Ken Norton is an executive coach for senior product and technology leaders through his Bring the Donuts practice. His site says he spent more than 14 years at Google, where he led product work on Google Docs, Calendar, and Mobile Maps, and later supported founders and leaders at GV. He also writes and speaks about product leadership, hiring, meetings, OKRs, and decision-making. His public work is most relevant for product leaders navigating strategy, org design, and the transition into larger leadership roles. This profile is most relevant for people who need help with Product Strategy, Team Leadership, Product-Market Fit and want to compare perspectives grounded in real operating experience rather than generic product career advice. Their background at Bring the Donuts is a useful signal for buyers who need context on company stage, decision scope, and the kind of PM challenges this person is likely to understand well. Public signals we rely on for this summary include official websites, company biographies, published writing, talks, books, podcasts, and professional profiles. We use those materials to create an editorial synthesis of what is clearly supported, while leaving out claims that are hard to verify or too dependent on private client work. Use this page as an editorial starting point. Review the linked sources, compare them with adjacent coaches and specialties, and treat the summary as a structured aid for diligence rather than an endorsement. If you need current pricing, availability, or engagement details, confirm them directly with the person or company behind the profile.
