About
I am an Engineering Director with 23 years of experience, including 15 years in leadership, at Google, Coinbase, and Yahoo. My career has spanned Ads, Search, Cloud, and Crypto, giving me a front-row seat to both hyper-growth and massive-scale engineering.
Currently, I am on a deliberate career sabbatical. I’m using this time to give back to the community, helping leaders navigate the same high-stakes environments I’ve spent two decades in.
How we can work together:
- Engineering & Org Leadership: Strategy for first-time managers, managing managers, and designing healthy, high-performing org structures.
- The Promotion "Black Box": Tactical roadmapping to help you reach the next level at Tier-1 tech companies.
- Sustainable High Performance: Managing the "Human Side" of tech - navigating maternity/paternity leave, preventing burnout and planning sabbaticals
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to learn from Poorva. She is a great mentor, listener, communicator, and a great person. Preparing for our mentorship sessions has always been a joy, and every conversation leaves me with new insights and perspectives. It is always exciting to learn from her experiences during the sessions, and she shares them in a way that is practical and thoughtful, knowledge that only comes with years of experience and is difficult to gain from books or any other sources. I also really appreciated Poorva’s kind gesture when I had some internet connection issues during one of our sessions and we lost part of the time. She was kind enough to offer me a complimentary 30-minute session to make up for it. I am very glad to have the opportunity to learn from Poorva and would highly recommend her as a mentor.
