Career Coaching

My career has covered a lot of ground fast. In the past three years I've worked across a non-profit, a tech startup, a fine art gallery, a water engineering firm, and a solar energy company, and before that I interned in the US Senate. Each transition was intentional, and each one taught me something different about how to get in the door without a traditional background for the role. I know what it takes to tell a story across industries, write a resume that doesn't look like a copy-paste job, and approach outreach in a way that actually gets responses. I've done this enough times that I can spot what's not working quickly and help you fix it.

If you’re at a crossroads, you don’t need more generic advice. You need clarity on what you actually want, language that captures what you’re great at, and a strategy you can follow without second-guessing yourself. In our work, you’ll get focused support to identify the right next roles, translate your strengths into a compelling story, and take confident action—resume, LinkedIn, networking, interviews, and decision decisions included. My approach is shaped by 25 years at Pfizer leading career growth and early talent—designing the programs, frameworks, and pathways that help people move. I built enterprise-wide career growth initiatives, supported mobility across functions, and helped early-career talent launch strong starts. I understand what hiring leaders look for, how internal and external moves really happen, and why capable people get stuck even when they’re doing everything “right.” You’ll leave with a clear direction, sharper positioning, and a step-by-step plan you’ll actually use. Expect practical tools, honest reflection, and momentum you can feel—because your next chapter deserves more than guessing.

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from The Wharton School and a Master's in International Studies from The Lauder Institute, I bring a wealth of experience in finance and international business to my coaching practice. As the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Wright Capital Partners AG, and with leadership roles at top firms like BAWAG and Cerberus Capital Management, I've honed my skills in corporate finance, debt restructuring, and strategic management. I've successfully coached professionals to navigate complex career transitions and achieve their career goals. Whether you're looking to advance in finance or pivot to a new industry, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

With over 15 years of leadership experience across top financial institutions, I bring deep, real-world expertise in executive leadership, career progression, and organizational strategy. Having managed global teams, led major DE&I and culture initiatives, and served on the Board of Governors for the Institute of Internal Auditors, I understand what it takes to navigate complex corporate environments, advocate for yourself, and step confidently into high-impact roles. As an NYU Stern MBA graduate and Certified Life Coach, my coaching approach blends strategic career development with personalized, evidence-based mentorship. I specialize in helping professionals build executive presence, master high-stakes communication, navigate career transitions, and set actionable goals for long-term growth. Whether you are looking to step into management, refine your strategic leadership, or break through your next career plateau, I provide the frameworks, candid feedback, and tailored support to help you achieve your career goals.

I've navigated multiple career pivots across industries, continents, and cultures — Bank of New York to Google Brazil to Instagram to founding Speak Dreams. I coach leaders through inflection points by helping them own and articulate the narrative that makes them irreplaceable. At Google, X, and Meta, I worked with leaders facing pivots: role transitions, visibility challenges, identity shifts. The pattern: storytelling unlocks clarity. When you can tell your story coherently, you move from stuck to strategic. I've coached this methodology at scale — my Speak Dreams Mentorship Program matched 84 women across cultures and countries through narrative work. The approach works: 9.9/10 life impact rating.

I have experience coaching entrepreneurs, engineers, lawyers, doctors, artists, and public servants to advocate for themselves more effectively in high-stakes professional conversations: nailing behavioral interviews, negotiating salary raises, delivering difficult feedback, asking for support from higher-ups, and more. I've trained and taught under the Getting to Yes lineage anchored at Harvard Law School, and am up to speed on the sharpest tools for negotiation and difficult conversations. I pair this with my training in psychological and somatic tools to make sure your nervous system is grounded enough to land the plan as we build it together.

I'm a Senior Manager and Bar Raiser at Amazon. With 13 years experience, conducting 800+ interviews (200+ as Bar Raiser), I know how interviewers evaluate candidates and how hiring decisions actually get made in the debrief room. In 2026 alone I've coached 25+ clients, with the majority receiving offers at the companies they were targeting. My focus is on your existing experience. We find the stories you already have, shape them to land the way interviewers need to hear them, and close the gap between what you're projecting and what gets recorded in an interviewer's notes.

My career has spanned MBB consulting, business school, and strategy & operations roles in technology, giving me firsthand experience navigating competitive recruiting processes, career pivots, and professional growth across industries and geographies. Having lived, studied, and worked in multiple countries, I understand the challenges of making high-stakes career decisions and repositioning yourself for new opportunities. Whether you're transitioning into tech, applying to business school, preparing for interviews, or pursuing your next promotion, I can help you build a compelling narrative that connects your experiences, strengths, and future goals. My coaching style is direct, strategic, and personalized. Together, we'll refine your resume, strengthen your interview skills, and position your story in a way that resonates with admissions committees and hiring managers. The strongest candidates aren't always the most accomplished—they're the ones who can clearly communicate who they are, the impact they've made, and where they're headed next.
