My mentorship philosophy
I transitioned from McKinsey to tech PM 12 years ago and wished I had someone to guide me through the journey. My approach is direct—I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. But I'm deeply invested in seeing you succeed. I believe in setting ambitious goals and breaking them into tactical weekly actions.

I'm looking for mentees who
Are self-motivated and committed to putting in the work between sessions. I prefer working with people making the leap from consulting, banking, or analyst roles into PM. You should have a specific goal (e.g., "land PM role at Series B+ startup by Q2") and be willing to iterate on your approach based on feedback.
Recent success story
Just wrapped up with Maya, who went from Senior Business Analyst at Capital One to APM at Notion. It took 5 months of portfolio work, mock interviews every week, and dozens of applications. She got 3 offers and negotiated her way to $165K base + equity. Couldn't be prouder!
What to expect in our first meeting
We'll spend the first 30 min on your background and goals, then I'll give you honest feedback on your positioning. I'll share what worked for people in similar situations and we'll map out a 6-month plan with specific milestones. You'll leave with 3-5 action items for the next two weeks.
