About
I mentor Product Managers and Product Owners on how to get the most out of AI. Whether you're new to AI or have been using AI tools for years, I can help you get consistent and better results.
My approach blends practical career navigation with deep expertise in design, data, UX and product. I also bring firsthand experience balancing a high-performance career while managing a chronic health condition, giving me a unique perspective on resilience in the workplace.
I’ve spent the last 20 years forging a diverse path - starting as a Photographer and Educator, then transitioning into Software Development, Product Design, and ultimately, Product Management. I now lead workshops on AI enablement for Product Managers, Designers, and Developers.
Having spent 15 years in Product Management and Development, I’ve done a lot, including:
• Running a web hosting and development agency
• Co-founding a Food Tech startup
• Leading product strategy as a Head of Product in an InsurTech
• Building large-scale commerce systems at Hopper
• And working as a Growth Product Manager for a multi-national eCommerce platform
I’m currently taking a hiatus from corporate product work to instead focus on coaching/mentoring/workshops and a few personal projects. With the time and attention I can give you, I'm confident that I can help you get the most out of AI. I invite you to apply and book a free consultation call to see if there's a fit.

Steedan is a fantastic mentor! I came to Mentor Cruise to find a mentor that could help me 1) figure out if Product Management is something I have skills for 2) Find some hope I could go into Product with a background in mental health/peer counseling. Before finding Steedan I didn't know how to get into Product besides reading books, Coursera, or subscribing to newsletters. I come from a nontraditional background entering into Product. I didn't know before choosing Steedan that he had a semi non traditional path into product too. It is great to work with someone that is chill, knows a lot about Product, listens, insightful, and allows the mentee to lead the sessions. I wish I could have more sessions per pay period, but it is helpful that mentors are available through chat or email. I do think it helps to come prepared to each meeting so Steedan can help you the best he can during the 30 min meeting. I found meetings that I was prepared I felt Steedan was able to help me more and understand what I had been doing between sessions. Overall super great experience having Steedan as my mentor. Highly recommend! I'm a beginner to finding my way into Product, but if you are experienced in tech, design, or other profession that more easily lends to Product Steedan is a mentor to talk to too. :) I came out of my mentorship with a path to creating a portfolio of my mental health work with new eyes as a Product Manager despite no Product experience. Several months ago I didn't think that was possible!
