Course overview
Move to a more strategic approach to Product Operations
You’re great at getting stuff done, but what happens when you don't understand the "why" behind the work?
Many of us in Product Operations are asked to run processes, manage tools, and wrangle data without the full context of a product organization.
This course is for those who want to become an invaluable strategic partner. Over four weeks, you will not just learn. You will do. We’ll bridge the gap between your operational skills and the strategic mindset needed to truly thrive in your role.
Who is this course for
01
The New Product Ops Hire. Just landed the role but lacks the product background. They need to learn the language and frameworks to succeed.
02
The Accidental Product Ops Manager. Great at getting things done but feels disconnected from the "why." They want to drive real impact.
03
The Ops Pro in Transition. Comes from project management or a similar field. They want to master the unique mindset of a product-led org.

Hugo Froes
My professional goal is to empower teams to make smarter, faster decisions. I started in hands-on UX and service design roles, but soon learned that even the best products fail without a strong operational foundation. This realization led me to focus on creating clear strategy and streamlined operations. My experience includes guiding companies through major transformations, implementing OKR frameworks, and building data-driven systems that have resulted in significant operational efficiencies and savings. I believe in empowering teams with the clarity and flexibility they need to do their best work.
