Product Coaching and Mentoring

Hey there! 👋

I'm Max, a product leader with over a decade of product management experience. I have extensive experience in both large corporations and startups, developing a unique skill set for utilising product tools and methodologies based on context and business goals.

I've successfully managed and grown multiple product teams, fostering a culture centered on experimentation and growth.

As the Head of Product at Backpocket, over the last 2+ years, I successfully launched a new payment method that is growing 50% MoM despite the challenges of the B2B2C space and competition with well-known brands like PayPal and Afterpay.

I'm a Product Coach @ Folklore VC. Additionally, I have been mentoring product managers at Startmate for over 2 years, helping them achieve their goals and grow into product leaders.

Whether your goal is to get into product management, land a new job, or simply learn a new skill, I can help you get there quicker, saving you time.

What is Product Management?

Product management is an organisational function that directs each stage of the lifecycle of a product by putting the customer and the product first. Additionally, product managers assist in market analytics efforts by providing key insights that inform future product development.

Product managers oversee the creation and distribution of products, facilitating their full life cycle and keeping internal development processes focused and efficient. To build a competitive product, product managers advocate for customers within the organisation and make sure the voice of the market is heard and heeded.
