INDIVIDUAL & TEAM COACHING
I coach emerging and seasoned product leaders and teams seeking to boost their impact, unlock their potential for advancement, and more effectively work with stakeholders. With 20+ years of global product leadership experience, I realized I enjoy launching people even more than launching products. I'm on a mission to amplify untapped voices. Together, we'll clarify your goals and create a path to achieve them.
PRODUCT CONSULTING & WORKSHOPS
Individuals in technology often prioritize others and organizational goals, neglecting their own growth. Investing in yourself and your team is crucial whether you're a new leader aiming to improve team dynamics or an experienced leader navigating organizational change. This investment fuels both individual growth and elevates team capabilities. Let's develop a program focused on your specific objectives.
Product Speaking Opportunities
How you lead your product team in a changing world requires knowing what to do and equally important, what not to do. I call upon my experience as a product executive to share why leadership presence could use a makeover and how to define a culture of curiosity. Previous conferences, podcasts, talks include Mind the Product, Product Management Association, Product Mastery Now, and Productized.
