Richard’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
I’m a career coach with firsthand experience navigating bold pivots, rapid growth, and purpose-driven reinvention. Over the past decade, I’ve built a multi-chapter career across consulting, marketing, strategy & operations, and most recently, education. I coach people through career growth through real world experience. I started my career in management consulting at Deloitte, then made the leap into marketing at Stitch Fix, where I was promoted three times to lead a 20+ person team. From there, I transitioned into strategy and business operations, eventually serving as VP of Strategy & Analytics at AllTrails, where I sat on the senior leadership team. Most recently, I’ve followed a long-held passion and pivoted into education, now working as a high school teacher. My strength lies in helping people figure out not just how to grow fast, but how to grow with intention. I understand what it takes to succeed in high-performance environments, but also how to listen inward, redefine success, and take smart, courageous steps towards your passion. And at times, doing the work to understand what that passion is. As a coach, I can help with career transitions, goal-setting, internal growth, job search strategy, interview prep, and thought partnership on what to optimize for in your next chapter. Whether you’re looking to climb or looking to pivot, I’m here to help you find your path, and walk it with confidence. Looking forward to building a tailored plan for your career journey!

About Richard
I’m a business leader, coach, and educator with a career that spans strategy & operations, consulting, education, and purpose-driven career pivots. I specialize in helping people navigate moments of transition: whether you’re stepping into a bigger leadership role, applying to school, or rethinking your career. Additionally, I help businesses in growth mode add structure and forward momentum when hit with ambiguous problems. My own path has taken me through multiple chapters. I started my career in consulting at Deloitte, then pivoted into marketing at Stitch Fix, where I was promoted three times and eventually led a team of 20+. From there, I transitioned into strategy and business operations and rose to VP of Strategy & Analytics at AllTrails and sitting on the senior leadership team. Most recently, I made a values-driven shift into education and now work as a high school teacher. Throughout, I’ve had a consistent through-line: helping people, and businesses, get unstuck, think bigger, and move forward with clarity. I bring a mix of EQ and IQ, blending strategic rigor with empathy and real-world experience across multiple domains. As a coach, I work with professionals at all stages: whether you’re accelerating your current path, navigating a pivot, or looking for more meaning in your work. I also bring years of experience as a mentor, team builder, and strategic advisor to growth businesses, helping business leaders adopt the right structure and thinking to grow. If you’re looking for a thoughtful partner to help you chart your next chapter, with intention and momentum, I’d love to connect and build a tailored plan together.
Why do I coach?
Being a coach is one of the most meaningful ways I know to give back. I’ve been lucky to have mentors who guided me through key inflection points in my life: people who helped me navigate uncertainty, ask better questions, and move forward with purpose. Coaching is my way of paying that forward. I find deep joy in helping people make sense of moments where they are stuck. There’s something incredibly satisfying about using structure (whether it’s a strategic framework, a roadmap, or the right set of prompts) to help unlock clarity and momentum. Watching people grow into the fullest version of themselves is a privilege I don’t take for granted.
