About Shaaya

Most career decisions that matter are not obvious in the moment. They look like lateral moves, risky bets, or opportunities that are hard to evaluate from the outside. I’ve spent my career working with founders, operators, and investors at those exact moments. Today, I’m a Managing Director and General Manager at Exit Consulting Group, advising founder-led businesses on growth, transitions, and M&A. Before that, I helped build and scale companies inside AAA’s venture studio. Earlier, I worked in private equity, consulting, and startups, so I’ve seen how decisions get made from both the investor and operator side. What I’ve learned is that most people are not stuck because they lack ability. They are stuck because they are making decisions without a clear strategy. That is where I focus. I work with: Operators who want to step into more senior roles People navigating inflection points like staying, leaving, or changing paths Candidates targeting competitive roles in private equity, strategy, and leadership Our sessions are focused on clarity and positioning. What are you actually optimizing for, and what path gives you the highest probability of getting there? If you are looking for basic resume edits or interview scripts, I am probably not the right fit. If you are trying to make a high-stakes decision or take a more intentional approach to your career, I can help.
