Product Leader Accelerator

CPOs and VPs of Product know what good looks like. However, they are setting strategy, building organizations, and carrying the full weight of executive leadership. Coaching their PMs and Directors is rarely something they have the bandwidth to do, even when they recognize the need.

"At Juniper Networks, as the CTO, I also incubated new products and worked with business leaders across the company. When we incubated a new idea or invested in an NPI (New Product Introduction), I always told my team that any new product idea has to start with GTM, not after the fact. That's a discipline most product managers don't have. When I nominated one of our Principal PMs for coaching with Rahul, that's exactly the gap I wanted closed. Six months later, the PM is bringing up GTM questions before I have to. Rahul up-leveled their thinking and allowed the PM to be credible with Marketing and Sales leaders.

I have been highly impressed with Rahul as an original thinker and strategist as I have engaged with him over the years. I recommend him highly!!"

There is no shortage of advice for Product Leaders. Applying it to their specific situation is a different matter. They are navigating the hard parts: the transition from individual contributor to cross-functional leader, sharpening Product & GTM thinking, building business fluency, or accelerating their career. They don't need another generic training or workshop. They need a coach with real operator experience who knows what the work actually looks like for them.

I work 1:1 with a small number of PMs, Directors, and Product Leaders. The work is entirely tailored to your situation: your product, your organization, your decisions. Because I keep my client list small, we can go deep. I co-founded the Institute of Product Leadership, training and coaching over 1,000 product leaders inside organizations including ADP, CA, Microsoft, Neustar, and VMware. That depth of experience informs every engagement.

"My CTO nominated me to work with Rahul. I knew how to build product but had no real framework for taking it to market. The internal debates about pricing, positioning, and channel were going nowhere. Rahul reframed how I think about go-to-market, not as a launch checklist but as a system connecting positioning directly to sales motion. Every session ended with a concrete decision. Six months later, we've hit our targets and our sales team has a GTM motion they trust."

The impact extends across the organization. The organization benefits from sharper product decisions, stronger cross-functional alignment, and a leader who can operate with greater independence. For the CPO or VP who nominates a member of their team, it is an investment worth making, and it shows up in the work quickly.

"Rahul showed me a fundamentally different way to approach product decisions. I came away with a clear prioritization framework directly tied to GTM strategy, and that alignment is now making every roadmap conversation feel sharper and more purpose-driven. If you're a product leader looking to operate with greater clarity and strategic intent, I'd highly recommend working with Rahul without hesitation."

Start with a conversation.

I offer a short introductory conversation to understand your situation and whether this is a good fit.
