Make the Leap to Executive Product Leadership
Sandy Huang
former VP of Product | ex-Amazon
Being a great product leader isn't enough.
Here's what actually gets you to the executive level.
A 2-hour workshop for Senior PMs, Principal PMs, Group PMs, and Directors who are performing well, but still getting passed over or feel stuck. Learn how to think, operate, and show up like an executive so that you can get to the next level.
You can be an exceptional product leader and still not be seen as ready for executive leadership. The skills that made you a great product leader stop being the thing that moves you up. The difference isn’t just experience or scope. It’s how you think, operate, and show up.
Many high-performers waste years running in place or never figure this out until it's too late. And with constant layoffs, reorgs, and AI disruption, the path to the executive level is more competitive than ever.
I've spent over 20 years in product on both sides of this equation, as a former VP of Product, and as a coach who's guided dozens of product leaders through this exact transition. This workshop is the distillation of what I've seen actually work and what to do about it now.
