The quest to get ahead of AI is at best daunting, and at worst debilitating.

I wrote the book on stakeholder alignment and I can help your executive team align on a path forward.

I help executive teams make sense of this new AI world, and create the systems for their companies to make the right product investments.

Whether it’s through executive coaching, leadership offsites, or embedded fractional work, I can help you create the systems and strategy to propel your products into the world of AI.

I specialize in internal products: the tools and processes that enable your internal sales, marketing, and operations teams to deliver your “real” product.

Every company creates software these days, even if the product you sell to your end customers is something different, like pharmaceuticals, industrial equipment, sneakers, or insurance policies. And companies that create software need to be thinking about AI too. The same processes that help you create amazing customer-facing products can also be used to create internal products: setting goals, creating product strategy, measuring success. I can help you build that product muscle for your internal products.

If this sounds like your company…

I wrote a book!

Product management naturally incorporates empathy, psychology, and thinking outside the box in pursuit of the best design for products. But how often do you apply those same skills to your relationships with people in your company?

    Helen, Chief Product Officer

  • As I was reflecting on my job search, I kept thinking about how helpful and encouraging you were throughout the process—I truly appreciate all of your insights, advice, and support. It made a real difference, and I just wanted to say thank you.

     Alicia - Product Manager (recently started at a new company)

  • Melissa is thoughtful, responsive and genuinely cares to provide the appropriate level of guidance. She has been invaluable in helping me navigate the personality dynamics of a very small team. She excels at identifying my blind spots, particularly when I'm feeling overwhelmed, and helps me decouple my emotional responses by offering a fresh perspective each time.

    Eliana, Head of Product and startup founding member

  • Melissa is an absolutely great Product Coach. What’s special about her is that she thinks beyond Product Teams and their Products. Some adoption problems cannot be tackled with further product development and features. Melissa helped us realise that in order to achieve our goals we needed the whole company rallying with us.
