When I first connected with Renee, I was working to transition into a more fulfilling role in climate tech. I was struggling with how to position my transferable skills and what things to look for in a successful start up. I was also relocating to San Diego and trying to figure out how to plug into the climate ecosystem, build literacy, and network effectively. Renee was instrumental in helping me navigate that transition. She helped me refine my networking approach, prepare for interviews, and think strategically about which roles, companies and verticals within climate tech were the best fit for my long term goals. Her guidance was both strategic and practical, and she went out of her way to connect me with others in the industry. Her mentorship directly contributed to me successfully landing a new role in climate that I am much happier in. Renee is direct, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable about strategic product management and the climate tech landscape. I’d highly recommend her to product-minded professionals who are working in climate or trying to break into the space.

Working with Renee as my mentor was a great experience that truly exceeded my expectations. She brought real structure to the process — her 'Job Search Focus & Positioning Workbook' was a game-changer, helping me move from a scattered frame of mind to more clarity and momentum. Her deep expertise meant she could take my honest, real-world inputs and sharpen my positioning and narrative. What made her stand out was how she combined that knowledge with a warm, encouraging communication style that made even the uncertain moments feel manageable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Renee to any professional looking to level up their personal brand and seeking a clear, structured approach.

Renee has given me razor sharp clarity on a few hairy issues I’m facing at work as a director of product. We’ve only worked for a couple of sessions together, but she’s already made a 10x impact on how I show up as a leader. Her approach is wise - I’m learning how to think as a head of product, and it is also clear and actionable. I’m really grateful for her wisdom and advice!
