Experienced CFO, investor, and entrepreneurial leader with a track record of success as a venture investor, business builder, fund-raiser and finance executive. While I continue to invest in venture capital, I developed my coaching practice in 2020 and since then have helped dozens of executives and entrepreneurs upskill, raise capital, find new opportunities, and excel in the new positions. I have done this work across industries, but most of my clients are entrepreneurs in tech/biotech, investment professionals in private equity/venture capital, or in real estate. I started my career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney (now Citi) before getting my MBA at Harvard Business School. I spent several years in private equity and venture capital at Warburg Pincus before moving into public equity investing at hedge funds, including my own for several years. Most recently I pivoted back to venture capital with a new firm, 3Spoke Capital, and spent two years as the CFO of a new AI/medtech venture, PreciseDx, for which I raised over $20MM in a Series B. All the while I was active in the recruitment, training, and management of high performance teams. I know how to build great teams, help you find a role within them, and crush the new job once you secure it.

As a career coach, I am dedicated to helping individuals discover their unique strengths, overcome challenges, and navigate the complexities of their professional journeys. My approach blends empathy, deep listening, and actionable strategies to guide clients toward fulfilling careers.

I recognize that no two individuals are the same, and I tailor my coaching to meet their specific goals, whether it's advancing in their current role, making a career transition, or finding their true passion. My ability to connect with people on a personal level allows me to provide guidance that feels authentic and meaningful. I also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in various industries, which allows me to offer practical insights and advice that can be immediately implemented. My clients benefit from not only my expertise but also my commitment to continuous learning, as I stay current with industry trends and best practices. Most importantly, I foster a supportive and motivating environment that encourages clients to take bold steps towards their career goals. Whether they need help with job search strategies, interview preparation, resume building, or personal branding, I am there every step of the way to ensure they feel confident and prepared for success. Ultimately, my goal is to empower individuals to achieve their professional dreams and unlock their fullest potential, making me a good career coach because I genuinely care about their success.
