Amanda’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Product Manager
10+ people coached for Product Management
With 8+ years in product management at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and Discord, I’ve navigated the tech industry as a non-technical, consumer-focused PM. My career path wasn’t straightforward—I started with a non-technical background and had to figure out how to align my work with my values and strengths. Having broken into tech, pivoted across industries, and leveled up into senior roles, I know what it takes to stand out in interviews and excel on the job. I've built a career that works for me, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same—whether you're pivoting into PM or leveling up in your current career. I’m here to guide you through the process and help you build a career that truly fits you. Let’s make it happen and have fun along the way!

About Amanda
I’ve spent 8+ years building products at companies like Discord, Xbox, Microsoft, Amazon, and Mailchimp—focusing on growth, engagement, and making things people actually love to use. What keeps me excited about tech is how it brings people together—whether it’s through social platforms, niche communities, or tools that help small businesses thrive. I love working on products that make everyday interactions more meaningful and help people feel more connected.
Why do I coach?
Breaking into tech or leveling up in product management can feel overwhelming—like there’s some secret playbook no one shared with you. I’ve been there, and I know how much it helps to have someone who can break things down and guide you through the process. I coach because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot at opportunities that align with their skills and ambitions (no gatekeeping here!) Whether you're trying to get into tech, land your first PM role, or take your career to the next level, I’m here to help you craft your story and present the best version of yourself. Let’s make it happen together!
