Package Description:

This coaching package is a fast track for early and mid-career engineers pivoting into high-impact roles like Strategy, BizOps, Strategic Finance, or Chief of Staff. We start by translating your technical background into a business-first narrative, stripping away the jargon to highlight your impact on ROI, unit economics, and organizational leverage. I provide a complete overhaul of your resume and LinkedIn to pass the "executive screen," ensuring you look like a strategic leader rather than just a technical executor. Beyond the paperwork, we dive into high-stakes interview prep, mastering the business case studies and "Chief of Staff" situational drills that trip up most engineers. You’ll learn to communicate with C-suite precision—focusing on the "why" instead of the "how"—and gain access to a dedicated toolkit of outreach scripts and business frameworks. Whether you’re a junior engineer eyeing an Associate Strategy role or a Tech Lead ready to be a CEO’s right hand, this program gives you the language, the materials, and the network strategy to bridge the gap.


What you'll get from this package

The "Pivot-Ready" Resume & LinkedIn: A complete overhaul that replaces technical jargon with business outcomes like ROI, CAC/LTV, and operational efficiency.

The Executive Narrative: A polished, 60-second "Elevator Pitch" that explains exactly why an engineer is the best person for a Chief of Staff or Strategy role.

The Business Case Playbook: A repeatable framework for solving business case studies and P&L drills—the "algorithms" of the business interview.

The Strategic Networking Vault: A curated list of target companies and "warm-outreach" templates proven to get responses from VPs and COOs.

The Role-Specific Recruiting Playbook: A step-by-step manual that maps your technical "spikes" to the precise interview frameworks and networking strategies required for Strategy, BizOps, or Chief of Staff roles.


Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

My approach is highly structured, treating your career pivot like a product launch. We’ll move through a phased roadmap—from the initial "Technical-to-Business Audit" to mock "Chief of Staff" interview drills—ensuring every deliverable is built on a foundation of business logic. I provide the frameworks, the playbooks, and the accountability needed to help you navigate the transition with zero guesswork.
