The “Breaking into Startups” package is for people looking to break into chief of staff, business operations, strategy, sales, or corporate development roles at venture-backed startups – regardless of background or experience level.

When relevant, I’ll also make targeted introductions and share practical insights from real startup operating experience. The goal is to give you clear direction, actionable tools, and the confidence to land the role you want.

From McKinsey to Startups | Coaching Others to Make the Same Leap
Four years ago, I made the leap from McKinsey into the startup world, and I've been helping others do the same ever since. Today, I lead Strategy and Corporate Development at a tech company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Silver Lake, and others. I manage a team overseeing FP&A, M&A, go-to-market strategy, fundraising, and investor relations, and I've helped raise eight figures of private capital along the way. I was the company's first commercial hire and grew from Director to SVP in 2.5 years, so I know what it takes to stand out and scale quickly in high-growth environments. Through coaching, I've helped dozens of candidates land interviews and offers at exciting technology startups (especially in media and sports) via crafting narratives, translating their experience, and navigating the hiring process with confidence.
