I've reinvented my career more times than I can count, and every single pivot meant entering both a new function and a new market. I started in marketing in Taiwan, moved into chief of staff and e-commerce operations, then joined Google, first in product operations in Hong Kong covering APAC, then in sales for China. Later, I transitioned into product management with no technical background, eventually becoming a Senior Technical PM at Amazon in New York. Along the way, I co-founded a consulting firm, published two books, and recently left corporate to launch my own startup. No transition came with a clear roadmap. I know what it feels like to be stuck, uncertain, and wondering "what's next?" I hold an MBA from Wharton, a Master's in Education from Penn, and am a professionally trained Co-Active coach. My approach isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you organize your thoughts, see your options more clearly, and make decisions that feel right for you. If you're navigating a career change, feeling stuck, or figuring out your next chapter, I've been there, and I'd be glad to help.

I'm on a mission to help high-achievers stop drifting through their careers and start designing them. I bring something most career coaches don't: a decade-plus inside one of the most high-profile, high-performance companies in the world. At Salesforce, I wasn't just observing what career growth looks like inside a complex enterprise. I was building the systems, designing the programs, and influencing the strategy that helped more than 9,000 employees take ownership of their development, navigate change, and make intentional moves forward. What I learned is that success in corporate environments isn't just about talent. It's about clarity, visibility, and knowing how to advocate for your own value. Most high-achievers have the talent. What they're often missing is the roadmap. That's the work I do now. As the Founder of Kelly Nash & Co., I work as a Career Alignment Coach and Branding Strategist for accomplished professionals who feel stuck, undervalued, or misaligned, often at a pivotal moment of transition. My "coachsulting" approach blends deep career clarity work, strategic personal branding and positioning, and practical job search and advancement strategy. Those I've supported have gone on to land roles at companies like Google, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Kroger, and Included Health. I'm also the Founder of Lipstick & Ink®, a career platform built to help women assert their influence, build confidence, and show up as their most authentic selves at work.

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.

I have experience coaching entrepreneurs, engineers, lawyers, doctors, artists, and public servants to advocate for themselves more effectively in high-stakes professional conversations: nailing behavioral interviews, negotiating salary raises, delivering difficult feedback, asking for support from higher-ups, and more. I've trained and taught under the Getting to Yes lineage anchored at Harvard Law School, and am up to speed on the sharpest tools for negotiation and difficult conversations. I pair this with my training in psychological and somatic tools to make sure your nervous system is grounded enough to land the plan as we build it together.
