I have worked with him across different problem spaces; performance evaluation, piloting a new capability, or providing feedback on a PRD. And each time, he shows his wealth of experience by being able to quickly spot the core problem(s), share actionable feedback, and is emotionally intelligent enough to know when to offer affirmations. I am looking forward to continuously working with him and so far, I can see the benefits already. My written work, based on his feedback, is standing out, and I am working on being better at my oral communication due largely in part to his clear and directed feedback. ” Read more Show less

When I began, I had: 1. Zero experience in finding a job in the United States; 2. Zero knowledge of frameworks, storytelling strategies, market insights, and honestly, I had never even properly prepared my CV; 3. Almost no network. By the end of this year, I hold a Senior Product Manager position at a very good company. That is directly the result of my work with Ryan. Whenever people ask me what is most important in finding a job, I say - its the people who help you. And Ryan was the most important person along this journey. I continue to work with Ryan, but now my focus is on achieving my long-term career goals.” Read more Show less

I have reached out to Ryan after I was let go at my previous role along with all other PMs. First and foremost I was looking for somebody to give me domain-specific PM perspective in the autonomous vehicles / systems. My goals were: - Honest evaluation of my current skills and XP (compared to the expectations of top AV companies). - Skill development to fill the gaps where needed and share industry insight (the gap between my startup experience and larger companies in my domain) - Review my application materials and improve them - Help to figure out networking and generating more leads Ryan is very focused, has a clear method on getting started with mentoring by sharpening your application materials and your story – but also flexible to attend to specific needs or interview prep. He is quick to respond to any inquiry and puts in extra effort outside of the sessions you actually pay (by reviewing work or questions beforehand). In conclusion–while I am still not in my next role, and continue working with him–I am very pleased with Ryan’s mentorship. ” Read more Show less

I come from a background of academia and construction. I was looking to gain exposure to Product Management and apply new skills to my current role. I'm really Ryan introduced me to this platform because, otherwise, I wouldn't have imagined searching for it otherwise. Ryan was great at introducing many of the language and norms of Product Management. Moreover, he helped me translate the language of PM into the language used in my industry to help me gain support at work.” Read more Show less
