I'm a Senior Technical Product Manager with 10+ years in tech, working across data, API and AI products. I help people in Product navigate technical, data & AI work, career growth, and transitions.
I started my career as a software engineer and made a conscious move into product. I bring technical and data-driven depth into everything I do – from hands-on data analysis and AI prototyping, to roadmaps and commercial strategy.
I hold an ICF ACC coaching credential and a PGDip in Applied Neuroscience from King's College London, which shapes how I work with people: a supportive, trust-based space, with real hands-on product and engineering experience. I have 200h+ experience in coaching and mentoring.
What we might work on:
- Making sense of the technical landscape – AI, data, APIs – and how to operate with confidence in this landscape as a Product Manager
- Learning hard skills as a PM - data analysis, SQL, Python, AI tools, Claude Code, and more
- Working with technical stakeholders: building trust, navigating friction, being heard
- Career transitions: moving between roles in tech & product, engineer to PM, IC to lead.
- Interview prep, mock interviews, CV prep, and landing your next role
- The real-life stuff: a challenging stakeholder situation, a decision you keep putting off, a conversation you're avoiding, holding up under pressure when everyone's watching, setting boundaries and managing workload when the demands aren't reasonable.
How I work:
Sessions are structured around what you're actually dealing with, not a fixed plan. I work from a coaching stance – which means I'm less likely to hand you a template and more likely to help you figure out what's actually going on. If you need it, I'll teach you hard skills hands-on and offer my opinion and experience – but the goal is always for you to own it, not just follow what I say.

One-off sessions with Marta
One-off sessions are a great option if you're looking for specific advice on a certain topic.

What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different–here's what Marta says about their trial:
The trial week is a chance for both of us to see if we're a good fit. We'll have a short call (up to 30 minutes) to talk through where you are, what you're working on, and what you're hoping to get from mentorship. I'll be honest with you about whether I think I can genuinely help – and you should feel free to do the same.
