Based on 6 verified mentee reviews
Having many varied roles on my own path to product management (engineering, sales, marketing, co-founder) I was lucky enough to have great mentors and coaches that guided me along my journey.
From the initial CTOs/GMs at Intel that advised me to understand marketing and sales (beyond engineering), to really learning a ton on the job about management and leadership at running a startup, while also learning a great deal on product process at different stages of companies (Kenshoo, Glassdoor, Sendoso) to more recently becoming Head of Product at Turing, a Series D Startup focused on accelerating AGI advancement and deployment. where I am able to leverage all my learnings to scale the product process effectively.
I am also very much focused on the coaching mentality with all of my direct reports as you'll see from some of the recommendations left on my LinkedIn profile:

Gabriel Brown - Group PM
"Sam’s expertise in product runs deep... Whether it be suggesting a fresh approach, introducing a new framework, or challenging the convention, our team was consistently evolving how we managed, communicated, and documented. It’s not an exaggeration when I say I learned something new in every meeting with him."
Uday Marapalli - Product at Upwork
"As a people leader, Sam believes in taking bets on people from unconventional backgrounds, empowers PMs to take complete ownership of their product area and creates opportunities for their growth."
Daniel Kent - Director of PM, Personalization at Dow Jones
"As a manager and mentor, Sam was supportive, both personally and in elevating the work of his team within Glassdoor... I left each session feeling empowered and ready for the next."
5 out of 5 stars
I met with Sam regularly for a couple of years while navigating a career transition. He is very dedicated to the mentorship experience. He is knowledgeable about product, startups, and AI, staying up-to-date with current trends and regularly testing new products himself. He provided helpful suggestions and feedback about career strategy and the various projects I worked on along the way, even when some drifted outside of his primary domain.
