Former CS student turned Senior PM coaching APMs, students, & early PM
Hey hey hey! Today I’m a highly decorated Senior Product Manager at Salesforce, but I didn’t take the traditional path to get here. I started out as a computer science student fully expecting to become an engineer, until I realized I was far more interested in why we were building things than just how. I pivoted into product management without ever doing a PM internship, learned the role through trial, feedback, and repetition, and eventually earned a spot in Salesforce’s highly competitive Associate Product Manager (APM) program. That opportunity completely changed the trajectory of my career. Since then, I’ve led multiple 0 to 1 launches across AI, privacy, and data platforms in both large-scale and startup environments, which has given me a deep, practical understanding of how PMs actually succeed on the job. I’ve worked in situations where there was a clear roadmap and lots of support, and in situations where there was none at all. That range is what allows me to coach effectively. I know what it feels like to walk into ambiguity, make high-stakes decisions with imperfect information, and still be accountable for outcomes. As a coach, I translate those experiences into clear, actionable guidance for my clients. I help PMs learn how to break down messy problems, prioritize under pressure, communicate confidently with engineers and leaders, and build conviction in their decisions. Whether you’re launching your first product, navigating a fast-moving startup, or trying to level up in a large organization, I focus on building real PM instincts, not just interview answers. My goal is to help you develop the judgment, confidence, and execution muscle that actually make you successful once you’re in the role.
