About me
Hey there! I’m Cole — a passionate educator and product management consultant with over 250,000 students worldwide.
Since discovering my love for teaching in 2015, I’ve been fortunate to teach thousands of learners through platforms like Skillify and LinkedIn Learning, earning recognition as a top-rated instructor on both.
I currently run my own consultancy, advising clients — including organizations with up to 5,000 employees — on product strategy, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.
Previously, I served as VP and Head of Product at Semrush Academy, a publicly traded company with over 1,000 employees. Before that, I was a Senior Product Manager at SoundCloud, where I led efforts to improve the listening experience for 170+ million users across web, iOS, and Android platforms.
My journey also includes teaching in-person Product Management courses at General Assembly in Manhattan, an experience that sparked my desire to bring practical, real-world product knowledge to a broader audience online.
Earlier in my career, I was a Product Manager at Bonobos, managing web and mobile experiences that drove tens of millions in annual revenue. I also led product efforts at Mass Relevance, a social data and enterprise marketing platform acquired in 2014.
I began my career as a technology consultant after graduating from Babson College and quickly transitioned into Product Management, working with early-stage startups, large-scale SaaS platforms, and everything in between.
What I bring to the table:
Deep, real-world product management expertise
A learner-first approach to teaching
A passion for making complex topics simple, clear, and actionable
Join me on Skillify, and let’s level up your skills together.
