Irene's thoughts and ideas have created a richer understanding of product management for me. Specifically, she has impacted the way I think about product management in small companies compared to large companies.

I felt empowered to make important career decisions with confidence. Her practical advice comes with rich industry experience. In every meeting with Irene I came with big questions and always left with concrete solutions and plans.

For anyone that is stuck and is seeking clarity and confidence, I highly recommend speaking to Irene.

Meeting Irene was certainly delightful. Not only was she able to quickly understand the landscape of my issues, she expertly gave quality tips/advice to help me navigate the world of product. I highly recommend Irene!

Irene completed 3 remote sessions of product training for the team at Class Ltd covering a huge amount of content in an engaging and interactive way, drawing on her own extensive experience and other case studies to bring the learning to life. We really valued what was delivered and highly recommend to other organisations looking to build capability on good product management.

Irene is an outstanding leader, educator and product professional.

Her work with our team has been incredibly impactful in a very short amount of time, and has brought clarity to product strategy and delivery.

I highly recommend Irene.

Craig Boshier
Former COO, Airmap

Irene had a wealth of information to present, however her great strength was communication. Irene was able to engage with a very large group of inductees in a personable way, while still engaging the whole group. I learned so much, I couldn’t recommend her more!

Irene played a major role in the transformation of Telstra.com. She was instrumental in delivering fundamental changes to the site and was always positive, innovative and collaborative in her approach - highly regarded by the team.

Omar Khalifa
Former Director, Telstra

Irene is incapable of performing any task in a less than disciplined and thorough manner. All recommendations she brings to the table are backed with in-depth research and thought. She is adept at managing priorities and has never failed to meet a deadline. Irene is a joy to work with as she approaches all tasks with enthusiasm and is a highly co-operative team member.

Mei Sien Loke
Former General Counsel, Melbourne IT

I was impressed by Irene’s ability to deal with clients, effortlessly. She has the ability to command a room and get buy-in on ideas. These skills often take years to develop among consulting professionals, but they seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. She is also one of the hardest workers I have ever work with and would be honoured to work with her again.

DeVilliers Malan,
Senior Product Manager, Cover Genius

Irene is very knowledgeable and always willing to share her deep expertise in Product Management linked to her experience in Telecommunications as well as Financial Services. She is highly engaging and insightful in navigating and overcoming common problems that product managers face in implementing product change including engagement with key stakeholders. I look forward for the next opportunity to collaborate with her and always enjoy her enthusiasm and passion in delivering great outcomes for customers.

Trevor Lee

Service Owner, Group Product Chapter Capability and Rhythm, Westpac

She takes her job very seriously and goes above and beyond, like when she spent hours patiently listening to me on the state of the company, providing a sounding board to help us clarify our thinking on the next steps.

She is also very flexible with timezones, which played a central role for us since we had to connect 3 continents with over 16h of gaps.

I highly recommend her

Francesco Guglielmino

CEO, Cuebiq

What an amazing course! I'd love to take more courses with Irene. What doesn't she know?!

She presented complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner, with the latest trends and developments in the field of product management, as well as a solid set of models and history of what has come before and how we got here. For example, I didn't know that product management actually came out of marketing!

Irene Liakos is an outstanding mentor and guide in the field of Product Management. I had the privilege of being mentored by her, and the experience is truly invaluable to my professional growth.

If you get the chance to have Irene as your mentor or coach take it. She knows her stuff, is super motivating, and will definitely give your career a boost.
