Testimonials

I have only been working with Josh for a few months now, but it already shows that he is a great coach and sparring partner to have on one's side. He is quick at understanding complex situations and digesting what is important. He helped me early on to clearly identify issues and opportunities to improve. Our conversations are open, honest, down-to-earth, and his advice is pragmatic and concrete. Josh also doesn't shy away from going an extra mile to support me on my journey.

Josh's value extends far beyond product management: from coaching me through a touchy termination process, to establishing an OKR protocol that aligned our activity with our strategic goals, to developing a robust job description and participating in interviewing and onboarding a new Head of Product. He is pure gold, and I could not have navigated this transition as smoothly without his help and engagement. He was committed to my success and as such became a valued confidant and partner

Josh's mentorship, coaching and advice over the last decade has been instrumental in my development as a product leader and human being. His approachability and ability to provide critical feedback - without making it feel critical - has always motivated me to apply his guidance and actionable suggestions with enthusiasm. Because of his experience as an executive at early and growth stage tech companies, his product-specific (and more general) guidance was always a combination of both what I needed at the time and what I needed to think about moving forward. I will always be grateful for our conversations and relationship.

Time and again, the coaching and mentorship that Josh provided helped me separate the signal from the noise.
