Curious what it's like to be a part of this program?
“The Power Up | Recharge Mentorship program by Ramona Chihaia was exactly what I needed to get out of my comfort zone.
Every Monday morning, we received a fresh set of new exercises that we discussed later in the week, and the structure really made me take a hard look at my skills and think about how to improve my search in today’s job market.
The program helped me become more disciplined with my mindset, it made steady improvements to my CV. The feedback from mentors who were deeply involved in recruitment was incredibly useful.
For any Product Managers looking to boost their skills and get practical career advice, I recommend Ramona’s program.
It helped me prepare for the next role, and I am very grateful for that.”
Andrei Andronic, Participant
Product Manager at Neurony
“Searching for a job can be so overwhelming!
Power Up really helps simplify the process.
Through the program, you're connected with others who understand the journey and can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
The program itself is a nice mix of active (live) sessions + self-study.
Ramona is incredible. She leads in a very empathetic, collaborative, yet assertive way. She's very knowledgeable and provides a TON of information and resources that are available both during and after the program.
The group itself was full of interesting, motivated people — many of whom landed new jobs during the program!
For anyone who is serious about taking charge of their career, I would highly recommend joining Ramona for Power Up!”
Adrienne Dant, Mentor
Nike Product Lead, Entrepreneur, Connector
“For some of you, at first glance, the program may be like the good old process of reflection and conversation that some (many?) of us do from time to time, on our own or with friends.
That's what I thought so after the first session. That's also an optical illusion.
As I went through the homework and the conversations, things shifted in my head when I least expected.
The process provides practical solutions, but there's an emotional and mindset dimension that helped me most by confirming a few fresh decisions I had just made and was unsure about.”
Lucian Gramescu, Participant
Operations Executive to Product and Delivery Manager
“Being part of the program as a mentor has given me the opportunity to share the knowledge and experience that I have gained over the years.
It also brought me new insights and learnings that I can incorporate going forward, whether I am being interviewed or I am interviewing.“
Ivana Viranovska, Mentor
Software Engineering Manager at Nike
“I jumped into the on a gut feeling, not really knowing what to expect.
Thank you, intuition!
With genuine support and thoughtfully curated resources, I gained clarity about my career context, goals, and areas for improvement. This new mindset feels like the wind in my sails.
Thank you, Ramona!”
Ina German, Participant
Product Growth Manager at Espresso AI • Fractional COO at Wellview Solutions
“The program made me feel like I wasn't alone in looking for career growth despite feeling stuck in this journey.
Somehow, it gave me more confidence and motivation to try harder.
The program brought actionable clarity to my career options.
A wealth of assignments got me a wealth of learning. But I wouldn't have learned if it hadn’t been for the clever way the program engaged and motivated me.“
Raluca Moraru, Participant
Product Owner | Business Analyst
“The program made me feel like I wasn't alone in looking for career growth despite feeling stuck in this journey.
Somehow, it gave me more confidence and motivation to try harder.”
Vita Korotka, Participant
Project Manager | Project Coordinator
“The Power-Up | Recharge program turned out to be a flashlight for me in a dark room, and it was called ‘my career’.
In my opinion, the program's greatest value is the community that surrounds you and shares its invaluable experience with you. In such situations, the boundaries of your worldview expand. It turned out that a lot of people are in the same state of doubt as I am.
In addition to the community, it was incredibly useful for me to work on reassessing my values and views regarding a future employer and learn practical guides on working with LinkedIn.
Having jumped into the last carriage of the program, I have never regretted it.”

Scrum Master at EPAM

We sit on your side of the table throughout the entire process from figuring out what you want, sourcing opportunities, storytelling to interviewing. We focus on what's in your best interest.
