About

Hi, I'm Katarina and I love helping people build their PM skills. I've had leadership roles at large companies and as an early employee (and co-founder) at start ups. I'm great at:
- interview prep -- I've interviewed hundreds of candidates during my time at Meta/Facebook, Microsoft, and other start ups, and can give you feedback ahead of time so you do your best for the real deal!
-- presentation prep -- Whether it's for an interview or presenting to key decision makers, I can give you feedback on both your deck and your verbal presentation style, as well as anticipate questions that your audience will have. We can work on storytelling so that it's a memorable session for your audience as well.
- optimizing an onboarding flow (whether tutorial or more intuitive UX),
- providing a framework for building a spec/PRD, and
- being a sounding board to help you figure out how to work with partner or cross-functional teams

Subject matter expertise:
- KidTech -- Built and led the Integrity (Safety) and Parent Experience teams on Messenger Kids, and I have 2 kids myself,
- EdTech -- Early employee of MindSnacks (worked on everything Product and Operations, and then later hired for it after we secured Series A funding from Sequoia)
- Consumer tech -- My experience includes Social games, Browser Toolbar, Facebook Profile and Notifications

Katarina is kind and personable. She was able to give me some very quick and succinct feedback on both my resume but also career trajectory as I transition from my current gig. Would def recommend her!

When I first reached out to Katarina for mentorship, I was in the midst of a career transition, looking to pivot into a product management role. With no prior experience in formal PM interviews, I knew I needed guidance from someone who had been on the other side of the table. Katarina's specialization in PM case studies and her experience interviewing applicants at Meta made her the perfect mentor for me. Throughout our collaboration, Katarina provided invaluable insights and tips on structuring case studies and tackling product sense questions. What I appreciated most was her patience and responsiveness, always making herself available to answer my questions and offer guidance, even outside of our scheduled calls. Her wealth of knowledge in PM and the tech industry, including niche areas like gaming, was truly impressive and greatly benefited my learning experience. Katarina's mentorship not only helped me gain a deeper understanding of PM case studies and interviews but also provided me with industry-specific knowledge on topics like A/B testing and gaming metrics. Beyond the technical aspects, her support during the mentally challenging times and the ups and downs of my job search was invaluable. Her guidance and encouragement kept me motivated throughout my journey. Thanks to Katarina's mentorship, I feel much more confident and well-equipped to tackle PM interviews and take on the challenges of a product management role. Her dedication to my personal and professional growth has been truly remarkable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from such an experienced and supportive mentor. I can't wait to learn more from Katarina!
