Career Coaching

I bring a unique blend of HR leadership, talent development, certified coaching training, and higher education experience to my career development work. My exposure is diverse, having worked across the Tech, Entertainment, Corporate Real Estate, Financial Services, and Hospitality industries, at small startups and F500 companies alike. Before I was a coach, I was the person in the room making decisions about who gets promoted, who gets managed out, and who gets the stretch assignment. I served as Head of People at a Series C Fintech, building on a career in Leadership & Talent Development, primarily for high potentials from early career all the way up to C-Suite and founders. I hold an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential and completed training through the Center for Executive Coaching. I coach the way I'd want to be coached: direct, honest, and grounded in your actual situation. I work with professionals who are navigating career inflection points - from feeling stuck or misaligned in their current role to figuring out how to grow internally or pivot into something that actually fits. Together, we cut through the noise, clarify what you want, and build a plan that’s grounded in your values, strengths, and real-world possibilities.

Hello I’m Amos, and I help high-achievers navigate career pivots with a mindful lens, MBA admissions, and a more grounded, sustainable way to succeed. I’m a Harvard MBA and Fulbright Scholar, and I was also accepted to Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan, Columbia, and Yale SOM, and was a Gates Cambridge and Yenching Academy finalist. I’ve spent much of my life searching for meaning and purpose, from Wall Street to the U.S. Army, to NGOs and humanitarian aid, and development finance across East Africa and conflict-affected regions of the Middle East. Across these experiences, one theme has consistently emerged: external success, money, and even impact don’t automatically translate into fulfillment. Fulfillment is an internal journey, one that requires reflection not just in the mind, but in the body as well. I believe coaching isn’t just about optimizing your next move or chasing the right title. It’s an opportunity to slow down and honestly reflect on: - What actually matters to you - What kind of life you want to be living, not just what looks good on paper - How to pursue ambition without burning yourself out or losing yourself along the way I help people combine practical strategy with presence and embodiment, so progress doesn’t just look good, it actually feels right. Together, we turn your goals into concrete actions while staying connected to your values, nervous system, and sense of meaning. When helpful, this may include meditation, somatic practices, or yoga. Wherever you are in your career, education, or life transition, my goal is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and deeper alignment. Here are some of the ways I work with clients: - Career pivots and major decision-making - Building resilience and preventing burnout in demanding roles - MBA, prestigious fellowship, and service academy admissions - School selection, essay ideation, and interview preparation Life isn’t easy, and it isn’t supposed to be. But if you’re serious about building a life that feels both meaningful and ambitious, I’d love to explore what that could look like together. Feel free to reach out or schedule a no-pressure conversation to see if this work feels like a good fit.

I’ve spent the past decade helping people navigate the moments in their career where clarity really matters - choosing their next role, redefining their path, or figuring out how to move forward when things feel uncertain. My background spans consulting, startups, product leadership, fractional executive work, and coaching founders and operators across industries. Along the way I’ve become a go-to person for helping others understand what they want, articulate their strengths, and make grounded decisions about their future. My coaching is practical, structured, and human. I help you slow down the noise, understand your options, and build a clear plan you can trust. Whether you’re exploring a new direction, preparing for interviews, repositioning your story, or trying to break into a new industry, I bring calm, clarity, and honest guidance. My goal is simple: help you make decisions you feel good about and move toward opportunities that actually fit who you are.

I’m a Senior Engineering Manager at Adobe with over 20 years of experience leading teams, driving innovation, and creating solutions that impact millions of users worldwide. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with brilliant minds to build cutting-edge products and lead high-performance teams. In addition to my technical expertise, I’m deeply passionate about coaching and mentoring individuals to unlock their full potential. I’ve worked with engineers and managers to accelerate their growth, navigate career transitions, and enhance their leadership skills. My approach is rooted in active listening, empathy, and tailored guidance that aligns with each individual’s strengths and aspirations.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in strategy and innovation from top-tier companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and KPMG, I bring a wealth of experience to my career development coaching. As a Wharton MBA candidate and former admissions fellow, I understand the nuances of career progression and leadership development. I've successfully coached 100+ individuals, helping them navigate their career paths and achieve their professional goals. Whether you're looking to break into a new industry or climb the corporate ladder, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I have previously supported undergraduate students in developing their interests, resume, their motivational letters, and their overall story line. I also help them prepare for interviews using structured answer methods. My mentees have all gotten offers from their dream companies, including Big 4 consultancies.

I've spent 12+ years in technology and have made many of the career transitions I now enjoy helping others navigate: IT consulting → Sales Engineering → Solutions Architecture → AI → Product leadership. Along the way I've worked everywhere from 9-person companies to MongoDB and AWS, joined Poolside as an early employee, built a global Solutions Architecture team from 0 to 7, and eventually moved into Product leadership. I've hired and interviewed candidates, built hiring processes and interview loops, negotiated compensation, and gone through extensive interview processes myself across Big Tech and startups. I'm particularly well suited to helping people break into or advance within technical, Product, Solutions, cloud, and AI careers. Whether you're choosing between opportunities, repositioning your experience for a career change, preparing for interviews, improving your resume, or negotiating an offer, my goal is to give you practical advice from someone who has actually been on both sides of the table.

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

I've reinvented my career more than once, and I'm here to help you do the same. I've gone from liberal arts background --> big tech --> nonprofits --> MBA --> management consulting --> influencer marketing --> VC-backed AI startup. Each pivot came with its own uncertainty, self-doubt, and steep learning curve. And each one taught me something I now bring to my coaching. Over the years, I've noticed a pattern: ambitious people who know something needs to change but feel too scattered, anxious, or overwhelmed to act. They have clarity but no capacity. Or capacity but no clarity. As a certified life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and energy healing practitioner — with a Dartmouth MBA and over a decade in high-pressure environments — I bring together career clarity work with nervous system regulation and contemplative practice. It's a combination I haven't seen anywhere else, and it's the one I wish I'd had during my own pivots. I work with operators, founders, consultants, and ambitious professionals who are: • Navigating career transitions or pivots • Feeling misaligned or stuck • Ready to take on their next big professional challenge • Committed to building sustainable success over chasing impressive titles If you're trying to break into AI, make the leap from consulting to tech, or simply figure out what's next, I'd love to help you get there with both the strategy and the inner steadiness to pull it off.

Over the last six years, I have coached hundreds of students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for the job search. I work with applicants from resume creation to interviews to navigating negotiations and offers, and I can't wait to do the same with you. Whether you're just entering the workforce, or you're just looking to revamp your materials and prepare for new opportunities, I'm confident that my coaching experience will be an asset to you. My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the employers. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!
