I was fortunate enough to learn my craft from great product people, and to what has become an absolute joy of mine, I have tried to pay that forward by coaching the next generation of brilliant product managers. I have extensive experience coaching colleagues from zero product experience through to senior product managers aiming to move into leadership roles. At Tesco, I was involved in both the mentor and graduate schemes, taking on 6 colleagues from Associate Product Managers to Senior Product Managers. In addition to this, I also had line management responsibilities for 3 direct reports at a given time. Interested in becoming a mentor? Do get in touch!
A couple of colleagues have kindly given feedback on my coaching:
Jack has been an exceptional product coach, supporting me in becoming a successful product manager. This is solely because Jack consistently makes time for guidance, shares his knowledge, and ensures he empowers his team to excel, creating a genuine culture of trust. He was always available whenever needed. Jack's mentorship has truly been a cornerstone of my professional growth and development!
Jack has been a huge support in my recent transition into Product Management. As a mentor, he displayed his exceptional knowledge of Product Management theory, Experimentation and Discovery, able to communicate these complex concepts simply.He has continually made time to support me and helped my development as a PM.
