You are your biggest product. My job is to help you land the PM role you want by packaging your story so companies can’t ignore you. I’ve coached 50+ candidates into PM offers at Google, Capital One, Persona, Palo Alto Networks, and other top companies by keeping coaching practical, collaborative, and brutally useful. I treat your goals like they’re mine and give feedback you can actually apply immediately. I’m currently a Product Manager at LinkedIn working on Premium Growth, and previously was a PM at HubSpot where I drove $75M+ in ARR after starting as an APM out of college and getting promoted in just over a year (a process that usually takes 2–3). Outside of work, I run @CareerParth with 6M+ TikTok views and have spoken at schools like Northwestern Kellogg and Pitt. People describe my sessions as focused, fun, and confidence-building—I make the PM job hunt feel a lot more winnable.

After hiring PMs into Amazon across Europe for 3 years, I then moved into a Head of Careers role at Oxford University's Said Business School specifically help people go the other way, and pivot their career into Product Management.

Across a number of European institutions, I have now helped over 100 students pivot into PM roles in Tech, Healthcare, Retail, Finance and many other sectors, focusing on the practical elements of CV writing, networking, and non-technical interview preparation.
