About Aniket
Hi, I'm Aniket and I have over 8 years of experience in Data Analytics and Consulting. Through the span of my career, I have worked in different industries where I have built various machine learning models, worked cross functionally with teams, and used data analytics to make key business decisions. I've overcome many different career obstacles in the past, and at one point wasn't sure what I wanted to pursue. Starting out as an engineering project manager, I developed a clear roadmap for myself and effectively networked with many people in the industry to finally make the pivot over to data analytics. Throughout my career I've been both a mentor and a mentee. If you're feeling stuck, need help making a career pivot or getting some career clarity please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Why do I coach?
I coach because it offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on someone’s life by guiding them toward their career goals and helping them break into fields they’re passionate about. There’s nothing quite as fulfilling as being a part of someone’s journey to success, knowing that my support and shared experiences can make a real difference. I’m incredibly passionate about helping others in any way I can, and I believe that the valuable knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career deserves to be passed on. Having personally navigated the challenges of pivoting from a stagnant career into a field I truly love, I know firsthand that it is possible with the right guidance. This drives my desire to help others realize their potential and overcome their own obstacles. Additionally, I’ve greatly benefited from the mentorship and coaching I received throughout my career. These experiences not only shaped my professional growth but also instilled in me a deep sense of empathy for those seeking to establish themselves in their careers. Coaching is my way of giving back and ensuring others have the support and encouragement they need to succeed.
