About Jack
Graduate from the University at Buffalo working in Product Management at M&T Bank. I understand how hard it can be to figure out what you want to do with your life coming out of college. I remember feeling overwhelmed at all of the options, questioning if the choice I was making the right one for me. Thanks to some good mentors and a very good career coach, I decided on pursuing a career in Product Management. I have experience coaching college students, managing payments products, and advising fintech startups on GTM strategy.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how powerful the right guidance can be in shaping careers and unlocking opportunities. Throughout my own journey—navigating competitive recruiting, advancing in financial services, and breaking into product management—I’ve seen firsthand how mentorship accelerates growth. The insights and strategies I’ve gained from mentors helped me overcome challenges, land opportunities, and build a career with confidence. Now, I want to pay that forward. Whether you're preparing for consulting interviews, optimizing your business school applications, or navigating career transitions, I’m here to provide the structured guidance, insider knowledge, and actionable strategies to help you achieve your goals. My approach is hands-on, results-driven, and tailored to your unique path. Let’s work together to turn your ambitions into reality.
