The games industry can feel like a black box: exciting but hard to enter. I’ve been on the inside for 20+ years at Microsoft, shipping franchises like Halo, Forza Motorsport, and Mass Effect. I know what hiring managers and recruiters are really looking for, and I can help you stand out. In this package, we’ll work together to: • Get personalized feedback on your resume and LinkedIn profile to showcase your strengths. • Map your career path and identify how your unique skills translate into gaming roles. • Develop job search strategies that actually get traction in a competitive industry. • Prepare for interviews with coaching and insider perspective on what studios expect. • Understand the cultural differences between tech and games, so you know how to adapt. • Debunk common myths about breaking into games (and explore smarter pathways). • Learn what hiring managers and recruiters really notice when reviewing candidates. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap, a sharper professional story, and the confidence to break into one of the most exciting industries in the world.

Former Microsoft Gaming Exec to Coach: Helping You Grow and Pivot
I know what it takes to make bold career moves because I’ve made them myself. Over my 20+ years at Microsoft, I successfully transitioned industries—from core tech to gaming—and disciplines—from engineering into product management and production. Each change required navigating uncertainty, building new skills, and proving myself in unfamiliar spaces. That lived experience helps me guide clients who are considering their own pivots, whether into a new role, company, or industry. As a hiring manager and leader, I’ve recruited, mentored, and developed talent at every stage of their careers. I’ve helped direct reports earn promotions, coached team members into leadership roles, and now work with coaching clients who are designing more fulfilling and impactful paths forward. If you’re ready to grow your career, pivot into something new, or step into leadership with confidence, I can help you make that transition with clarity and momentum.
