About Stefan
[NOTE]: Please DM me if you want to schedule sessions/an intro call, so I can plan accordingly.
Why do I coach?
As I was pivoting out of academia, I struggled to find people who had taken a similar path. This forced me to try and navigate that uncertain road mostly by myself. I coach because I want to be the person I wish I could have met when I was first deciding to pursue a job in industry.
