Divya Sethi

About Me : I am a senior product leader with 15+ years of experience building 0→1 products and scaling $1B+ businesses across AI/ML, cloud, and storage. I have led large-scale product initiatives at companies like VMware and NetApp, and my experience across engineering, technical leadership, and product management enables me to bridge technology with business outcomes. I have built an LLM-powered developer Copilot , led machine learning–based predictive analytics platform, and guided multiple teams through high-stakes product, technical, and customer decisions. I am currently deepening my AI/ML expertise through an advanced program at Cornell, exploring neural networks, GenAI, NLP, and autonomous agents - with a strong focus on turning emerging technology into practical, responsible products. How I Help: I work primarily with Founders, Product Managers, and Engineers who are making real product decisions-often in high-tech, or ambiguous environments. I’ve mentored 30+ founders, PMs, and engineers, helping them launch products, navigate technical/business challenges, and accelerate their careers. I help with: • Validating product ideas and shaping problem statements (including AI/ML use cases) • Defining product vision, strategy, MVPs, and roadmaps • Go-to-market strategy and product launches • Scaling products and navigating growth • I also support career growth and transitions—such as breaking into product management or advancing as a PM etc. My Mentoring Style: • 1:1 deep-dive sessions with collaborative brainstorming and real-world feedback • No one-size-fits-all solutions; Let's figure out what works best for you or your product • One-off product decisions or long-term growth • Career guidance relevant to your goals Let’s Connect I truly believe that even in a world full of chatbots and automation, real human connection matters. We all grow by learning from each other. If you’re building a product, exploring an AI/ML idea, facing a tough strategic decision, or thinking about your next career step, I’d love to help you move forward. I’ve been through a lot of “I wish I had a mentor” moments myself, and I hope my experience can be valuable to you.

  Product management

  I’ve spent my career leading products E2E , from shaping vision and strategy for 0-to-1 ideas to scaling mature products. My experience spans the full lifecycle, including user research, GTM & post-launch growth. As exciting as the PM journey can be, it also comes with its share of challenges ,from juggling multiple roles to managing uncertainties. I’m passionate about helping others navigate their journeys with more clarity, whether it’s building from scratch or finding balance amid the chaos.
