Your mentor
Across my 16+ years in product management at Google, Microsoft, and assorted venture-backed startups, I've had the privilege of receiving mentorship from luminaries including Paul Graham, Sam Altman, and Kai Fu Lee. I know not everyone gets these mentorship opportunities, so I am here to share my experience with a wider audience. Right now, I'm mentoring at a discount rate, to be affordable for people from all corners of the globe.
My background as a Y Combinator-backed founder and as a PM teacher at General Assembly will inform how I support your growth.
I can help you:
- Fine-tune your product presentation, whether it’s for potential investors, the board, or internal stakeholders
- Strategize your customer discovery process
- Define an efficient development, testing, and launch process, particularly with remote teams
- Improve collaboration with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, marketing, etc)
- Establish a product prioritization process
- Design your MVP and product plans
- Identify metrics and analytics tools for your product
As your mentor, I’m here to support you via text, email, and video calls. Feel free to include any questions you have in your application. To ensure our mentorship is the right fit, you’ll get a 7-day free trial. Looking forward to the journey ahead!
