My qualifications are rooted in the reality of navigating Silicon Valley’s most competitive environments, including 13 years at Google where I served on the Hiring Committee for five years. That experience gave me an insider’s view on exactly what separates a "good" candidate from a "hired" one, allowing me to successfully prepare many individuals for the interview process. Beyond getting people in the door, I have guided dozens of employees through the rigorous path to promotion, helping them master the executive narratives and strategic roadmaps required to level up. I remain in close contact with many of these mentees today, a testament to the lasting impact of our work together. My approach is built on the fact that I have lived this journey, extracting the lessons from my own rapid career progression to offer you actionable, battle-tested advice. I know the difference between working hard and working strategically, and I can help you identify the specific levers that will accelerate your growth. I lead with empathy and experience, meeting you where you are to help you navigate your next career move with confidence.
