Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! With a rich background in career development and education, I bring a unique blend of experience to help you achieve your professional goals. As a Program Manager at UC Davis, I designed and implemented career development curricula and facilitated training sessions for groups of up to 100+, achieving over 90% satisfaction rates. I have coached over 50 managers and supervisors in team development, and I am passionate about helping individuals unlock their potential and navigate their career paths. Let's connect and create a tailored plan to elevate your career!

My career has been intentionally non-linear. I’ve worked across banking, venture capital, startup CFO roles, and now manage a $400M+ hedge fund. I’ve made multiple pivots — some planned, some uncertain at the time — and understand how to reposition experience, communicate transferable skills, and move into roles that don’t look obvious on paper. If you’re thinking about breaking into finance, moving from operator to investor, pivoting industries, or leveling up into leadership roles, I focus on strategy first. We’ll clarify where you want to go, what narrative supports that move, and how to execute with credibility.

I work with senior leaders and executives navigating pivotal career moments - stepping into bigger roles, leading through organizational change, or clarifying their next strategic move. My approach focuses on helping you strengthen your leadership presence, sharpen your decision-making, and build the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re in your first 90 days as a VP, working through complex team dynamics, managing increased responsibility, or determining your next career chapter, I create space to think strategically about how you show up and lead. With over a decade at Microsoft coaching executives through transitions and serving in governance leadership at Bowdoin College, I understand the unique pressures of senior roles - the isolation, the weight of decisions, and the need for a trusted space to think out loud. I specialize in: ∙ Leadership transitions: Navigating new roles at the VP/executive level with clarity and intention ∙ Career strategy: Making sense of competing opportunities and aligning decisions with your values and goals ∙ Executive presence: Strengthening how you communicate, influence, and show up in high-stakes environments ∙ Organizational navigation: Understanding power dynamics, building strategic relationships, and leading effectively across complex organizations This isn’t formulaic career advice - it’s grounded, practical support for leaders who need clarity on what matters next and how to get there.

If you want to be a better CEO of your own life, you've come to the right place. My approach to coaching stems from the belief that the relationship we have with ourselves reverberates across every other part of our lives. To reach your most ambitious goals, therefore, requires conscientious cultivation of healthy, empowering self-partnership. My practice combines Alderian Psychology, Virtue Ethics, and Applied Positive Psychology with a focus on human flourishing. Some of the primary pain points I address are: negative self talk, limiting beliefs, burn out, lack of self trust, purposelessness, unhealthy communication patterns, uncertainty about next steps, managing stress, aligned decision making, and failure to take consistent action to achieve goals. Prior to coaching, I spent 8+ years as a 3x founder in B2B climate fintech, consulting, and fiscal literacy; 14+ years as a workshop facilitator & educator; and 5 years as an international speaker. Since starting Mountain Tops Consulting, I have coached 18 professionals and facilitated 200+ hours of executive masterminds, 60 development workshops, and 5 leadership retreats. I currently lead programming at the Entrepreneur House of San Diego, the mission of which is to maximize founders’ personal and professional growth. Our work together will include: ✓ Performance & satisfaction assessments per category of life ✓ Identification & correction of limiting beliefs per category of life ✓ Clarification of key motivators & goals ✓ Identifying & amplifying Super Powers ✓ Goals achievement strategy ✓ Custom Development Dashboard (the Motherboard) that tracks behavioral patterns, themes of failure, blind spots, and monthly / quarterly / annual goal progress ✓ Accountability checks ✓ Support in navigating day to day professional & personal conflicts My life's work is to help people achieve their most ambitious personal and professional summits. Let's figure out what that looks like for you.

I've made every major career move without a playbook, city government to Goldman Sachs, Goldman to a failed startup, startup to Disney where I now lead AI engineering. Each jump was different and each one taught me something about knowing when to stay, when to go, and how to position yourself for roles that actually fit. I help tech professionals and leaders with career transitions, interview strategy, and figuring out what they want next. Whether you're eyeing VP, pivoting into AI - I've been through it and I coach from experience, not a textbook.

I’ve navigated competitive career paths from both sides: as a candidate pursuing finance roles, and as an investor evaluating people, companies, and opportunities professionally. I have 4+ years of experience across Growth Equity, Venture Capital, and Private Equity, most recently as a Technology Investor at Summit Partners, where I was promoted early. I also graduated from Harvard, where I designed and taught a semester-long Venture Capital course to 100+ undergraduates. My coaching is especially valuable for people pursuing finance, consulting, investing, startups, or broader business roles because I can help them clarify what they actually want from a job, understand how different career paths and company environments compare, and think through opportunities using perspective from my network across tech, operating companies, startups, consulting, finance, and investing. From there, I help clients sharpen their story, prepare for interviews, and make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.

I have coached and mentored students and early-career professionals across universities such as GBSB Global Business School, ESADE and MSMK University, mainly supporting candidates with under five years of experience. My work has focused on helping students clarify their career direction, improve their CVs and LinkedIn profiles, prepare for interviews, and build a stronger narrative around their experience, skills and goals. Alongside my coaching work, I bring 15+ years of international experience across marketing, business development, startups, SaaS, AI, healthtech, consumer goods and education. This allows me to help candidates connect their academic background with real market opportunities and make more confident career decisions.
