Career Coaching

As a professional mentor to rising executives for over 20 years, and as a coach to professionals working in a wide array of industries, I have found supporting clients navigate this area of life to be extremely rewarding.

My own career has been a series of pivots — into a non-technical field with no formal training, across industries from healthtech startups to Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs to Hinge, and up from individual contributor to Chief of Staff and team leader. I've had to figure out how to break into rooms I didn't have an obvious path into, build credibility without the "standard" resume for the job, and manage the self-doubt that comes with feeling behind people who took a more conventional route. I bring that same real-world navigation to coaching: less theory, more "here's exactly what worked when I was in your shoes." As a people manager, the part of my job I care about most is developing others. I've coached colleagues, direct reports, and people outside my own company through promotions, career pivots, and first-time transitions into new roles, often when they didn't have much other support to draw on. I know what it's like to navigate a career mostly through mentorship rather than a clear ladder, and I try to be that same resource for the people I work with now, whether you're trying to break into a new field, grow in your current one, or figure out what's next when the path isn't obvious.

Whether you're looking to break into the Big 4 or advance your career, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I bring two things to career coaching: professional coaching training, and 20 years of real experience inside companies. I spent 14 years at L’Oréal, where I built my career step by step, starting in sales and later moving into management, communication, marketing and international corporate content. So I know what it feels like to grow, change direction, take on more responsibility, question your next move, and figure out how to position yourself for what comes next. Today, I use that experience alongside my coaching training to help clients get clearer on what they want, make stronger career decisions, communicate their value with confidence, and move forward with a plan that feels both ambitious and realistic.

I’ve experienced career development from both sides of the table. Over 30 years, I progressed from an entry-level role in post-production to artist, creative leader and eventually Managing Director. I know what it’s like to want to progress, take on greater responsibility, move into management, develop business skills and work out what comes next. I’ve also spent much of my career helping other people navigate their own careers. As Head of The Mill’s New York 2D department, I directly led more than 45 artists, with a strong focus on 1:1s, career development, hiring and progression, achieving a 98.2% retention rate over five years. As a Managing Director, I hired and developed people across creative, production, operational and leadership roles, giving me experience from both sides of hiring, promotion and career decisions. Today, I combine that experience with professional coach training as an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and iPEC Certified Professional Coach (CPC). Whether you’re looking for a new job, trying to progress, considering a change, dealing with something difficult at work or simply asking yourself what comes next, I can help you think it through.

I bring more than 10 years of experience across product design, product management, and strategy, working on digital products for organizations including Disney, Expedia, Universal, Ford, and Papa. I’ve led work across the full product lifecycle, from customer research and defining the right problem to product strategy, experience design, stakeholder alignment, and delivery. Because my career spans both product and design, I can help clients strengthen their craft while also understanding the broader business and strategic thinking expected at senior levels. I offer practical guidance on portfolios, resumes, interviews, career transitions, stakeholder communication, and navigating complex product environments, grounded in firsthand experience building products used by millions of customers.

I know how difficult it is to find a job. I've been there. But you shouldn't have to do it alone. I specialize in helping college students navigate their career journey. Instead of jumping straight into applying, I help students figure out what matters most to them, and then help them make a plan to accomplish that. I don't just keep it high level though; I'll make sure to provide you with the tools and skills you need to succeed. I'm excited to work with you, not just because of what you'll eventually achieve, but also because of who you'll become in the process.

My own career has been shaped by making unconventional pivots and deliberately creating opportunities rather than waiting for a standard path to appear. I started college studying biology with plans to become a veterinarian, switched into computer science, and went on to spend five years in product at Reddit, ultimately leading complex product work for Reddit Search. Outside my core role, I repeatedly built initiatives from scratch. I created mentorship programs, including a high-school mentorship program at Reddit, volunteered as a product leader with Taimaka, and helped secure more than $250K in funding and resources for intrapreneurial and tech-for-good initiatives. I learned how to identify an opportunity, build internal support, win over stakeholders, and turn an idea without an obvious owner into something that actually happened. I’ve applied the same approach to my own career and personal brand. After my first UK Global Talent application was unsuccessful, I deliberately strengthened my external profile through writing, speaking, and building a public body of work. In a matter of months, I grew my LinkedIn audience by 2,000+ followers, was selected to speak at international technology conferences, spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt and won an Audience Choice award. That external credibility became part of the evidence I used when I successfully reapplied for the UK Global Talent Visa. I’m especially useful for ambitious people navigating a career pivot, trying to grow beyond the boundaries of their formal job, building a professional reputation, developing influence without authority, or figuring out how to create opportunities rather than waiting for them. My approach is less about following a standard career playbook and more about identifying what evidence, relationships, skills, and actions will materially expand your options.
