I’ve learned a lot over my 15 years in product and I want to share those lessons with others in product, to help them navigate their careers.
I’m known for being a force-multiplier for teams and I bring that same skill to product coaching. In addition to my on-the-job management experience, I’ve also taught entrepreneurship at the University of Cape Town, started my own coaching company and I’ve run several successful internship programs.
I would describe my style as direct while remaining empathetic. I believe the interview frameworks are just like lego blocks and each person must learn to use them in their own way.
I sometimes think my path to product was unique because I started my career as a photojournalist, but I don’t think any two product managers have taken the same path. I have worked with entrepreneurs (Bottlerocket, UrbanSwim Sycamore Farms) and large tech companies (Amazon, Google, Yelp) and bring the lessons from both to my coaching.
