I teach product management to the executive MBA students. Product Management in the Age of Product Product Management is both an art and a science. It is also an apprenticeship that is constantly evolving. In this course, students will learn from the best practices of the most senior C/VP-level product minds at the most innovative global companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft and more. The curriculum is focused on first principles and key questions Product Managers should answer: what makes a great product; what makes a great product manager; leading teams, and products. It blends multiple styles of learning, through the combination of lectures, guest speakers and a group project. This course is available to executive MBA students and no pre-requisite is necessary.

I teach early stage investing for investors, and startup board governance. I also teach user acquisition / engagement / mobile. Early Stage Investing For Individual Investors What sets successful Silicon Valley investors apart? How do you increase the probability that your early-stage investments generate outsize returns? In this class, I cover critical pre-investment topics including generating deal flow, conducting due diligence and negotiating fairly and effectively, as well as post-investment topics including sound governance, fundraising lifecycle and path to exit. Raising Your Profile: the Board-Ready Executive How do you go from being an expert to becoming an effective board member? Many C-level executives feel under-prepared to adequately answer this question. In this class, I share a surprisingly simple way to increase your visibility for board positions, things to watch out for when choosing a first board seat, and best practices that will make you a thought-after board director.
