Product Advising
I’m an advisor for growth-stage B2B SaaS & fintech startups.
I work with companies on a few areas:
- Implementing a product-led growth model
- Building and scaling product orgs
I blend my practical industry experience with an insights-based approach to solve for gaps in product leadership, and in effect, accelerating the startup’s growth journey.
For the past 9+ years, I’ve been building and growing products at top tech companies like Dropbox and Xendit across Silicon Valley & Southeast Asia.
Throughout this journey, I’ve led a 70-person product org with 11 reports, shipped 200+ experiments including 0-to-1 products, and helped build two $50M+ ARR businesses.

How I Can Help
I offer tailored product advising services for:
Founders / CEOs
You’re about to hire and/or recently hired a new head of product for your Series A/B/pre-IPO startup. S/he has a couple critical gaps that you want to solve in the next 3-6 months.
However, you have limited capacity and no one else on your team has the will and/or skill to help your new product leader.
As an advisor, I’ll step in to create a growth plan for your leader, provide a real-time feedback loop (including 360 feedback), and unblock their skills development faster. In result, you get clarity and confidence in accelerating your startup’s growth.
Head of Product / Team Lead
You’ve joined a new Series A/B/pre-IPO startup as head of product. Your founder or CEO immediately assigns you an important company-level goal that needs to be achieved in the next 3-6 months.
You’re feeling overwhelmed and all over the place, leading to your staff on the ground getting confused.
As an advisor, I’ll help coach you to understand your bottlenecks and friction points, prioritize the most important activities, and unblock you from leveling up yourself and your staff. In result, you’ll get clarity & confidence in fulfilling your mission-critical objective.
