Breaking into e-commerce and DTC startups from big corporate or strategy roles is rarely about raw capability. It's about how you position your experience, signal startup readiness, and get in front of the right people. This session is designed to help you translate your background into language that DTC founders and hiring managers actually respond to, while avoiding common mistakes that block strong candidates from getting traction. This is not generic career coaching, it's a practical positioning and execution session grounded in how DTC teams really hire.

Startup Operator with 8+ Years Scaling People and Business Processes
I’ve spent 8+ years working across 7+ startups after beginning my career in traditional corporate roles supporting Fortune 500 companies. I intentionally moved into startups to do more tangible, high-impact work and understand firsthand the challenges of transitioning into fast-moving, unstructured environments. I’ve operated across early-stage and high-growth companies and bring a practical operator’s lens to coaching. I've provided coaching on the below topics: • Working cross-functionally in highly matrixed organizations to drive decisions without clear structure • Operating effectively in companies with under 10 employees, ~200 employees, and 1,000+ employees • Hiring, building, and scaling teams as companies grow • Translating corporate experience into startup-ready impact • Helping candidates identify areas of opportunity in a business/team and add value immediately
