Any other interesting topic in mind?
Please feel free to reach out if you feel like we can work together on any other exciting topic which is not fully covered or named above. As roles and scopes change quite rapidly and lines in between them get blurry nowadays, I am more than happy to discuss any adjacent and relevant opportunity (e.g. Service Design, Program Management) based on my background, experience and interest.
Testimonials
“Aybala is an amazing coach. From her very first response, she genuinely cared and guided me through the process. She went above and beyond both during sessions and after to make sure I was on track. Her personal method helped me clarify questions about my career trajectory, and her expertise in product management within large organizations gave me valuable insights. I recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to be more intentional about their career.”
Taylan P.
Group Product Manager
“I reached out to Aybala when I was in the early stages of applying for my first full time PM position. The conversations we had were incredibly helpful in giving me a clearer picture of the requirements and challenges of the position of a PM. She continued to support me during the interviewing phase and it was great to discuss pro and cons with her based on her experiences. She was one of the first to congratulate me on scoring my first position as a Product Owner in a B2B SaaS company. I feel lucky to have her as a mentor! She’s a great person to talk to and I always come away from our conversations feeling empowered and motivated.”
Justus V.
Product Manager
“I feel so energized and enlightened after my first session Aybala! I’ve just moved into a new Product Ops role after years in Product Management and she was helping me navigate how to implement Product Ops at my company. She took the time to give me real life examples of her challenges and was so friendly! I am happy to say I will lean on her as often as I can – she is a wealth of resources.”
Xolisa M.
Product Owner
“Aybala helped me tremendously in planning the next steps to make my way into product management! She helped me identify which of my existing expertise I could already leverage and which skills would be useful to deepen my knowledge in. Combining her extensive product knowledge and unique perspective, she provides highly valuable recommendations. On top of all these, her friendly approach makes it so much fun to engage, collaborate and work together.”
