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.
