Becka’s Life Coaching Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
For a long time, I was very good at achieving things I wasn't sure I actually wanted. Consulting, competitive programs, the right résumé moves. I kept hitting milestones and kept feeling like something was slightly off. It took a lot of honest reflection and a willingness to make some unconventional choices before I started building a life that felt genuinely mine. That path — from optimizing for external validation to making decisions rooted in actual values is what I help clients navigate. I've relocated internationally, changed industries, made career bets that didn't follow the obvious script, and learned how to get comfortable with choices that don't have a clear benchmark. I work best with high-achievers who are succeeding by most measures but quietly wondering if they're building toward the right thing. My approach is direct and grounded: we figure out what you actually want, identify what's getting in the way, and build a clearer path forward.

About Becka
I didn't follow a straight path into product or business school, and that's exactly why I coach. Early in my career, I did what a lot of high-achievers do: I checked the right boxes. I worked in consulting, pushed myself into competitive environments, and eventually made my way to Stanford GSB. On paper, things looked like they were working. Behind the scenes, I was constantly asking myself if I was making the right decisions. After business school, I joined Nubank as a Product Manager, where I worked on products used by millions of customers across Latin America. It was fast, ambiguous, and high-stakes; it forced me to get honest about how I make decisions, how I communicate, and what actually drives impact versus what just looks impressive. I'm now a Staff Product Manager leading international growth at Nubank, working to expand one of the world's largest digital banks into new markets across Latin America and beyond. I work best with people who are thoughtful, ambitious, and a little stuck — whether they're trying to break into product, get into top business schools, or figure out what their next move should be. My style is direct and practical: I'll help you cut through the noise, make better decisions, and move forward with clarity. Outside of work, I've lived and worked across different countries. I care a lot about building a life that's not just successful on paper, but actually feels good to live day-to-day. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect — feel free to book an intro call.
Why do I coach?
I coach because my greatest joy in life is to help others reach their fullest potential. I am trained as a coach through Stanford GSB's Arbuckle Fellows Program, where I am officially a coach to other students and also have taken on outside clients. During the admissions process, I also used an admissions coach who was incredibly helpful in my process. I strongly believe that if it wasn't for my coach, I would not have been able to navigate this process and secure my admission to the business school of my dreams. It would be my honor to be a part of your admissions process journey and help you succeed.
Work Experience

Staff Product Manager
Nubank
December 2023 - Present
Interviewer
I lead the growth squad on Nubank's international expansion team, working to bring one of the world's largest digital financial platforms to new markets. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, market entry, and cross-functional execution — operating remotely across time zones with a team primarily based in the Americas. In two years I was promoted from IC6 to IC7 (Staff PM), a reflection of the scope I've taken on and my ability to drive outcomes in high-ambiguity environments where the playbook doesn't yet exist. This role has sharpened my ability to lead without authority, communicate across cultural and organizational lines, and build clarity from chaos — skills I now bring into coaching conversations with professionals navigating complex, fast-moving careers.
