to master the art of translating complex technical requirements into executable plans, learn how to unite design, research, and engineering teams behind a single goal, build your confidence and voice within high-stakes, ambiguous spaces, or more, I would love to connect and be part of your journey!
