1995-2025: Microsoft, Principal PM Manager, Redmond

I'm a retired Microsoft Manager of PMs (M2) with 30 years’ experience building multibillion-dollar products and coaching talent from entry level to senior leaders. Over my tenure, including 8 years in Azure (where I also drove AI product innovation), I invested deeply in people, mentoring juniors, guiding mid-career growth, and coaching senior managers. My empathetic, clear, results-driven style helps you master interviews, navigate transitions, and advance your career journey with confidence.

Cristina was great to work with! She provided excellent coaching and helped me understand how to build a better pipeline by explaining how recruiters usually prioritize incoming applications. She also had great tips on storytelling during interviews, tailoring my applications to the needs of the business, and how to leverage connections to reach the hiring manager. Highly recommend!
