Work with Adett
About
Having worked 15 years in finance - private wealth, institutional clients, portfolio management - in progressive roles, I watched from the inside how people navigate transitions, and how careers actually move in finance. I coach professionals through career transitions, new leadership roles, and the decisions in between, in a safe and confidential space with practical tools to find a way forward. If you are at a crossroads, I'd be glad to help.
Adett’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Analyst
10+ Career Coaching clients
13+ years in investment management operations at Jarislowsky Fraser (BNS group). I've spent my career as a high performer, progressing through roles with an invisible ceiling. As a coach, I support investment management professionals in positioning themselves for the next role, preparing for interviews, and transitioning into leadership. I help them get past the blind spots and blockages. With 3 years of career coaching, training, and my MBA from Heriot-Watt University, I've been on the other side of most conversations I coach, bringing a grounded perspective.

Career Planning
General Exploration
Interview Prep
Job Search Strategies

Why do I coach?
Over the years I have seen how difficult career transitions and starting new roles can be, how people can get stuck, how to deal with conflict within and across relationships. I enjoy helping people get clarity on where they are and what they want, and work with them on closing the gap, exploring their options, and finding their next step or direction.
