Career Roadmap & Promotion Strategy with

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.

VP of Product with 15+ years of leadership experience across Lyft, Dropbox, Yelp, Google, and startups. Executive product leader experienced in leading product strategy and execution across large cross-functional teams.

I’ve authored PM career ladders, leveling frameworks, and promotion processes at multiple tech companies. I’ve also chaired promotion committees where these frameworks are applied in practice. This gives me a rare perspective into how promotion and calibration decisions are made.

In these sessions, I help you clarify your target level, identify gaps in scope, impact, and leadership, and build a concrete roadmap to close those gaps. I also help you understand how to position your work so it is well recognized by leadership and promotion committees.

These sessions are meant for product leaders who want a clear, structured view of how to grow to their next level and beyond. My approach is grounded in deep, hands-on experience evaluating and coaching PMs across all levels (including Senior Director+), shaping promotion decisions, and defining what “great” looks like in real companies.
