About

Hi, I’m David! Not trying to make money - but want the mentee to put some skin in the game to take this seriously.

I’ve spent over 20 years in product management, leadership, and career growth helping professionals and teams at Meta, Yahoo, and Mattel build great products, scale their careers, and navigate complex challenges.

I have degrees from top schools: Wharton; Stanford; U of Michigan

I specialize in product strategy, leadership development, and coaching—whether you’re looking to break into product management, advance to leadership, or refine your career trajectory, I’m here to help. I’ve mentored PMs, startup founders, and executives, guiding them through career transitions, product launches, and team leadership.

I’m also the author of ISBN-13 978-1365138317 Leadership and Drive: Best Practices for Cultivating High-Performance Teams, a practical guide on building and leading successful teams. During my time at Meta, I was honored with the coveted Facebook/Meta PMmmy’s award for Mentor of the Year 2021.

If you’re looking for 1:1 mentorship, interview prep, career coaching, or product strategy guidance, let’s connect!

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I have tried hiring professional coaches before, and most of them provided generic, surface-level advice. David could not be more different. He goes deep into your specific problems, your industry, and your exact situation before trying to help. You never feel like you are getting a one-size-fits-all answer. David is also extremely prepared. He even has a small book he shares that is full of very practical advice on how to operate inside large tech organizations. It covers things that may seem obvious in hindsight, but would otherwise take years, and a lot of mistakes, to learn on your own. More than anything, David genuinely cares about what he does and about helping you succeed. You can feel his passion in every interaction, and that makes a huge difference.

David has been instrumental in helping me clarify my responsibilities, scope, and expectations as I transition into a project management role. His guidance has given me a clear path forward, both in my current position and for future opportunities. He’s extremely responsive and offers thoughtful, scenario-specific advice that’s both practical and actionable. I especially appreciate how deeply he dives into understanding challenges before providing recommendations, his insights always feel tailored and grounded in real experience. Working with David has opened my eyes to several new perspectives and motivated me to seek out opportunities for growth. Thanks to his mentorship, my development as a project manager has accelerated significantly.

David has significantly helped me sharpen my product skills. He does a great job of laying out the big picture and then follows up with thoughtful questions that push me to think critically and grow independently. I’ve gained a lot from his guidance and would highly recommend him as a mentor.
