Mounica Sirineni

I'm a Senior Product Manager with a unique career trajectory that encompasses diverse roles and successful transition into Product Management from an unconventional background. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), but pivoted towards a Master's in Management Information Systems (MIS), blending analytical and managerial disciplines. My professional journey kicked off at Amazon as a Business Analyst, but my thirst for new challenges led me to transition into Program Management, where I honed my communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and process enhancement. However, my true passion reignited when I collaborated closely with Product Managers. Wrestling with imposter syndrome, I proactively embarked on pet projects that allowed me to delve into Product Management. Now, with 6+ years experience as a full-fledged Product Manager, I've never looked back. I'm an active participant in the Merit community as both a mentor and mentee. I firmly believe that every journey holds invaluable lessons to be shared. Whether you're charting a non-linear career path, navigating role shifts, or aiming to transition into Product Management from an unconventional background, I'm here to provide guidance, share insights, and help you overcome any doubts.
