Bryan’s College Qualifications

50+ people coached for College

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

During my time @ U.C. Berkeley, I founded a college admissions agency and helped hundreds of students land spots at UCs and various Ivies. After selling it to a national college counseling agency (now an AI-native platform), I thought I was done with the admissions game for good. But here we are. In particular, I'm here to help you think and sharpen where you want to be WHILE you're in college, and even beyond. Getting into a great school is only a fraction of what's needed to be successful, and I'd love to be your partner in thinking through how to best leverage your interests and strengths ... and the ideal programs, communities, and opportunities that will maximize your edge. If you're interested: let's chat.

About Bryan

Hi there! I'm Bryan, a coach @ Leland and operating executive, investor, and startup nerd. I've built my career advising founders and senior leaders from Google to Seed to Series A/B/C startups. I previously served as Chief of Staff @ Forage, a startup on a mission to modernize the U.S. social safety net, where I led back-to-back fundraising and investor relations and built our sales, go-to-market, marketing, strategic finance, and customer success functions from scratch. I'm currently leading Business Operations @ Gigs, a startup that's building Stripe for Telecom. On the side, I'm a General and Managing Partner @ OAS, an independent, anti-disciplinary strategy practice that is equal parts consultancy, think tank, and venture fund. I've been the first checks in incredible founders @ Doji, MeAgain, and a couple other exciting startups, and advise generational clients like Discord, Netflix, Prada, and Chanel (among many others) on everything from brand strategy and go-to-market to cultural forecasting and insights. If you're looking for someone who can give you deep counsel, expand your network, optimize your CV, and craft a compelling personal and professional narrative -- I'd love to chat.

Why do I coach?

I wouldn't be where I am today without my coaches and mentors. Whether it's helping you understand your strengths (and weaknesses), connecting you to the right people, being as tactical as you need, or a shoulder you can lean on: support is critical to success, and I'm here for you.
