About
Frank Harris is a coach and former product executive with over 20 years of experience building teams and products at companies like Slack, Etsy, and Google.
Frank’s career spans engineering, design, and product leadership across startups, scale-ups, and public companies. He’s known for combining deep technical intuition with design sensibility and a sharp sense of product strategy — a blend that shapes his coaching today.
As a self-taught engineer, Frank joined Google as a UX designer and created the original transit icons for Google Maps — an early example of his ability to bridge tech with human-friendly design.
He later joined Etsy as a product manager pre-IPO, where he played a pivotal role in enhancing search and discovery and led the launch of a high-margin, self-serve ad platform for sellers — one of their most successful revenue initiatives.
Frank went on to hold VP roles at Betterment, Casper, InVision, and Slack, leading cross-functional teams through periods of rapid growth, product reinvention, and organizational change.
Today, he works with senior ICs, VPs, and founders as a coach — helping them navigate complex leadership challenges, clarify strategy, and grow with intention.
His practice is grounded in ICF-aligned coaching, supported by 1:1 work, tools like Frankbot (his AI coaching assistant), and Frank Takeaways, a weekly newsletter on product and leadership.
He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife, two young daughters, and an Italian truffle dog that isn't of much use in the city.
