Hi, I’m Mahesh. I’m a product leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling products at Microsoft and Amazon across AI, search, and commerce platforms. Over my career, I’ve launched several 0→1 products and worked both as an individual contributor and a people manager, leading global cross-functional teams delivering experiences used by millions of customers and developers.
I enjoy helping PMs grow in their careers — whether that’s preparing for product interviews, strengthening product strategy and execution, or navigating the transition from IC roles into leadership. Having operated in both IC and management roles, I bring practical perspectives on product thinking, stakeholder influence, and driving impact in complex organizations.
I also help mentees think through career strategy and networking, including how to build meaningful industry connections and approach opportunities at top tech companies.
If you're preparing for PM interviews, exploring your next career move, or looking to grow as a product leader, I’d be happy to work through real scenarios and share insights from my experience.
Outside of work, I’m an avid biker and enjoy exploring new trails and outdoor adventures.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
