Your course was the stepping stone for me
to build a framework for approaching Product
Management in a structured and repeatable
way. Since relocating to Silicon Valley I’ve been
promoted several times, launched a few
products, worked with some of the biggest
companies in the world, and even received a
patent. I thank you and your team for helping
me take those first steps.
