Hey, I'm Zakir 👋

I'm a Product Leader, Coach, Writer, and Podcaster.

I’ve spent 11+ years building products at Amazon, Microsoft, and multiple high-growth startups. Now, I continue to work hands-on as a PM while running a coaching and content business to help experienced PMs break through career plateaus.

Product Hiring Advisory

Helping founders make their critical PM hires, from first PM to Head of Product.

Most early-stage founders struggle with hiring PMs, including when to make the first hire, how to identify the right PMs and levels for their needs, and how to approach the interview process. I partner directly with founders to bring clarity, structure, and confidence to the entire hiring process.

How I work with founders

  • Clarify exactly who you need - level, scope, and role definition
  • Build your job description, interview loop, and evaluation rubrics
  • Screen candidates and participate in interviews as a product partner
  • Provide structured feedback on each candidate
  • Advise on offer strategy and PM onboarding
