Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

If you're navigating a career pivot, title promotion, a messy restructure, or a leadership change that's shifting the ground under you - you're not alone. I've spent 10+ years across five companies and more than 20 reorgs, earned 3 internal promotions, and landed roles at Uber, Snapchat, and Foursquare. I leverage both my career wins and losses to put my focus on you: how to stay indispensable when things get volatile, manage up through leadership shifts, and use partnerships-style thinking to negotiate your way into the role or company you actually want.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a Finance Manager at Microsoft focused on Cloud and AI infrastructure strategy and investments, with experience across Corporate Development, Strategic Finance, venture investing, and investment banking. I’ve worked on M&A, strategic investments, and capital allocation decisions across AI infrastructure, enterprise software, and emerging technologies, with experience on both the investing and operating sides through roles at firms like J.P. Morgan and T. Rowe Price. Having gone through highly competitive recruiting processes myself and successfully coached candidates, I take a direct, practical approach to help you sharpen your positioning, navigate recruiting strategically, and land roles in finance, corporate development, and investing.

I help finance and accounting professionals take the next step in their careers — whether that's moving from Big 4 / audit into industry, breaking into FP&A or corporate finance, or growing toward senior finance leadership. I've walked that path myself: I started in audit at PwC, qualified as an FCPA, and built my career across FP&A and AI in Finance, including time at AllianzGI APAC. I've coached 200+ finance professionals on career growth, positioning and leadership-readiness — from early-career analysts up to CFOs. My approach is structured and results-driven: clarifying your goals, sharpening how you present your impact, preparing you for interviews, and building a realistic plan to reach the next level. I'm also a CFA Society speaker and currently completing my Executive MBA at Chicago Booth, so I stay close to what today's finance employers and decision-makers actually look for.

I bring more than 20 years of recruiting experience and an honest, behind-the-scenes understanding of how hiring decisions are actually made. I’ve recruited for Google and Meta, led hiring across UFC, WWE, PBR, and IMG at TKO, built internship programs, and advised hundreds of hiring managers across industries and career levels. I’ve interviewed more than 5,000 candidates and reviewed over 25,000 resumes and LinkedIn profiles, so I can quickly identify why someone is being overlooked and what needs to change. I’m also a professional poker player, which has shaped how I coach people to “play their career hand.” I help clients understand the experience they already have, read the hiring table, and present the right evidence at the right time. My coaching covers positioning, resumes, LinkedIn, networking, interviews, and offer negotiation, but the real value is the honest hiring intelligence behind it. I won’t give you generic encouragement or tell you to add more buzzwords. I’ll tell you how recruiters and hiring managers are likely reading your story, where they may see risk, and how to make your value impossible to miss.

I love working to ambitious people who are passionate about building a fulfilling and impactful career.

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS from Vanderbilt University, I bring a wealth of experience in business strategy and operations. As the former Business Strategy & Operations Lead at Google and current Chief of Staff at Verily, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in top-tier tech companies. Over the years, I've mentored numerous professionals, helping them navigate their career paths and achieve their goals. Whether you're looking to break into a competitive industry or advance within your current role, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and actionable insights. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it. (This also involves reframing self-limiting beliefs that have kept you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.) I've worked with tons of clients on both sides of the coin - both those trying to get into the worlds I navigated, and those trying to rediscover a cohesive sense of self and tailored plan for growth, after years or even decades in the corporate world.

I spent 8 years trying to figure out how to climb the corporate ladder and "manage up"; early on in my career, I was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I started establishing relationships with a few helpful mentors, studying for my MBA, and when I volunteered as a Career mentor for undergrad students did I learn from mistakes and start to better understand what was needed to build a successful career. So, utilizing my personal failures and successes, including landing a role as a Sr. Consultant at a Consulting firm, despite applying off-season, and my natural ability to coach, I now help recent undergrads in career development. I particularly enjoy and excel working with recent undergrad students understanding that post graduation is an anxious time, especially for those unsure of their career. Besides providing support and advice, I coach my clients in understanding themselves and determining their goals so that they approach each role confidently and with a strong narrative. Clients of mine have been able to learn sustainable relationship and career building skills, allowing them to make a positive impact in their role and advance in their career.
