Current Availability: 

Thank you for your interest in working with me. Here's what I'm currently available for:

1:1 coaching
The next available slots for individual coaching will open in September 2026. If you're interested, feel free to reach out so we can explore fit and timing.

Corporate coaching
New corporate coaching engagements from September onward are possible, whether you're a small group of product leaders looking for focused support or a larger product organization aiming to scale coaching across teams.

Product Leadership Wheel rollouts
I'm currently supporting one organization in rolling out the Product Leadership Wheel and have capacity to take on one or two additional clients. If this has been on your mind, now is a good time to start the conversation.

Talks and book clubs
I'm also available for corporate talks and continue to offer book clubs for leadership groups.

Structured, self-paced support
Even when my 1:1 capacity is limited, you can work with me through my Product Leadership email course, From STRONG to Exceptional - a 52-week journey designed to help product leaders grow with intention.

If you want to explore working together, you can find all options here: Work with me.

Last Update: 17.06.2026

Things I'm currently doing:

1:1 Coaching & Corporate Engagements - I'm currently supporting individual product leaders through 1:1 coaching, including a new engagement with a Head of Product navigating a multi-product portfolio, whom I met at the Product at Heart Leadership Event.
On the corporate side, my work with the leadership team at ING Bank is wrapping up, though I'm continuing with them on the product operations side. I also recently wrapped a team coaching engagement with RQI Partners (a joint venture between the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical focused on improving resuscitation quality and CPR training for healthcare professionals) - that team is now standing on its own feet.
One recent highlight: I ran a very lively Ask Me Anything session on leading with influence in Reykjavik.

From STRONG to Exceptional (Email Course) - The majority of my writing time lately has been dedicated to the leadership course. It launched in September 2025, and I'm continuing to develop new material. We've also started running regular Live Q&A sessions for participants - connecting with them in real time has been one of the most rewarding parts of the course so far.

Product at Heart 2026 - Arne and I have been busy curating our two Product at Heart events this year: The Leadership Event took place in April, with a new, fuller one-and-a-half-day format (a real step up from the half-day version we ran in previous years). Next up is the Conference on June 25-26 in Hamburg: four keynotes plus two session themes - "what changes (in times of AI)," and "what remains the same (in our product management craft)." The program is juicy. We still have a few tickets left for the workshops on Thursday, the day before the conference.

Speaking & Events - Earlier this year I attended the MENA Product Summit in Cairo, where I ran my first-ever live PLwheel workshop and gave a talk on managing up. I also attended the World Beautiful Business Forum in Athens, and PT Cologne, where I spoke on "How to Prepare Myself to Become a Product Leader - Skills You Can Practice Today to Become a Leader Tomorrow."
In July I'm facilitating a session on roadmapping, strategy, and OKRs for a product leadership accelerator, plus running an internal session with a product team. Looking further ahead, I'll be at WaysConf in Krakow in September - a 1,500+ attendee conference bringing together product, design, and research professionals - the Inspire Africa Conference in Lagos in October, and the /POWorld Barcamp in Osnabrück in November.

Product Leadership Wheel (PLwheel) - I'm using the PLwheel with 100% of my 1:1 coachees, and they all find it very helpful. In April, I ran another PLwheel workshop at the Product at Heart Leadership Event. I'm also exploring making the PLwheel available to other product leadership coaches so they can use it with their own clients. Early days - stay tuned.

Books - I continue to promote both STRONG Product People and STRONG Product Communities across multiple languages and formats.

Podcast - I'm co-hosting All Things Product with Teresa Torres, and we've now released over 50 episodes. The podcast also has its own home on my website now. We'll continue to record - there's no shortage of things to talk about in the product world.

AI Exploration - My Claude Code setup has become pretty sophisticated, and I now use it across multiple machines with my executive assistant. One recent project I'm proud of: when Harvest, my long-time invoicing tool, was acquired with a price hike on the horizon, I built my own replacement - lead pipeline, estimates, invoicing, and client tracking, all tailored to how I work. I also joined the working group behind the Makers Manifesto, a set of principles for making great products in an AI-driven world. Beyond the tooling, I'm having a plethora of conversations with fellow product coaches and leaders about how the role of product management is changing, and I'm starting to see solid patterns - a content piece on that is in the works.

NurtrTech - As co-founder of NurtrTech, I'm focused on angel investing in AgriTech and sustainable food system startups. We're currently in due diligence with some promising startups - exciting times ahead.

Personal - My main priority is spending quality time with my daughter, including as much time close to the ocean as possible. She started exploring wing foiling with me last autumn, and that's become a mother-daughter adventure we'll keep going. For myself, I want to spend more time in and on the ocean too - whether that's kite surfing (I was in Egypt in February) or enjoying the spring, summer, and autumn season here at home on the Baltic Sea. Staying healthy is a core priority as well - I'm continuing my gym and weightlifting journey.

MY NOT-TO-DO LIST:

  • Coaching for IC-level PMs.

  • Coaching for aspiring Product Coaches. If that's you, here's a blog post where I share some insights.

  • I'm not offering training in any form.

  • Non-client meetings: If you don't belong one of the groups mentioned above and want to pick my brain, that's perfectly fine. But you are one of many people asking for this one particular thing. So I can't usually answer these requests unless you book a coaching call. Which is possible :-) Just get in touch, and let's see if we can find a slot in my calendar.

THE IDEA

What's this /now-page thing? It's a movement started by Derek Sivers, and I just liked the idea. He put it best: "It's a nice reminder for myself, when I'm feeling unfocused. A public declaration of priorities. (If I'm doing something that's not on my list, is it something I want to add, or something I want to stop?) It helps me say no, too."
