Directors and mentors

Mihaela Draghici

Mihaela Draghici directs Product Sense, Builders Camp's bootcamp on framing product problems and deciding under uncertainty, drawing on her own Language Mapping Workshops for how teams talk about priorities and outcomes.

Mihaela Draghici's programme director bio centers on language, not code or growth metrics: through her Language Mapping Workshops and the Language Mapping Blueprint, she helps product leaders and teams get clear on how they talk about problems, priorities, ownership, outcomes, and success. Her stated belief is direct: when teams align on language, collaboration speeds up, trust increases, and execution becomes calmer and more effective. That same focus on framing and judgment, rather than tools, is what her Builders Camp bootcamp teaches.

Which bootcamp does Mihaela Draghici direct?

She is the programme director for Product Sense, a 2 week live bootcamp built around three 90 minute sessions. Its own description states the territory plainly: how strong product people make decisions when the answer isn't obvious, covering problem framing, decisions with incomplete or misleading data, and navigating trade-offs and stakeholder disagreement.

What does a member get from her sessions?

Members work through real product situations rather than idealized case studies: enterprise SaaS, AI and ML products, inherited decisions, and the kind of cross-functional friction that does not resolve cleanly. The bootcamp explicitly does not require years of product experience; it is built to strengthen judgment at any level, from aspiring PMs figuring out how experienced product people actually think, to senior leaders navigating organizational complexity without losing clarity or trust.

What Builders Camp content exists from Mihaela Draghici today

Mihaela Draghici's byline also appears on Product Sense's own practical challenge guide, a thin-data decision exercise, alongside the bootcamp itself and her programme director bio. Members who want more of her framing on decision-making under uncertainty get it live, in the three session format described above.

Product Sense is included in every Builders Camp Membership, alongside the rest of the bootcamp catalog, learning tracks, masterclasses, and Quest Mode.
