Bay Area, CA
Throughout my career, I have been driven by a deep alignment with my passions and a relentless pursuit of roles that allow me to leverage my strengths. As an introvert with a diverse background, I have harnessed the transformative power of servant leadership and authenticity, infusing these qualities into every facet of my work.
As a seasoned product leader, I have successfully incubated, built, and launched a diverse range of products. Beyond these achievements, I have played a pivotal role in shaping product functions, defining customer discovery practices, and establishing new functions and teams. Progressing through the ranks of product leadership, I have consistently championed customer needs, cultivated a positive culture, and supported the growth of individuals within organizations.
As an individual, I have faced and overcome hardships with grace. I have learned to integrate work and life, and I understand the art of achieving goals with unwavering determination and radical prioritization, all while being a fully involved sports Mom. The most successful years in my career coincided with homeschooling my son, giving me a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed and lead a fulfilling life.
What truly drives me is helping others thrive and unlock their true potential, even when they may be hesitant to pursue their aspirations. I have a unique ability to recognize strengths in others that they may not see in themselves. Drawing upon my lifelong journey of learning, I leverage my experiences to empower others on their own career paths.

John Billington
Linkedin
Boston, MA Suburbs
With a rich experience spanning more than 20 years in product management and marketing, my expertise lies at the crossroads of B2B SaaS and consumer product marketing. Most recently I was the Director of Product Management at Litmus, and I held Senior Product Manager roles at Yesware, iRobot, and Copyright Clearance Center. I led Brand Management & Product Marketing for PC and online games at publishers Ubisoft, Atari, and Sierra. I am also the founder of an early online streaming company, Bigradio.com. My journey has taken me through the realms of individual contributor roles as well as hiring, leading, and coaching Product Managers. My educational background includes an Engineering degree from the University of Virginia and an MBA from UC Berkeley.
My coaching philosophy is to empower you to unleash your full potential through introspection, skill development, and a commitment to personal growth. More details below:
Values and Beliefs:
Personal Growth through Reflection: I firmly believe that genuine personal growth is rooted in deep internal work. It is crucial to understand what drives you and what you tend to avoid.
Leveraging Strengths: Every individual possesses unique strengths. Focusing on honing these strengths is key to building confidence and a sense of self-efficacy.
Skill Development: While learning and skill development can be challenging, I believe that through deliberate practice and perseverance, anyone can excel and gain confidence in their chosen field.
Healthy Self-Comparison: Comparing oneself to others can be detrimental to self-esteem. Instead, it is more productive to compare your current self to your past, and concentrate on envisioning and working toward the person you aspire to be in the future.
Customer-Centric Product Management: Exceptional product management is underpinned by empathy for customers and the capacity to resonate with their needs and challenges.

Kristina Rettig
Linkedin
Los Angeles, CA
I’m an intensely user-focused and date-informed product leader with 8 years of product experience spanning ad tech, internal tools, and innovation products for the core app experience that have reached over 40M users. I have become a nimble strategic thinker across both B2B and B2C environments, and been able to use data to not only iterate on existing feature sets, but also think way outside of the box to delight users in new, unexpected ways. This is informed by a love of looking between the lines of both quantitative and qualitative data and aligning it with changing business objectives to inform product roadmaps. My operations background in the beginning of my career has made me especially adept at finding ways to unblock teams as well as execute large-scale projects with a multitude of stakeholders quickly and efficiently while building productive relationships within any organization.
Aiding Self-Awareness
We often need an objective ear when attempting to navigate challenging spaces, but we can often have blindspots to our true strengths and weaknesses. I can help you zoom out to reveal those blindspots so we can work together to turn weaknesses into strengths, and strengths into superpowers.
There’s No “Right” Way; Solutions to Fit YOU
No matter how many times someone tells you there is a right way to do a certain thing or overcome a certain hurdle, adjustments often have to be made for your specific personality, obstacles, and situation. Given my extensive experience across industries, roles, and organizational processes, I can help you navigate various situations that fit your specific situation, personality, and comfort zone.
Dare to Follow Your Curiosity
Non-linear paths aren’t the enemy, but it can be daunting to want to pivot into a new area where you have less experience. For those that are thinking about switching paths into product or pivoting between fields, I can offer valuable insights on what’s needed to make the switch and be a sounding board for any fears, concerns, or questions you have about the process along the way.
Battling Imposter Syndrome
If you suffer from Imposter Syndrome, letting the imposter reside in your mind will block you from progress. Changing your mindset to only let it be a temporary guest or “renter” in your head can let you recognize that it’s there, but not letting it take over your life and keeping you from being the leader you were meant to be. As someone who’s been there, I can help you navigate mental obstacles when the Imposter makes an unwelcome appearance.
