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.

Andrew Skotzko
Linkedin
Los Angeles, CA
For 15 years, I’ve been building teams and products used by 80M+ consumers and thousands of B2B customers.
I’ve worked at all company stages, from early startups to the Fortune 100, and in both B2B + B2C.
I’ve worked in spaces ranging from consumer web, hardware, decentralized communities, open-source, developer tools, mental health, human performance, agriculture, and ocean science.
In addition to the product craft, I’m a lifelong student of what makes people tick and how products help them thrive (or fail to). I’ve had a serious meditation practice for over a decade, and have extensively studied cognitive science, behavioral science, and organizational dynamics in both applied and formal contexts.
If you aren’t willing to explore the inner game—all the stuff that’s hard to copy/paste—that will be the glass ceiling on your craft. The outer game (tactics, etc) is much simpler and easier to learn. Gotta have both.
I live at the intersection of product coaching & exec coaching. What that means is that the domain is product, and the craft is product, but I also aim to support and challenge the whole person to grow.
I also push hard for rigorous, connected thinking that connects all levels and systems in the org (head), as well as cultural and relational practices that set each person up to be a champion in their role (heart).

Anywhere in the Americas is easy. Europe possible, but takes more coordination.
(1) Senior PMs through Head of Product
(2) Founder responsible for product—especially if they don’t have a strong product background
Committed, thoughtful, self-aware, open to exploring how their inner game & mindset shapes their outer game.

Nidhi Wadmark
Linkedin
Bay Area, CA
Over the years I’ve built products in multiple domains, Some products are in use by 400M+ customers and 30M+ small & medium-sized businesses, globally. I’ve designed an internal product management academy for globally distributed product managers and founded internal and external product communities.
My career journey in the US commenced as a flight attendant, took me onward to the US Central Banking and the fintech space from where I propelled forward to Capital Markets > Management Consulting > Healthcare > and then FinTech. All of them in the product management space where my laser focus has been easing and improving the customer experience. Leading a global employee resource group (ERG) pillar on disability inclusion, proposing iSponsorHer, an initiative to bring more women into product leadership roles (got a mention in HBR), and presenting Baby Box for every newborn at a healthcare company, remain my most treasured accolades. These initiatives have both helped me find a part of myself and put me on the path to being a kinder and more supportive human being, and not just within the business and work realm.
I believe life is too short to build bad products, services or teams.
I am committed to being your powerful asset and force multiplier, empowering you to not only succeed but thrive in achieving your goals.
I approach our coaching relationship as a collaborative and equal endeavor. As partners, I bring a wealth of knowledge from diverse domains, along with Shreyas’ frameworks and unwavering accountability.

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.
