Hi, I’m Tolga. I’m a seasoned Product Management leader with over 15 years of experience driving growth and innovation across industries including eCommerce, Quick Commerce, Gaming, eLearning, and PropTech.

I specialize in Product Strategy, Data Analytics, and User Experience Design, combining these disciplines to build products that solve real user problems while delivering measurable business impact. Over the years, I’ve led agile, cross-functional teams, helping organizations scale products from 0–1, 1–10, and beyond.

Some highlights from my career:
• Scaled products to millions of users while improving retention and engagement rates by double digits.
• Built and mentored product teams, guiding junior PMs into senior roles and growing product organizations from scratch.
• Partnered with Data Science, Engineering, and Design teams to create customer experiences that balance usability with business outcomes.

I’m passionate about:
• Defining product vision and strategy that align with business goals.
• Turning data into decisions that shape better user journeys.
• Creating engaging, intuitive experiences that customers love.

I believe that great products can create meaningful change — and I bring that philosophy to my mentoring as well.

Mentoring with Me

Over the past few years, I’ve mentored dozens of product managers across industries, from those preparing for their first PM role to experienced leaders stepping into head-of-product or director-level positions. My focus is on giving you practical, actionable guidance that you can immediately apply to your career.

My Mentoring Topics

I structure my mentoring into three main areas:

1. Career Growth
• Career advice and role progression
• Resume and portfolio reviews
• Mock interviews with structured feedback

2. Core Product Skills
• Product strategy and roadmap planning
• Problem-solving and decision-making frameworks
• User research methods and metrics/KPIs for success

3. Leadership & Influence
• Stakeholder management and communication
• Leading and motivating product teams
• Building confidence as a product leader

My mentees have gone on to land roles at top companies, advance to senior PM positions, and launch products with measurable impact.
