Product Management Coaching

Your own Product Management Coach, someone who takes your success at heart and helps anticipate, prepare for, and handle, the most daunting product management challenges.

Your coach

Cyril Le Roux has over 20 years of experience in product management. He worked his way up from Product Manager to VP of Product Management and worked in enterprises, scale-ups, and startups across FinTech, eCommerce, and Marketplaces. In the last few years, he reinvented the Zoopla App, launched a marketplace for tradespeople and drove the introduction of a banking app.

He is bilingual in French 🇫🇷 and English 🇬🇧, and regularly teaches product management classes which puts him in the unique position of having a working knowledge of a broad range of models that apply to strategy, innovation, pricing, stakeholder management and many more. He has, to date, helped dozens of product people improve their performance.

Why use a Product Management Coach?

Product Management is hard! Not our words, but Marty Cagan’s, author and co-author of books like INSPIRED and EMPOWERED, that count among some of the most important books on modern product management. Success requires the mastery of 3 very different areas:

Expertise in their industry and have a deep understanding of their product.
Strong leadership skills to defend the product strategy and convince senior stakeholders to support it.
Techniques to understand customers, create innovative concepts, and translate them into requirements that are usable to the technical team.

Mastering all three areas of product management doesn’t happen by chance. It requires a relentless pursuit of excellence and ongoing investment in self-development. Regular sessions with your product coach will give you strategies and insights to tackle the most challenging situations.

The guidance I got from [Cyril] allowed me to establish critical relationships with C-Suite and broader Leadership members, creating trust and radical honesty. Secondly, he helped me build a true cross-functional team where stakeholders finally felt heard, involved, informed, and, most importantly, focused.

What they have to say about it

Cross-functional collaboration in our company did not come natural. Cyril helped us change that. Be it product all-hands meeting, or 1:1 - I've learned a lot from Cyril how to break our siloes. And how to make complex initiatives with many stakeholders work. These are the things you won't learn from tutorials. Coaching however made a real difference.

Cyril always encouraged me to challenge myself and the environment, motivated to self-reflect and always stayed positive, passionate and ambitious, which inspired others. Cyril was always there to support me and helped me build my self esteem to eventually take the next step in my career.

Cyril was my coach on a final project to be delivered in 2 weeks. A fast pace that can quickly make you lose your footing. Cyril allowed me to take a step back, to regain confidence because he knows how to find the right words, guide, encourage with kindness and share his experience with humility!

Cyril's exceptional product management knowledge and focus on my PM skills development helped me to build strong background for the career. Stakeholders management, focus on outcomes over outputs and make sure that I make my work progress and results visible - these are only few areas of them all that Cyril helped me to develop and improve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does each session last?

Sessions are approximately 1 hour long.

How often are the sessions scheduled?

Sessions can happen weekly at the beginning but should rapidly move to fortnightly to give enough time to experiment with various strategies.

Is there a minimum commitment?

No, you can stop at anytime.

How many sessions will I need?

Unlike other types of relationships, a successful coach will make you no longer need them (as a coach, we still be friends!) as quickly as possible. It could run over the course of 6 to 12 months, or even longer if your career is moving quickly and you keep facing completely new challenges regularly.

Are the sessions face to face or online?

We can provide face-to-face sessions on your company’s premises in London for corporate groups of 3 individuals or more. However, our default method of delivery is via video conference software.

What is a typical session like?

You start by explaining the situation that you want us to explore together. Your coach will then ask some clarifying questions and then move to more thought-provoking ones.
