David Wang (Product Dave)

20+ Yrs PM Leader | 5K Students | Helped 300+ students get into Big Tech and Unicorn Startups PMs

In 2023, I left Australia for the US tech market with no network, no job offers, and no contacts. Six months later, I landed my first US role and interviewed at Meta, Amazon, Kajabi, Substack and other top tech companies.


That's my speciality: I help people break into Product Managements. Till date, I've taught 5000+ students across 30+ countries & 300+ transformations.


I don't teach from the sidelines. I'm a practising Product Manager with 20+ years of experience. Everything I teach is tested and validated from hundreds of books and courses that don't work.


I'm new to Maven, but I'm not new to teaching. I've taught at General Assembly, Melbourne Business School, & Harvard Innovation Labs in past 8+ years. I also run www.ProductAcademy.io with 4.8 stars on TrustPilot


I restarted my career again to prove that what I teach is a repeatable system that works no matter where you are.
