I have over twenty years of experience in product and leadership at high-growth companies in a variety of industries, with more than ten years at Google and Facebook, plus time at early-stage organisations including as founder of a VC-funded start-up.
I started coaching in 2016 and since 2019 it has been my full focus. My clients include Google, Adobe, Tesla, Intuit, Unity and several start-ups.
My background gives me an insider’s view of product and engineering; I am also open to coaching people in other areas.
Additionally I work as an interview coach to help those seeking PM roles improve their interview skills and maximise their chances of success. I'm a calibrated Google and Facebook interviewer, having conducted hundreds of interviews at both companies. In the past year I have helped >70 candidates prepare for a wide range of roles.
I offer a free 15 minute intro call to prospective clients so we can understand if working together might be a good fit.
“Robert guided me to identify what my real goals were — I’d been feeling stuck for a while and this got me moving again. After that, his thoughtful coaching really helped me to overcome obstacles and make progress. I was able to have more impact at work because he helped me to find the right path for me." — Product Manager, Facebook
"Every piece of advice he has given me has been tailored to my exact situation and needs. While he has helped me become a better product leader, what I have found most valuable is how he helped me gain the confidence to advocate for myself." — Senior Product Manager, Waitr
"Working with Robert has been invaluable. He helped me adjust to my role as VP of Product at a fast-growing start--up, normalizing challenges I faced and sharing valuable tools he picked up from his time at Facebook and other high-growth start-ups. Through my work with Robert, I've been able to view challenges and opportunities more objectively, which has given me an edge against my peers. In addition to noticeable improvement in my efficacy day to day, Robert has been a true thought partner when it comes to my career more broadly, holding me accountable for setting and tracking towards longer term goals." VP Product, Healthcare start-up
