About Elena
Hi! It's great to meet you - I'm Elena. I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, and have lived in LA, NYC, and Bay Area. I started my journey in startups and finance, and have since pivoted to tech in a career that more closely aligns with my values to create impact. Excited to work together!
Why do I coach?
I pivoted from finance to tech early on in my career. Mentorship is something important to me and I’ve been lucky to have so many mentors who have passed down their knowledge. I would love to pass it forward and help other students (especially other F-1 students) land APM/PM roles – especially those coming from non-technical backgrounds.
