About Rujuta
Hi! I am Rujuta Biware. I have worked as a Technical Program Manager, but my journey started as a Business Analyst and then I pivoted to Management Consulting roles where I got to work with companies like Microsoft, Costco, Disney and F5 Networks. As a consultant I managed several high stakes platform delivery, governance and product launch style programs. It is during that time, I realized that I like managing overall programs, end to end delivery and connecting the dots that aren't easily identifiable and I made another pivot to a full time Program Manager role with very limited Technical background. As I was navigating career changes, I had to figure out which role was suitable for me, learn to adapt quickly to Tech stack, manage stakeholders and deliver results while doing all of this. And I learned smarter and productive ways to manage and grow my career. And that's what I am here to help you! Grow your career with me by working smart, navigate career pivots with ease and confidence.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I didn't have a mentor in my professional life for a long time and that cost me a lot. I had to learn everything from running a meeting to being strategic, on my own and I want to help early-mid career people navigate the work life. I coach because I truly believe in the power of having right people in your corner to help you build a career you want.
