About

I'm a Senior Product Manager at Lyft, with 5 YOE of experience managing ML/AI products, data, search features, and web applications. I've worked in the consulting, startup, and large tech space, and am a career transitioner with no technical background in coding or data. I am living proof of someone who 'faked it till they made it'. :)

My specialty is helping people get their first job in product, or succeed at making the transition from a related role (like BA, consulting, finance, academia) into a technology one. I can also help you learn to adapt product principles to challenges you're facing at work, and build up key product skillsets (prioritizing, writing PRDs, navigating ambiguity).

Some things I can offer you include:
- Resume review
- Determining what 'kind' of PM you want to be
- Interview prep + mocks (product sense & execution)
- Career coaching/advice
- A curated list of resources for product management job seekers

You would be a great mentee for me if:
- You know your 'why' for working in product already
- You have a resume ready to review
- You have concrete goals for the mentorship, whether that's getting a new job or levelling up proficiency in product
- You are motivated and take feedback well

We can also talk shop on the following:
- Developing ML features / personalization strategy
- A/B testing strategies, audience segmentation
- Prioritization frameworks
- Different PM specialties
- Influencing without authority
- Hotspots for product opportunities in the future

None of the plans suit you? Send me an inquiry and we can discuss setting up a custom plan/pricing that fits your needs.

Kristen is an amazing mentor for anyone looking to make a pivot in their career to Prod. Management. She came prepared Day 1 with a game plan for my career goals, customized to my needs and my background. She's provided me with valuable and honest insight on interview prep, case studies, and the PM job application process. She's also very quick and attentive with responding to emails/meeting requests. I'd highly recommend her as a mentor.

From the very beginning, Kristen took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and areas for growth. She provided a structured yet flexible approach to learning, tailoring her advice to my specific needs. Whether it was breaking down complex product management concepts, sharing real-world examples, or helping me navigate challenging scenarios, her insights were always clear, practical, and actionable.
