Jenai’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Product Manager
10+ people coached for Product Management
Jenai has helped clients get into these companies:
I bring a wealth of experiences, having spent the past 3.5 years in both product adjacent and product management roles in Amazon’s Devices organization, working on Amazon’s first ever smart eyewear with Alexa. Not only did I secure a senior level promotion in less than a year on the team (L5 to L6), but also successfully transitioned into a post-MBA senior product management role without having an MBA. As a PM, I’ve gained deep expertise launching multiple software and hardware features which includes developing feature roadmaps, product strategy (PRFAQ’s), BRDs, customer insights analysis, and prioritization frameworks. I am passionate about helping aspiring product managers navigate their career paths and achieve their goals from breaking into the PM role, preparing for the unique interview style of big tech companies like Amazon, or writing a compelling promotion doc. Reach out to me today and let's discuss how I can support you in your product management journey!

About Jenai
I’m born and raised in Hawai’i, on the island of O’ahu. After graduating high school, I moved 5,000 miles to attend Harvard University where I studied Political Science. I’m a passionate dancer of over 10 years, having performed/competed on teams and groups across the country. I started my career as an HR Tech consultant, which included running my own consulting business. I spent the last 3.5 years as a Senior PM at Amazon and am currently at Stanford GSB pursuing my MBA.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I love getting the opportunity to use my knowledge and experiences to help others navigate their own careers and know first hand the immense benefit of having people in your corner helping you along the way. I am eternally grateful to the coaches and mentors I’ve had in my life - most recently as I navigated the MBA application process, which I could not have done it without the help of my coach (shout out Coach Candace) through the MLT program.
