About this session

Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.

Your mentor

I've been coaching and managing PMs over the past 10+ years, helping them grow and thrive in their careers.

I have developed a Career Vision and Strategy framework to help individuals identify what really matters to them and where they need to grow. Then, I craft a career strategy that empowers their growth and helps them overcome the biggest obstacles to achieving their goals.

From the start, Chris was focused on what I was looking for in a mentor, what my current challenges were as a product manager, and whether he was the right fit. I also appreciated that he offered different ways he could provide feedback to suit my personal style. Since then, I've come to Chris with all sorts of challenges and questions related to my product career. His insights and support have been fantastic. I value that he challenges me and pushes me to engage my product thinking, offering feedback on where I could improve or approach a solution differently. I also really appreciate the stories he shares about facing similar challenges, how he handled them, and what he learned, which he often passes on to me. I've applied those changes into my career and have seen a noticeable improvement in how I conduct solving problems through product thinking and how to engage with stakeholders at all levels at my current company. Finally, Chris is incredibly non-judgemental and supportive. Whether you're facing a big or small challenge, he's always ready to listen, offer support, and give the feedback you need to hear in order to grow. I highly recommend Chris as a mentor for anyone looking to take their product career to the next level.”

What stands out most is his outcome-focused style — every session has a clear purpose, and he always brings the conversation back to what will actually move the needle. He explains product concepts in a way that feels grounded and real, and his advice on shaping roadmaps, handling stakeholders, and thinking strategically has had an immediate impact on my work. He’s easy to speak with, asks the right questions, and really takes the time to understand where you’re trying to go. I’d highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants practical growth in the field. ”
