Career Coaching

I spent 20+ years building and leading product and design teams, including as CPO at Hightail, Head of Product at FutureAdvisor (acquired by BlackRock), and Head of Product at Lyra Health. I've hired and managed hundreds of product managers and designers, which means I've sat on the other side of the table reading the resumes, screening the candidates, and making the calls. I know what actually moves a hiring decision and what just looks good on paper. Since 2020 I've coached 100+ product and design leaders across 60+ companies, from first-time managers to CPOs. Career inflection points, whether a layoff, a stalled search, or a hard pivot, are rarely about your ability. My job is to help you make sense of the moment, sharpen how you tell your story, and keep momentum until you land the right next thing. I've navigated these transitions myself, and I treat your time as the scarce thing it is.

Welcome to my profile! With a diverse background spanning AI, healthcare, and venture capital, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a Principal Program Manager Lead in AI at Mercor, I lead large-scale projects and drive innovation, while my time at Boston Consulting Group honed my strategic skills across AI and biopharma. I've also been an active investor and advisor in deep tech and biotech, providing me with unique insights into emerging industries. Having coached over 100 individuals, I specialize in helping clients navigate complex career paths and achieve their professional goals. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

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.

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.

With over 20 years of experience in coaching and consulting, I specialize in helping tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders achieve their career goals and excel in high-performance environments. As the founder of Brett Greene Coaching, I have guided countless individuals, including those with ADHD, to develop practical systems for focus, execution, and professional growth.
