Hi, I’m Product Dave 👋
I’m a Product Leader at Kajabi with 18+ years of experience in Product Management, having progressed from Junior PM to Group PM. I’ve had the privilege of partnering with General Assembly, Melbourne Business School, EntryLevel and Harvard Innovations Labs to design and teach Product Management courses, helping over 4,000 students across 200+ classes break into PM roles and advance their careers.
In 2024, I made a bold move from a $250k+ PM role in Australia to start fresh in the U.S., giving me a renewed perspective on building from the ground up. This journey has inspired me to demystify the art of Product Management by sharing practical, no-fluff insights drawn from real-world experience.

Why Did I Build the BluePrint?
Breaking into Product Management is hard—not because you’re not capable, but because the system is broken.
I KNOW, because I've taught in those institutions and I've been teaching at Universities and other Education companies for the past 8 years.
Most aspiring PMs are left to navigate vague competency frameworks, spend thousands on certificates, and send out endless resumes with little result. The worst part?
You don't need another certificate. You need a blueprint that works on your side, that actually helps you gain traction
