I had the privilege of having Rocky as my instructor. Rocky’s mastery of product management and its practical uses really helped me connect the dots between business strategy, marketing, sales, product, engineering, and UX. Rocky is a product veteran who has a very unique and engaging teaching style that brings you into the PM mindset and process regardless of your background. I am honored to have attended Rocky’s PM course! Highly recommended.

I very highly recommend Rocky's Product Executive Course. Rocky is exceptionally engaging, uses numerous real-life professional experiences as his examples and if full of great advise! Rocky also ensures that each person is heard individually and is free to ask individual questions and talk about their individual professional concerns/interests. This is an absolutely fantastic professional enhancement course for Product Leaders and those in or interested in becoming Product Executives!

I had the best time and learning experience... I was part of Rocky's class, who did a phenomenal job at not only delivering the course (which covered everything from business model, strategy to data analytics and stakeholder management in Product), but also “nudging” us to be more curious, think outside the box and always strive to “deliver customer delight in hard to copy, margin enhancing ways”. Rocky is a truly inspirational product leader and will undoubtedly continue adding tremendous value to the world of Product. Thanks Rocky!

FANTASTIC!!! I have taken a few professional development courses, but this so far has been the best. Rocky is extremely knowledgeable and he keeps the class very engaging. I like how he structured the course and the helpful material.

Rocky is a passionate teacher who not only talks the talks; but walks the walk in the knowledge and truths he shares. He is genuinely dedicated to teaching others and encourages students to aim for success – regardless of what their definition of success may be. Dedicated, Empathetic, Motivational, and Relatable are the epitome of Rocky. I've learned more from Rocky’s genuine character of being a decent human being than any book could have taught.

Rocky has a great mind for understanding the nuances of developing tech products and is one of the most customer-obsessed, empathetic PMs I have worked with. He is very dependable with a high sense of ownership, works well in a matrixed/high ambiguity environment, and strikes the right balance between thinking big and getting stuff done. He can effectively lead product and tech teams, partner broadly on creative and tactical ideas, while always recognizing what truly moves the needle for the business. Rocky was a great partner in driving an ecommerce-enabled, home-improvement platform for homeowners and professionals. Most notably, he brings a natural curiosity and quest for learning everyday. I'd work with him or hire him in a heart beat.

Rocky was absolutely phenomenal. He possesses wide industry knowledge & has lots of wisdom! Him sharing real life examples that happened to him in his career was extremely valuable. However, the best part was that he came across as a coach, truly pushing everyone to think about their WHY, ensuring the career path that people choose to pursue resonates with them in the long-run. He is very personable & excellent at creating engagement within the group. We had a group of 20+ peers and everyone stayed through the end! I can’t recommend him highly enough!
