Jean Kang — Founder
Over the last decade, I led impactful programs at companies like LinkedIn, Pinterest, & Figma. But here’s the part that surprises people: - I didn’t have a PMP certification. - I’m a proud career pivoter. - I didn’t check every box. What I did have was strategy, storytelling, and a clear sense of how to articulate my value. That’s how I landed multiple 6-figure Program Manager roles at top tech companies not by following the “traditional” path, but by leaning into my superpowers. Eventually, I had a spark to do something different.. What if I used the same skills that helped me thrive in Big Tech… to build something of my own? So I left to bet on myself (again). And what served me well in my career also helped me as a solopreneur. I owned my story, built with intention and shared learnings in public. I started creating content in 2023 and in 2 years, built a community of 350K+ across LinkedIn, Instagram, and my newsletter. Today, I’m the founder of the PM Accelerator, a career transformation program where I help senior professionals land high-paying PM roles without another certification or starting over. My mission is to democratize access to tech careers + empower folks to design a career, business & life they love especially in this era of AI. The Results: → Partnered with Google, Hubspot, NVIDIA, Adobe, Kajabi, Notion, & more → LinkedIn Learning Instructor with 200K+ learners → 100M+ impressions over the last year → 230K+ follow my journey on LinkedIn → Built a $200K+ business in 1 year → 32K+ read my newsletter → (soon TEDx speaker 😱) If you want to learn the exact framework I used to land dream PM roles + help others do the same… 📌 APPLY TO THE PM ACCELERATOR (link in bio) In this 5-week career acceleration program, I teach you how to get interviews, land dream offers and literally thrive on the job. I helped 100+ students land PM roles at Microsoft, SoFi, Scale.AI, Adidas, Workday and more (many in under 4–7 weeks) → GO HERE: pm-accelerator.com 📧 jean@jean-kang.com for partnerships, collaborations, and speaking opportunities 📌 Media kit: jean-kang.com
