About Nik

Described by a senior corporate leader as "a Jedi Master of coaching, by far the best I've ever worked with", I combine 20 years' experience as an executive, leadership and career coach (ICF certified) with 12 years' experience as a top-tier corporate lawyer and investment banker to generate transformational, life-changing personal and career successes for 100s of clients across elite professions and firms worldwide. My coaching success is founded on my track record of sustained excellence and success with the world's leading academic and professional institutions: from winning admission to and graduating from the world's leading schools to securing multiple internship and graduate offers at the world's leading law firms, and successfully pivoting from elite corporate law to investment banking. I've been a trusted adviser to the world's leading corporate, financial, government and entrepreneurial clients and their senior leaders on $billions of market-leading deals, and know what it takes to beat fierce global competition and rise to the top 0.1% at every stage. Beyond my exceptional academic and career record, what truly stands me out is my ability to connect deeply with people at every stage of their career, wherever in the world they're from and whatever their background or circumstances. I've travelled to ~60 countries across every continent, worked in London and Tokyo as an M&A lawyer and investment banker with clients and colleagues on every continent, and coached 100s of clients from every continent across the legal, finance, professional services, corporate, tech and consulting sectors. As someone with multiple under-represented demographic traits, I know what it takes to defy the steepest of odds to succeed at the very highest levels, and have successfully helped numerous clients - many from under-represented demographics themselves - to break into and rise to the highest levels (Director, Partner) of the world's elite corporate and professional services firms (e.g. Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, Weil Gotshal, Clifford Chance, A&O, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, SoftBank).
