Pivoting from PE to Startups | Chief of Staff, BizOps, StratFin
I specialize in helping finance professionals - particularly those coming from private equity or investment banking - transition into high-impact roles at technology startups. With hands-on experience across PE, strategy, operations, strategic finance, and leadership roles in high-growth SaaS, I understand how to translate an investment-driven background into real operational and strategic value creation at a startup. My coaching covers the full arc: identifying your optimal role and stage fit (Chief of Staff, BizOps, Strategy, Strategic Finance, or Corp Dev - at early, mid, or late-stage companies), building a compelling transition narrative, repositioning your experience for the roles you're targeting, and preparing you to interview with confidence. I combine practical frameworks with firsthand context — so you're not just ready to land the role, but to hit the ground running once you're in it. If you're ready to make the leap, I can help you get there.
