Hiring Manager & ICF Coach | GenAI at Meta, ex-Coursera, AI+SaaS startups
Hi, I’m a product leader, hiring manager, and ICF-trained coach passionate about helping experienced PMs and product owners unlock their full potential and maximize impact. While I enjoy meeting clients from all backgrounds, folks who typically reach out to me are: • Product owners who wear multiple hats in a start-up environment and/or are challenged by complex PMF problems • Experienced PMs who have led impactful product initiatives but struggled to showcase their best selves in job search • Mid-career PMs who are looking for opportunities to level up to staff/principal PMs, or cross the chasm to people manager roles Why I’m Qualified to Coach: 🔮 Hiring Manager and Promo Committee Experience: I’ve interviewed 500+ candidates and designed PM hiring processes for both public companies and startups, offering you insider knowledge of what hiring managers look for. I've also sat on the promo committee, know how the promo conversation goes behind the scenes, and helped multiple PMs get the career advancement that they deserve. 📈 Proven Product Leadership: I’ve launched multiple 0-to-1 products at Coursera. Before Coursera, I led Product & Design at VC-backed AI SaaS startups with a successful exit. In my peer's words, "She rose through the ranks from Senior PM to GPM, leading some of the company’s biggest and most strategic projects. On top of that, she mentored multiple PMs who went on to become fast risers themselves". 💙 Diverse Career Background: I was Head of Product at startups, management consultant, angel investor, and non-profit executive. This gives me a holistic perspective on how to navigate career decisions based on one's values vs FOMO. 🙌 Actionable Coaching Approach: As an ICF-trained coach with 100+ coaching hours, I focus on deeply listening, asking thoughtful questions, and providing structured, action-oriented guidance. My coaching combines empathy, structure, and practical tools to deliver results-driven support. Whether you’re preparing for your next leadership role or solving complex product challenges in a corporate or startup setting, I’m here to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and align your career with your values. *NOTE: Due to capacity constraints, I’m unable to support aspiring PMs without professional experience at this time. However, I’d be happy to refer you to other amazing coaches on Leland!
