About Christopher
I’m Chris Woodfolk, a strategist, storyteller, and recent MBA grad from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. I started my career at LendingTree, where I worked on corporate strategy and product innovation to improve the digital membership experience for millions of users. After several years in fintech, I earned my MBA and interned at Nike, focusing on digital engagement and member experience strategy for one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands. But beyond the roles and titles, I’ve always been someone who values helping others succeed. I know what it’s like to come from a nontraditional background and still aim for big opportunities, and I’ve built a career by learning how to tell that story well. Outside of work, I serve on nonprofit boards that support mental health and youth development, and I’m passionate about sneakers, lacrosse, and building brands that make a difference.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how transformative the MBA journey can be, but also how overwhelming it can feel to navigate alone. I didn’t come from a traditional feeder industry, and I remember the stress of trying to tell my story in a way that felt both authentic and strategic. What made all the difference for me were the mentors and coaches who helped me connect the dots, refine my narrative, and believe that my background was an asset, not a limitation. Now, I coach to pay that forward. Whether you're changing industries, aiming for a top internship, or simply trying to make sense of your own story, I’m here to be the thoughtful and strategic partner I wish I had even earlier in my process. Helping others succeed, and feel confident doing it, is incredibly meaningful to me.
