LONG

Petra Wille is an independent product leadership coach and author who's been helping product teams boost their skill sets and up their game since 2013.

Petra started her career as a software developer in one of Germany's largest publishing houses (Hubert Burda Media) and quickly realized that she had a talent for the conceptual part of the job. During her tenure at SAP and the business network XING, she developed her product management expertise by working with great product thought leaders like Marty Cagan and Jason Goldberg.

After her time at XING, Petra first became Head of Product, and later Managing Director of the translation startup tolingo.

In 2013 she started to work as an independent product management consultant and product discovery coach.

Petra loves helping her clients build great products and form high-performing product organizations by focusing on the personal growth of each product manager. Through this work, she developed her toolkit for coaching product people. Her first publication around this topic is a deck of self-coaching cards for product people, #52questions.

Her book, STRONG Product People: A Complete Guide to Developing Great Product Managers, was published in January 2021. The book has been read and loved by product leaders worldwide.

Petra recently released her next book, STRONG Product Communities. This guide provides readers with essential tools and insights to create and nurture thriving product communities of practice. Drawing from her extensive experience, in-depth interviews, and a quantitative survey of product practitioners, Petra aims to enable product leaders to unlock even greater potential in their teams through the power of community.

Alongside her freelance work, Petra teams up with Arne Kittler to co-organize and curate Product at Heart, a conference for curious product people in Hamburg, Germany.
