Building a great product is always about resolving user needs. Conducting survey research, data audits, customer service interviews, and heuristic analyses, are some of the forms of qualitative and quantitative research I use to understand user motivations, values, and anxieties.

User Research is integral to my professional DNA. My extensive engagement in the field has seen me leverage powerful platforms like UserTesting and Maze to derive invaluable insights. I hone the ability to dissect user feedback, discern pain points, and map out user journeys. This isn’t merely about data collection for me; it's about understanding the 'why' behind user actions. I ensure that products not only meet but exceed user expectations and desires.

User Research, particularly through qualitative interviews, is a specialty I hold dear. My expertise lies in conducting in-depth, empathetic conversations that unearth genuine user insights, all while maintaining an unbiased analytical lens. I blend the philosophy of 'Just Enough Research' with nuances of Behaviour Design, which enables me to delve into user psychology and needs without getting lost in data, and drive meaningful actions.

Have a pretty solid grasp on user research both for early-stage and at scale. User research is not just about asking the right questions, but also about finding the right people and having the right context on "why they say what they say".

Garbage in, gargabe out. We want to triangulate a good target market so that we can sequence our growth through adjacent segmentation and tap into existing, current market insights to derisk our approach to market.

User research and testing is a key part of my role. Our agency never delivers a large website project without user testing, and we frequently test even the smallest features before committing. I can help you with user research methodologies, resources, types of user tests for various problems and general rules of the craft.

Senior Product Manager
Constanta, Romania (+02:00 UTC)
Usually responds in 14 hours
I have conducted numerous User interviews, usability tests and designed countless user surveys in my quest to get my product the closest to my users' needs as possible. I have learned a lot from the discussions to my users, especially on the fact that we, the product managers, are not our users and should reach out to them to get the clearest version of their problem.

All your questions about mentorship, answered
Why should I talk to a product research mentor?
Of all the strategies for developing a product, having a mentor in product research can make a significant difference. They bring deep insights into validating ideas, understanding user needs, and navigating market trends.
Getting it right requires more than just theoretical knowledge; it takes real-world experience to make smart decisions and avoid costly mistakes. With a mentor, you’ll gain practical advice that’s directly applicable to your situation.
The journey of product development is filled with complexities. From defining your audience to analyzing data, having a mentor can help streamline the process and provide clarity amidst the overwhelming number of decisions.
While there are plenty of resources and case studies available, nothing beats the personalized guidance you’ll get from a mentor. They can help bridge the gap between theory and practice, giving you confidence in each step you take.
Wouldn’t you prefer to make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls?
You can achieve that with a product research mentor.
What can a product research mentor do for me?
Most product research mentors have extensive experience in developing and refining products. They’ve tackled various challenges and have a track record of success in understanding market needs and user behaviors.
With a mentor’s guidance, you’ll gain insights into how to effectively validate your product ideas, prioritize features, and make data-driven decisions. They’ll help you navigate user research, competitive analysis, and market trends to refine your product strategy.
For more advanced needs, a mentor can offer strategies for scaling your product, optimizing user experience, and integrating innovative research methods. They can also share real-world examples and case studies to illustrate successful approaches.
By leveraging a mentor’s experience, you’ll reduce trial and error and accelerate your path to a successful product.
Should I talk to a product research mentor now?
Whether you’re in the early stages of product development or looking to enhance an existing product, talking to a product research mentor can be incredibly beneficial.
If you’re just starting, a mentor can help you define your target audience, validate your ideas, and set up effective research methods. They’ll guide you in making informed decisions and help you avoid common mistakes.
If you’re already deep into product development, a mentor can assist with:
- Refining your user research methods
- Analyzing market trends and user feedback
- Prioritizing features and making data-driven decisions
- Overcoming challenges related to product fit and market demand
- Exploring new opportunities for growth and innovation
Even for seasoned product managers, a mentor’s insights can provide fresh perspectives and help you achieve new levels of success.
Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?
Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.
But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.
The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.
On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?
The short answer: Because they want to help people.
The long answer is because…
- They enjoy sharing their knowledge
- They learn from their mentees
- They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
- They want to pay it forward
But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Our mentors are the top 3% of their field. Every mentor goes through a strict double-vetting process to ensure they’re the best of the best.
But, when vetting, we also look at an applicant’s soft skills:
- Does this person have the patience to hop on a call with a total newbie?
- Can they hang with someone who is even more advanced than themselves in a certain area?
We’re looking for humility, kindness, and warmth.
These traits are what set Growth Mentors apart from other “gurus”.
They want to share their knowledge and help.
