1:1 Product Coaching

I help product leaders succeed in their careers.Just as top sports players have dedicated coaches in order to succeed, I firmly believe that top product professionals do benefit from 1:1 coaching.


Here are some common topics for our coaching sessions:🔹 Creating a product strategy that is aligned with the company goals. Measuring how effective it is and keeping management aligned on it.🔹 Creating a healthy product culture, organizing team topology, hiring & firing.🔹 Navigating the corporate structure, managing up and maximizing chances of getting promoted.🔹 Finding a new job, preparing for interviews and acing take-home assignments.


The coaching sessions are based on a mutually agreed agenda, with clearly designed outcomes. Preparation from both sides is mandatory in order to ensure that sessions are effective.

Here is what my coachees say about me:

I had the privilege of engaging in insightful sessions with Panagiotis Goros, and it was truly exceptional.He possesses an impressive depth of knowledge in product management, covering topics such as early-stage startup strategies, roadmap planning, stakeholder relationship building, and more. Panagiotis simplifies complex concepts and fosters a friendly atmosphere for collaborative learning. His expertise and approachable demeanor make him an invaluable mentor for aspiring product managers.I'm incredibly grateful for the insights gained from our sessions and wholeheartedly recommend Panagiotis to all looking to excel in this field.

For the past 8 months, Panos has played a key coaching role in helping me continue to grow as a product leader. Panos draws from his experience and manages to ask just the right questions for me to reflect upon and help me navigate areas such as steering product strategy discussions with senior management, as well as systems for managing oneself. He has also become an accountability partner, as our sessions are always followed up with concrete steps to turn our conversations into action.As a concrete example, one key learning has been to conduct a self-retro every two months, spending 1h at a cafe without any tech or distractions, something Panos suggested. This is now one of my favorite work habits. It lets me honestly assess what's going well, what needs improvement, and set clear action items for the next months. I then bring those action items into my weekly calendar for execution.In short, Panos has played a key role in helping me improve how to handle crucial areas like product strategy, planning, and working with C-Level. I'm grateful for the chance to work with him.

About meI am a seasoned product leader with 23 years of experience in technology companies and a builder at heart.I specialize in product leadership, strategy and innovation and during my career I have held senior product leadership roles at global companies like Dialectica, Upstream, Scytl and a number of startups. During this time I have built products in several industries (logistics, banking, online voting, adtech, expert networks, pharma manufacturing) and I have scaled and led teams of over 25 people.I have also founded 2 startups along the way and I am a Product Advisor and Coach for the last 5 years where I work with founders and teams to bring successful products to the market.

My mission statementMy mission as a consultant and coach is to help leaders and teams create impactful products that drive business growth.

Why?Too often I see companies putting money and time to create products based on limited understanding of the customers and the market. By doing so they set themselves for failure.I strongly believe that there is a better way to create products than just building and hoping that customers will come.There are proven methods to de-risk product development, by investing in understanding the customers, testing the market and taking a more scientific approach to innovation.By doing so, companies have a much better chance of succeeding in a very competitive market.
