Experience level: Product Manager

I have 9+ years in Product Management experience at companies such as eBay, Expedia and Adobe.

About Carol
Hello! I'm excited to assist you on your Product Management journey. I've been coaching students and professionals for over 5 years in success with their Product Management job searches - resumes, interviewing, etc, specializing in helping candidates with technical backgrounds craft their resumes and interview skills for PM roles at FAANG and similar companies. I studied Computer Science at Stanford University, then worked for 20+ years in software engineering and product management at Silicon Valley tech brands such as eBay, Expedia and Adobe. In that time, I weathered two significant economic downturns in 2001 and 2008 - gone through layoffs, transitions, etc. I've been through the ups and downs of the industry and am here to help you prepare for Product Management interviews and succeed in the role and beyond. In addition to my industry experience, I am also the CEO of my own startup, ConciergeBot, and have also work part-time as a Coach for Management Leadership for Tomorrow, where I work with college students on interviewing for Product Management internships and full-time jobs,. I am excited to provide my services to the greater community through Leland. I look forward to working with you!
Why do I coach?
