Without the Pivot Plan
❌ You’re stuck in execution mode – doing great work that no one seems to value
❌ You apply to hundreds of jobs online you think you’d be great at – but you rarely hear back
❌ You make it through multiple interview rounds – only to get ghosted or rejected and have to start all over again
❌ You feel undervalued, underpaid, and unsure how to move up
❌ You try to figure it out on your own with scattered advice on the internet
❌ You start to wonder if it’s too late to pivot
With the Pivot Plan
✔️ You’re fast tracked for leadership positions and handed opportunities
✔️ You’re headhunted for roles aligned with your skills and goals
✔️ You interview with clarity and confidence – and turn conversations into offers
✔️ You’re recognized and valued for your unique skills – and compensated accordingly
✔️ You have a team behind you giving you proven methods with feedback, structure, accountability, and guidance
✔️ You land that job you’ve been day-dreaming about – with a clear plan to continue to grow
The Pivot Plan is for the person who wants more from their career.
I spent 5 years in Data Engineering at Meta, eventually growing into a Data Engineering Manager. But I wanted more. I loved using data to influence product decisions, but deep down, I knew I was a strategist and a storyteller at heart. I wanted to build products, not data pipelines.
When I told people I wanted to move into Product Management, almost everyone doubted me.
My manager told me not to do it: You’re already a woman in tech, defying the odds. Why risk that to become one of many?
Others said I’d have to take a pay cut, start over, or only focus on backend data products.
But what truly excited me was using data to create real customer impact.
Over time, I learned how to own my story, and communicate it in a way that resonated with people who could open doors. I searched for the right job, not just any job. I stopped settling.
After years of starts and stops, I landed my dream role as a Senior Product Manager at Hopper. From there, I kept growing, eventually becoming Head of Product for my group.
Now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned: from how to get hired for the role you actually want, tell your story with confidence, and thrive once you’re there.
I’m doing this not because I have to, but because I genuinely want to help. I know how hard it is to pivot into a higher impact role.
Are you ready to make a change?
I get it, because I’ve been there…
