James is a former L6 Senior Product Manager (AI/ML) with Amazon. His unique value add is that he successfully pivoted from Pre-sales -> Management Consulting -> Product Management. Therefore, he specializes in helping people cross over into Product from other fields (including Consulting, Sales, Engineering, Program, Marketing, Legal, Support, and Operations). He's interviewed 75+ PM candidates while with Amazon (bar raiser), been the hiring manager for 3 positions, 1:1 mentored 10+ PM's, and has coached over 100+ people. He finds joy in helping others crack their PM/consulting interviews and has had 5+ mentees land offers at FAANG companies in the last few months.

James helped with a take home assignment I was working on. He quickly reviewed my work and identified gaps, as well as grasped the key concepts around the industry that the company operates in. He is incredibly knowledge and insightful. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a seasoned product professional with a very good grasp on product sense and skills to take their interviews from good to great.

Working with James was the best decision I made for my ongoing process to switch from consulting to product. He was very thoughtful and put in the effort to understand how to effectively use the time we had. He was also very thorough and honest with his feedback which I really appreciated. His deep experience really showed in the wisdom he shared with me.
