Welcome! Having navigated the paths of Harvard Business School, McKinsey (top 5% ranked Manager), and product strategy at Google, I know first-hand the challenges of joining and operating in highly competitive organizations. My coachees appreciate that I share tactical, "high signal, low noise" advice to help them navigate tricky workplace situations, land their next big role, or gain admission to top MBA programs. I’ve used these insights to successfully coach 20+ individuals, helping them identify exactly what works—and what to avoid—to reach their goals. Let's connect and think through your next best action together.
