Proof

Questions screeners ask

What roles are a fit?
Group Product Manager, Director of Product, and Head of Product—leadership that still specifies and ships. I am a poor fit for title-only management, a pure IC PM seat, or a production-design/engineering-only role.
Did Funnychord overlap with in-house jobs?
Yes, on purpose. Funnychord ran from 2012–2023 in parallel with in-house roles. I ran the studio while leading product at Market Rebellion and during a focused growth chapter at GoPro. The studio was a 20-person practice, not a side hustle that replaced employment.
Why was GoPro only a year?
It was a one-year in-house chapter, not a side project: first dedicated growth PM for software subscriptions, standing up the practice and aligning product and subscription teams. Tenure was short for personal reasons. I still treat it as real work with a clear charter.
Is the EY title consulting or product?
Both, in practice. Nuvalence hired me as a Senior Product Manager in 2023; EY acquired Nuvalence in April 2024 and the HR title became Manager, Technology Consulting. The work is Group Product Manager: product strategy on a multi-application licensing platform, mentoring 5+ PMs, and spec-driven delivery in a regulated environment. I am looking for a product-leadership seat, not a generalist consulting ladder as the destination.
What should I know about the name?
Legal and public name is Laura Schoichet. Earlier records, bylines, and some colleagues still use Laura Peters.
