Course overview
If you’ve shipped an API product—or more—and you want to level up your expertise, API Product Mastery for Experienced PMs is for you. You’ll learn how to design and deliver API products that not only meet technical standards but also drive measurable business impact. We’ll go beyond the basics, digging into real strategies for building APIs that empower both developers and business stakeholders, all while solidifying your role as an API thought leader within your organization.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to speak confidently about APIs in product parlance, build robust solutions your engineering teams will appreciate, and design Developer Experiences that rival the best in the industry. My core goal is to help you sharpen your capabilities so you can set bold KPIs, exceed them, and demonstrate the ROI of your API initiatives.
You’ll walk away with a practical toolkit for everything from rapid prototyping to scaling API products for high-volume use. Whether you’re perfecting an existing product, tackling a new launch, or even guiding a team of product managers, you’ll have the structure and know-how to succeed:
Understand APIs at a deeper level—enough to earn the respect of peers, leadership, and technical teams
• Drive business impact by setting stronger goals and hitting KPIs for your API products
• Build a clear path to product growth through monetization, internal advocacy, and advanced Go To Market strategies
• Deliver a stellar Developer Experience with better documentation, security, and onboarding flows
• Become the API champion who can confidently guide decision-making and position APIs as a strategic advantage within your organization
• Explore the future of APIs as they evolve with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent API consumption, including design and building of APIs with the help of LLMs.
After 15+ years managing API products, I’ve seen firsthand how to thrive as an API PM—and I want to share what I’ve learned!
When you complete this course, you’ll have the skills and perspective to deliver real value and confidently guide and scale the next generation of API portfolios.

Jay Alexander
API PM Executive | 15+ Years, VP-Level Experience
I’m Emmanuel, an entrepreneur, product management executive, and consultant at Level 250 with over 15 years of experience shaping API products.
I’ve led large API programs in fintech for Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely, and served as VP of Product for some of the world’s most influential API tools—like API Blueprint at Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway, and Swagger at SmartBear (750,000+ APIs).
Over the years, I’ve consulted with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, engaging with thousands of API providers and consumers to help them build winning products and exceptional developer experiences.
My passion is to make APIs more impactful and developer-friendly, which is why I created the API Product Mastery for Experienced PMs course: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers fast-track their careers.
Join me to gain practical insights, avoid common pitfalls, and learn how to deliver API Products that enable great user experiences—without repeating the mistakes I’ve already made along the way.
