Some big interviews coming up? In this 1-hour session, a mentor with hiring experience will act as a technical interviewer and ask you some standard hiring questions that you might hear in one of your future interview too, and will evaluate your replies. As a …
What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different—here’s what Ivan says about their trial:
We'll meet for a quick call (usually under 30 minutes) where we:
- Break the ice and introduce ourselves
- Discuss your goals and how I can support you
- Coordinate logistics like time zones, meeting frequency, and communication methods
I help product and technology leaders grow faster, make smarter decisions, and build products—and careers—that scale. My mentorship blends two decades of global leadership experience with practical, hands-on coaching you can apply immediately.
I’ve spent 20+ years driving enterprise transformation to product-centric models, embedding AI into operations and customer-facing technology, and delivering global-scale distributed systems and platforms. My career spans engineering, product management, UX, data engineering, and general management. Along the way, I’ve built hardware systems like storage arrays, server racks, and SSDs (including AWS Nitro SSD), and the distributed platforms behind Amazon’s e-commerce site.
At Amazon and Google, I founded and scaled engineering, product, and UX organizations, managing budgets up to $XXX million and enabling revenues of $XX billion. I’ve led organizational change, shifted teams toward customer-focused strategies, and operationalized AI to deliver measurable results.
In addition to leadership and product strategy, I coach candidates to succeed in Big Tech interviews—including Amazon’s and Google’s rigorous processes. I can help you understand the evaluation criteria, practice behavioral and technical interview techniques, and tailor your story to stand out.
Whether you’re a first-time founder navigating your first pivot, a mid-career professional aiming for executive leadership, or preparing to land a role at Amazon or Google, we’ll work together to clarify your goals, tackle your biggest challenges, and sharpen your leadership skills.
If you’re ready to accelerate your growth, ace your interviews, and elevate your impact, let’s get to work.

Ivan is an exceptional coach. I really enjoyed working with him over the course of 6+ months. He's refreshingly direct, gives stellar feedback, and works well with async/written asks for input (which is ideal for me). He is also a great person, who is committed to high quality coaching and mentorship. He has helped me navigate a variety of topics: my own career growth; a difficult, high-stakes management situation; my approach to professional relationships; and more. Although our formal mentor-mentee relationship has ended, I look forward to keeping a strong and long-lasting relationship with Ivan.

I was laid off suddenly (shortly after having a kid) and Ivan helped me with my job search. First, he was emotionally supportive about my layoff. Then, during the job search, he helped me rewrite my resume. He reviewed and gave feedback on take-home assignments. He helped me prepare for interviews by listing out important questions to prepare for and then reviewing my answers. Lastly, when I landed my job he helped me negotiate and develop a 30-60-90 day plan. Ivan is very knowledgeable about product management and product management hiring processes. He has a no-nonsense attitude and was very responsive. His help made a noticeable difference in each stage: my resume got better and got more responses, my rate of passing interview screens went up, I got great at passing hiring manager screens (passed 6 out of 7) and got better at passing 2nd round interviews too, I passed all my take-home assignments and I've been able to incorporate his feedback into my actual work too. Ultimately, I landed a new position in 2 months that pays better and working on more interesting problems. This timeline was quick for the state of the job market (employers' job market). Ivan's mentorship was critical to achieving this.

I’d like to express my appreciation for Ivan’s outstanding mentorship. We touched a number of topics during our conversations: schedule planning, how to success in the difficult situations, personal growth, etc. His advice on structuring meetings has helped me improve communication within my team and reduce unnecessary meetings. Ivan has also provided great guidance on how to organize teams effectively. He encourages stepping out of comfort zones, to enable grow both personally and professionally. His approach to learning by doing, rather than just relying on theory, has been particularly valuable. The reading recommendations he shared have also been insightful and practical. Overall, Ivan’s mentorship has greatly helped me become a better leader and more effective in my role.
