About Me

I’m Dave Wang (Product Dave) — a Product Leader with 18+ years across Linktree, Kajabi, Expedia, Vodafone, and Australia’s largest bank. I’ve taught product for 8+ years through Product Academy, the University of Melbourne, and General Assembly.

In 2024, I left a $350k+ PM role in Australia and moved to the U.S. with no network. I relied on the same fundamentals I teach today — clear thinking, strong product skills, and a meaningful side project — and landed a Lead PM role at Kajabi.
I focus on practical product thinking and how AI is reshaping product work.
