I've coached dozens of clients through career transitions, from fields as diverse as sports management and hedge funds into everything from food & wine to venture capital. I excel at helping clients make non-traditional pivots into more fulfilling and rewarding careers. My approach is inspired by my own series of transitions, from studying economics in undergrad to the Army Special Forces to investing at a deep tech venture capital firm to becoming a full-time coach. I draw on depth psychology and a variety of contemplative traditions to help clients find clarity and conviction in their next move.

I’m a first-generation college graduate who built a career in management consulting and strategy without an MBA or a target school. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across Deloitte, Kearney, and enterprise SaaS, and I now lead global customer strategy at Workday. Every role I’ve landed came through a connection, including roles that typically require the pedigree I didn’t have. I’m passionate about helping professionals build their networks before they need them. Whether you’re navigating an industry being reshaped by AI or simply want to know that if everything changed tomorrow, you’d have someone to call, a strong network is your best insurance policy. I specialize in: - Breaking into consulting and strategy roles - Building a network to switch roles internally - Positioning yourself for promotion My approach is hands-on. We’ll review your network, build a plan, and I’ll coach you through the outreach that actually moves the needle. I’ve coached 50+ people through networking, interviews, and offer negotiation.

I’m a strategy and finance professional with experience across investment banking, consulting, corporate strategy, and M&A. Throughout my career, I’ve worked at highly competitive firms including Goldman Sachs, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte, and earned my MBA from The Wharton School as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of the graduating class). I currently work in internal strategy and M&A while also advising and assisting venture-backed and high-growth companies on strategic and operational initiatives. In addition to my professional background, I’m passionate about mentoring and helping students and young professionals navigate recruiting and career development. I’ve coached more than 500 candidates across investment banking, consulting, corporate strategy, private equity, and finance-related roles, helping them successfully secure internships and full-time offers. My coaching experience includes resume and LinkedIn reviews, networking strategy, behavioral and technical interview prep, casing, presentation and deck-building guidance, essay editing, internship preparation, and overall career strategy. I focus on providing honest, practical, and highly personalized guidance to help candidates build confidence, improve performance, and position themselves competitively throughout the recruiting process.

Hi! Why should you work with me, you ask? I’ve spent the last 10 years coaching people both formally and informally, and it’s consistently been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I’ve built my professional experience leading sales, advertising, and client growth teams at huge companies like Google and Target, and today, as a Director at Target/Roundel, I lead a team of Account Executives and Account Managers responsible for a $XXXM business. Throughout my career, I’ve coached people through career decisions, promotion readiness, leadership development, executive presence, interview preparation, and how to show up more strategically in their roles. I’ve hired and interviewed talent, led performance and development conversations, built individualized growth plans, and helped people get clearer on what they need to demonstrate to reach the next level. Personally, I was promoted 4 times during my tenure at Google, which you probably know is notorious for difficult interviews and promotion processes! My coaching style is honest, practical, and supportive. I’m not here to give you generic career advice or tell you what you want to hear. I want to understand where you are, where you want to go, and help you figure out what will actually move you forward. Sometimes that means sharpening your story, sometimes it means building a new skill or increasing your visibility, and sometimes it means being honest about what still needs to develop. My goal is for you to leave our conversations feeling clearer, more confident, and with a practical plan you can actually use. I want you to understand not only what your next step is, but why it matters and how to get there.

I help professionals turn strong experience into clear, credible positioning that hiring teams understand and remember. As a former Amazon Hiring Manager, I conducted 150+ interviews and learned first-hand how companies evaluate evidence, leadership potential, career progression, and readiness for more senior roles.

Over the past five years, I have coached 300+ professionals internationally, from graduates and career changers to managers and senior leaders. I support clients with interview preparation, STAR and competency stories, CV and LinkedIn positioning, career strategy, promotion cases, and salary negotiation. My approach is practical and direct: we identify what is holding you back, translate your experience into persuasive evidence, and leave each session with specific actions you can use immediately.
