What People Say

“I’ve never met anyone who understands the utterly vague role of the startup product manager more than Lisa. All of her advice has really helped clarify a path in my career.”
— Madeleine Lee (Head of Product)
“Lisa is an extremely detailed, attentive and supportive coach. As a mid-level Product Manager, I was looking for someone with deep product experience who worked in various-sized companies. Lisa helped me clarify areas to focus on in order to perform at a higher level. I highly recommend working with Lisa!”
— Yue Jiao (Product Manager)
“Lisa’s 0 to 1 Program for becoming PM #1 at a startup was exactly what I needed to build my self-confidence in this long and winding journey. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable, drawing on her various experiences as a Product Manager. She created content focused on the startup context, which I haven’t found to be the case with a lot of materials available online. She answered scenario-specific questions with key considerations and principles, rather than specific, prescriptive solutions. Lisa is very authentic and created an environment where knowledge-sharing and discussions are encouraged. Thank you for creating this program, Lisa!”
— Tiffany Chang (B2B Product Manager)
“When I met Lisa, I was immediately drawn into her ability to creatively solve complex problems. Lisa looks at the world differently in the best way possible; when most zig, Lisa zags.”
— Patrick Valoppi (Business Director)

My Why

Having spent years bringing new products from concept to market in new markets as a PM, I worked with some of the smartest humans on the planet, but I was seeing so much brain power being confined to tiny, siloed boxes.

I was seeing solutions being defined before the problems and who they affected were clearly understood. I was seeing decisions being made with a limited range of perspectives. I was seeing millions of dollars, time, energy, and resources being put into bandaid solutions that created more problems.

Often, we are asking the wrong questions. As a result, we are building products and focusing our resources on too many things that are making our lives worse.

So I left my job at Google to create Conscious Product Development, which empowers teams to develop meaningful products that have a measurable positive impact on our lives.

I act as a quarterback to create order out of chaos. I work with driven Product Managers and product leaders across domains to deeply understand problems to be solved. I provide coaching, rational tools, and principles to help individuals level up, and bring exceptional solutions to life in the process.

And I have fun doing it!
