About Shashank
True professional growth happens when you learn how to master complex corporate systems while maintaining your authentic personal perspective. My career is anchored in driving global operational excellence and scaling cross-functional impact. As a Senior Program Manager at Google, I lead global vendor operations for YouTube's Trust and Safety division, a role that requires balancing high-stakes strategic alignment with international operational execution. This analytical foundation was further built through executive education at Michigan Ross, which provided me with deep organizational insights and structured problem-solving methodologies. Parallel to my corporate career, I own a professional portrait photography business. Navigating both a highly analytical tech environment and a deeply creative, human-centered business gives me a unique vantage point. I know how to help you synthesize your technical expertise with a compelling leadership presence, allowing you to successfully manage major career transitions and scale your organizational influence.
Why do I coach?
Coaching is the one part in our life where we can get the support we need. Once you are out of school there is rarely an opportunity to have someone in your corner who can help you navigate the complexity of being an adult in this present day. Most of us don't know that a coach could help and some don't believe that they can benefit from having a coaching relationship. Some truly believe they don't deserve a coach. You do! I coach to help professionals unlock sustainable career progression and position themselves for high-impact leadership roles. I focus on equipping you with the strategic tools necessary to manage senior stakeholder relationships, optimize your daily performance, and confidently direct your own career path. Our sessions are co-designed partnerships. We focus on figuring out ways through the obstacles and beliefs we have built restricting you from unlocking your executive presence, establishing high-performance operational systems, and creating a cohesive strategy that integrates your professional ambitions with your personal life. My goal is to ensure you possess the clarity, framework, and momentum needed to execute your highest goals.
