When I look back over my career, I realize that all the most pivotal moments came about as a result of people giving me real, raw, and unfiltered advice, which allowed me to make the right decisions at the right time. For me, coaching is deeply personal. I come from a family that has founded several non-profit, educational organizations to help the masses in India. Because of this, I’m highly inclined to make a positive impact with whatever minimal knowledge I’ve obtained over the years.
Product management is a nuanced field that differs from company to company. However, the core tenets remain static and revolve around people, innovation, and communication. While seemingly straightforward, mastering these skills can take years. Through my coaching, I will share the things I’ve learned in my career and by working with some of the smartest people in the industry.
Let me help you become the top 1% product manager that you can be. Head to my profile to get started.

Hi! My name is Navneeth Ramprasad ("nuv-neath", "ram-pra-saadh") and I'm a Senior Product Manager working at Netflix at their corporate headquarters in Los Gatos, California. Before that, I was a Product Manager at Meta (fka Facebook Inc) for a few years. I have a background in Computer Science and Engineering, although I must admit that I've been a Product Manager for the majority of my professional career (except a small stint as an iOS application developer). For the past ~2 years, I have been deeply involved in coaching and mentoring technology professions to pivot into Product Management as a career option. So far, I've mentored more than 100+ people, both in groups and individually to kickstart their careers. You can schedule some time with me if you say "YES" to one or more of these questions: 1. I'm an upcoming new-grad and I want to start my career as a Product Manager. 2. I work in tech (engineer, sales, ops, design, etc) and want to pivot into product management. 3. I have absolutely no idea about product management but seems like an amalgamation of entrepreneurship, technology, and business communication. 4. I have an upcoming interview with one of the big companies (FAANG or others) and want help with mocks and prep. 5. I have an offer for a product manager and need help negotiating with my potential employer. 6. I'm an existing product manager and want to grow in my role as a senior/group product manager with more responsibilities. 7. I'm stuck/bored in my career and need help navigating new opportunities. 8. I'm on an international student/work visa and need help with moving forward with product management as a viable option. 9. I need help with my resume to attract potential employers for a product management opportunity. If you have anything else outside of these questions but is related to product management, please schedule an appointment. My experience is tailor-made to help you make the maximum $$$ salary and reach your complete potential in your career.
