✅ Why invest in learning with me?I’m a Lead PM at Booking.com, and one of the first tech PMs there, with over 10 years in the field.Before moving into product, I was a Software Developer and earned a PhD in Computer Science. I’ve worked on both sides and know exactly what technical understanding PMs need - and don't.I'll teach you exactly what matters (and why) for driving products forward. You'll get the technical and AI-building fluency needed to drive your team, no coding, no database internals, no load balancers.✅ What can better technical understanding do for your career?From a survey of 650 PMs, 56% want to speak the same language as their engineers to communicate effectively, and build trust.61% want to estimate features on their own, so they can plan better and deliver on time.And today, technical understanding also lets you quickly AI-prototype features (43%) to show it to real users. In return, AI-building allows you to better understand Tech.Finally, if you want to land a Big Tech PM role, tech skills are critical.✅ What makes this course different?The course is 20% theory and 80% hands-on:&nbsp;you’ll do over 200 exercises / 8 projects, because that’s how real skills stick.

The technical understanding a successful PM needs - nothing more.

Cohort 1

Most PMs hit a ceiling not because they lack skills, but because they don’t yet speak the language of business. Companies don’t need more roadmap managers. They need product leaders who think in dollars, not just features — and who can influence executives under real pressure. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: no one teaches PMs how to become that kind of leader. Not your boss. Not your company. Not free content. So PMs try to “be more strategic,” but their strategy gets reduced to a backlog, rejected by finance, or ignored by executives who don’t yet trust their judgment.You deserve better than that.This course gives you the same strategic operating system used by real product executives - grounded in strategy, financial clarity, and narrative influence. You’ll learn how to read the business, shape direction, justify priorities with ROI, align GTM and engineering, and communicate in the language CEOs and CFOs actually listen to.By the end, you won’t just sound strategic. You’ll think, act, and lead like the product executive you’re ready to become - with an executive-ready strategic plan to prove it.
