Coaching delivered via live sessions.
My coaching approach is structured, strategic, and deeply personalized. I work with clients who want clarity, confidence, and a practical plan not generic advice or surface-level feedback. We begin by understanding your background, goals, and constraints. Rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all path, I help you identify where your skills, experience, and interests realistically align within investment banking and finance. From there, we build a focused strategy that makes sense for you. Sessions are highly interactive and tailored to your needs. I challenge assumptions, refine how you communicate your story, and help you think more strategically about decisions and trade offs. My style is direct but supportive. I provide honest feedback, clear frameworks, and actionable guidance you can apply immediately. Between sessions, I emphasize reflection and execution so progress continues beyond our time together. What sets my coaching apart is the blend of strategy, storytelling, and performance. Clients don’t just leave with information, they leave with clarity, confidence, and a repeatable way of thinking that serves them beyond a single recruiting cycle.

Former Merrill Lynch Director | IB & Hiring Experience | Career Coach
With a robust background in finance and investment banking, I bring over two decades of experience to my coaching practice. As a former Director at Merrill Lynch, I led numerous IPOs and raised over $1B for Asian companies, working closely with top institutional funds such as Fidelity and Vanguard. In addition to my transactional experience, I was involved in interviewing and evaluating candidates as part of the hiring process, giving me firsthand insight into how banks assess talent. My expertise extends to coaching startup founders and C-suite executives, empowering them to unlock their full potential and thrive in dynamic environments. Whether you’re aiming to break into investment banking or advance your career, I help clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence. Let’s connect and chart your path to success
