For 15 years, I'd been the first product leader at early-stage organizations. A bunch was at my own startup, where, despite exiting Google, I discovered I was a better head of product than an entrepreneur. Since then, I’ve run Product at Gasbuddy (consumer mobile, fintech, B2B Saas), Catalina Digital (martech, retail), Alyce (enterprise SaaS), and Brigit (consumer mobile fintech). I’ve stepped back from salaried work to be primary parent, and when not making lunches, scheduling doctor’s appointments, helping with homework, and nagging my kids to fold laundry, I provide coaching, mentorship, and advisory founders, solo PMs, and first-time heads of product at early stage companies.

But mostly, I just want to be helpful. Feel free to set up a meeting (I have an open calendar), shoot me an email, or message me on just about any product or tech industry platform or Slack you can find.

If it's interesting, you can learn more about my coaching work at https://joshua.herzig-marx.com or my personally at https://jhm.lol.
