About

I'm Akila, Head of Product at Gateway AI, managing the PM, Design, and Customer Success teams. I was previously Product Lead at Meta, where I interviewed 200+ L3-L8 PM candidates over 8 years.

Prior to Meta, I was in the Oil and Gas industry. I know what it is like to be an outsider, trying to break into Tech/ Product Management. I'm most helpful if you're transitioning to Tech from an unconventional background, trying to grow in your PM career, or looking to become a people manager.

I've contributed to the following IGotAnOffer articles:

Interview coaching · Product sense mock interview
Akila was great to work with. I came to the meeting with a specific agenda around my ongoing interview process with Meta. Akila was patient throughout with all my questions. She provided clear feedback on specific aspects of the product sense interview, and was incredibly helpful with tying every piece of her feedback back to Meta's interview rubric and bar. Akila's thoughtful feedback helped me approach my interview with more confidence and less self-doubt which can be so critical to interviewing :) I would recommend Akila to anyone looking to up their Big Tech interview game.

I asked for product sense mock interviews, and Akila provided very specific, actionable feedback on how I could improve my communication while going through my framework and answering questions.

I did an Analytical Thinking practice rep with Akila a few days before my actual loop, and she was amazing to work with. Great vibe, clear and actionable feedback. I’d highly recommend her.
