Corporate Product Leadership Coaching
The best teams have a coach who empowers and motivates them. I partner with companies to transform the way their teams build product by focusing on delivering value for their customers and driving meaningful business results.
If you've landed here, the chances are this is the current state of product in your company...
Unstoppable requests from stakeholders with many features to build
Pressure from the organization to deliver features by a certain timeframe (that always feels and is impossible)
You know talking to customers and getting real customer feedback is imperative, but it feels impossible due to how your organization is set up
You want your teams to be empowered to solve customer problems that drive business results, and you know the theory, but implementing it in your context feels nearly impossible
You don't want to make mistakes and keep trying things that make sense in theory but end up failing in practice
If you're reading this and wondering if i'm a mysterious "off camera" member in your zoom calls... don't worry, i'm not!
I have helped many companies with the exact same problems.
I know it might feel impossible or there's sometimes this temptation to figure this out yourself, or that books, trainings and conferences will do.
It's not impossible and you don't have to do it alone!
Every company is unique and so are your stakeholders, products, and direct reports so you need an approach that is unique too.
I've been there and done this multiple times with successful product companies.
I got you!

“When learning product, everything depends on the knowledge and experience of the person you're learning from. Too many people don't get the benefit of learning from someone with strong product experience, so they never get to see what good looks like. Gabi knows.”

What my clients say about working with me
Gabi's product coaching has greatly impacted my leadership and team growth. Her warm personality and keen product sense deliver valuable insights, fostering trust and informed decisions. Her coaching enhances empathy, self-awareness, and adaptability in my leadership, significantly boosting my team's performance. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabi to anyone aiming to elevate their leadership and build thriving teams.
Nate Hyland,
Director of Product at Broad Institue of MIT and Harvard
Before Gabi's involvement, we had pockets of strong delivery practices but lacked a consistent approach to building great products. Her coaching standardized our product teams and roles, empowering them to excel. She guided us in implementing strong product vision, strategy, discovery, and delivery principles, creating an environment where teams thrive and are accountable for outcomes. Gabi efficiently drove transformation, leveraging momentum to navigate change swiftly. We can’t recommend Gabi enough and the results speak for themselves.
