Hey there! I'm a Senior Product Manager at SoundCloud where I work on listener experience for over 170 million monthly users across web, iOS, and Android platforms.
I'm also a former General Assembly Product Management instructor where I taught courses in person to students in Manhattan. I'm on Udemy now because I loved my experience at GA and really enjoy teaching others about things I've learned.
I have consulted for various tech companies, and while in NYC was also a Product Manager at Bonobos - a web-focused retail clothing brand where I oversaw web and mobile properties that generated tens of millions in annual revenue through tens of thousands of customers.
Included in my knowledge is a lot of enterprise and a SaaS product management experience - I was an early product manager at Mass Relevance, a social API and data-focused enterprise marketing platformwhich was acquiredin 2014.

Much earlier in my career I spent over a year as a PM with an investor funded startup in Austin, TX focusing on driving traction for early stage companies where we had over 35,000 users. I moved to that position from an initial role as a web engineer.
My career in Product Management started after graduating from Babson College and becoming a technology consultant to several companies across the US for over 2 years. As a result, I am fortunate enough to have experience in product management that spans several industries and development models.

By Shahnawaz Akhtar on 11/7/2020

Quite detailed and sincere. I wish the Title of the course was something more polished. It sounds amateurish to me. ..like "get the job" etc don't sound that elegant

By Sreenivas Nagireddy on 11/7/2020

Very much helpful for beginners and professionals who want to transform their career in to Product management

By Elena Dexter on 10/24/2020

This is great! I like how the course is produced, the videos are short and tight, with no rambling and the guys are doing an awesome job of explaining concepts in a simple way.
For me, this course was about understanding the entire scope of product management, which the course is doing a great job of.

By Deirdre Rice on 10/24/2020

The course is good, it's better to use 1.5 speed to listen.
The voice of the guy is funny, he speaks like drama.

By Tina Bourt on 10/16/2020

Great course, great presenters and in-depth information. It was really pertinent to the Product Manager role.

By Bharat Mehta on 10/16/2020

I learned a lot about product management and how to become a product manager. To be honest, I didn't know what product management was in the first place. I now realised that my interests are in this field. I am a commerce student and I'll be keen on coding stuff. Due to cole, I can now focus on important programming stuff like python and MySQL. Because technical knowledge is also important to become a good product manager. Thanks for this course. It was very helpful and better than I expected.!!
