Experience level: Manager
10+ people coached for Business Development & Partnerships
Annette has helped clients get into these companies:
I’m an experienced business development and partnerships professional with 4+ years of experience across Fortune 500 companies in entertainment, streaming, and tech. I began my career at Disney, working across Marvel Studios, Disney+, Hulu, and Disney Channels, where I built global marketing partnerships and supported the growth of the streaming business. I later transitioned into advertising technology, where I became the youngest manager in company history and led multi-million dollar partnerships across industries including tech, travel, automotive, and retail. I have negotiated and secured first-of-their-kind deals with leading technology companies. Today, I work at Walmart, building strategic partnerships with some of the largest tech and social platforms in the world within a multi-billion dollar retail media ecosystem. Alongside my corporate career, I have helped students, early career, and experienced professionals land interviews and secure roles at companies like JP Morgan, Robinhood, Disney, Amazon, Google, Netflix, and Microsoft. I truly believe most people are far more capable than they realize, but often need the right guidance to unlock their potential. I help people refine their narratives and connect the dots across their experiences so their story is clear, compelling, and impossible to overlook. At the end of the day, the people who land the job are not always the smartest, but the ones who know how to tell their story best.
