About Evan
I graduated from the University of Washington with a strong foundation in both startup and corporate environments, where I developed a passion for fintech and product innovation. Through hands-on internships, I honed my skills and set my sights on Associate Product Manager (APM) programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently, I’m in my second year of Visa’s APM program, rotating across my third team and gaining diverse experiences in shaping impactful products. I thrive in collaborative settings with people who are passionate about technology, product development, and embody strong leadership values
Why do I coach?
I coach because APM programs are notoriously elusive, with recruiting pipelines that can be unclear and difficult to navigate. Having successfully navigated the process myself and gained firsthand experience as an APM, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to prepare for and succeed in these roles. Living in San Francisco has also given me the opportunity to connect with APMs at Visa and other leading companies, broadening my insights into the field. I’m passionate about helping aspiring product managers navigate their own journeys and achieve their goals.
