Consultants, what things do you recommend me to do if I want to break into product management? Like building a portfolio or? I don’t have a technical background myself but I am interested in it. Thanks!

Usually you need experience in managing products
From leading a team that is making a product as project manager, or involved as developer; to the market fit, go to marler, competitor analysis and that stuff of real things that went life.
I recently switched to product management and is quite a bit of time to adapt, even if i deployed a dozen products before.
If you dont have opportunities in your current employer, you could try to create your own "startup", which means a small product that you launch yourself. If you are into tech, code it yourself.

Start by getting experience with every phase of the product development life cycle, then get good with the agile methodology, then develop any product at your job, then you’re good!
