"Throughout my extensive experience working with various teams as an Agile Coach, I have rarely come across someone as skilled and approachable as Chantal in coaching product teams on discovery methods and facilitating a variety of innovation workshops.

Chantal creates an environment that fosters collaboration, trust and creativity, enabling teams to overcome complex challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes. Her ability to manage group dynamics, encourage open communication, and ensure every team member's voice is heard leads to enriched insights and robust ideation sessions.

Her facilitation and coaching skills are unparalleled, driving teams to achieve remarkable outcomes.”

— Shannon Whitman, Agile Coach, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

“Chantal's coaching brought an incredible burst of energy and clarity to our team from day one. Her relentless focus on customer needs and her ability to challenge long-standing assumptions and industry 'dogma' encouraged us to think differently. Chantal created a space where the team could speak freely, yet she wasn’t afraid to nudge us out of our comfort zones when it was needed most.

Even when tackling intricate, seemingly impossible challenges, Chantal helped us build confidence in a customer-driven Product Discovery process. Her guidance had a lasting impact, fundamentally transforming the way our Product people approach their roles.

And her Coaching Notes! They're a game-changer — packed with insights, wins, and areas for continuous improvement that we regularly refer back to for guidance and inspiration.

Thank you, Chantal!”

— Director of Product Innovation, FinTech co.

"Working with Chantal has honestly been a game-changer. Right from the start, her communication style made me feel at ease — I felt genuinely heard and understood. She found just the right balance of structure for each session, keeping things on track but also leaving room for whatever new challenges popped up. Unlike typical coaching where every answer is met with another question, Chantal’s advice comes from real experience as a practitioner, so it always feels relevant and grounded.

The biggest win for me has been a boost of confidence in my new leadership role. With Chantal’s support, I've been able to start strong, feeling sure about my approach and picking up insights I wouldn’t have found on my own. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to grow their product and leadership skills. She’s an incredible blend of coach and mentor, and it’s made all the difference."

“. . . Our team was responsible for growing a monthly active user base of a quarter of a billion users, and Chantal was critical to that mission.

As Head of Emerging Products, Chantal was responsible for keeping us focused on what's next, and how we could continue to be at the forefront of creating value for our users in the commoditized and saturated category of weather. Without question, Chantal delivered and got us there every day. She delivered our first weather alarm clock...; she delivered an AI-driven chat service to keep people safe during hurricanes; and she established an innovation program with Samsung that enabled developers to build on our platform. The list goes on.

Chantal is fearless; she is passionate; she keeps the user at the center; and she is someone who will challenge you and the organization constantly. Any company that has the good fortune to have Chantal will be in for an awesome ride because she will take you and your customers places never seen before.”

— Elliott Trice, former SVP of Consumer Product, IBM/Weather Co.

"Our workshop originally kicked off with the plan to design a key new feature using the Design Studio methodology, but early on, it became clear that we had some bigger questions around Product Market Fit. Chantal picked up on this right away and didn’t hesitate to pivot the session. Instead of diving into feature design, we shifted focus to explore our value propositions and selling points - exactly what the team needed at that moment.

What impressed me most was how smoothly Chantal handled this shift, especially with a remote team spread across different time zones and cultural backgrounds. She kept everyone engaged and made sure every voice was heard, which isn’t always easy in virtual settings. By the end of the session, not only did we have a much clearer understanding of how to position our product in the market and align on our unique value, but we had a way to test our assumptions. Chantal’s adaptability and facilitation skills really set her apart."

— Michael Mariani, Principal Consultant, MBDR

"Chantal is one of the most effective product leaders I have worked with in my career as a software engineer.

What separates her from others is that she gives power to engineers, designers and stakeholders to solve problems together. And when I say together, I mean truly together: sketching, whiteboarding and brainstorming in the same room. Despite this approach being consistent with the popular Agile, Scrum and Lean UX methodologies, it is surprisingly rare to find a product leader who actually carries it out.

I've yet to see an approach to product development that produces better results for the business, delivers more value to users or creates more productive and harmonious teams.

I have continued to use this approach as a north star for how to develop great products on every team I join.
