About Tathiana
👋 Hi, I’m Tathiana — a career coach, strategist, and mom on a mission to help you stop feeling stuck and start building a career that actually excites you. After a decade working across 4 continents in consulting (McKinsey) and strategy roles at tech scale-ups (including as Head of Strategy for a leading real estate platform in the Middle East), I made a bold pivot. Why? Because I realized success without fulfillment wasn’t enough — and I wanted to support others in designing careers that truly align with their values, strengths, and ambitions. I now coach professionals (especially women and ex-consultants) who are navigating transitions, craving clarity, or simply tired of the “golden cage” of impressive but draining jobs. Whether you’re planning your next move, exploring new industries or geographies, or reentering the job market after a break — I’m here to help you turn the chaos into a clear, actionable path. Let’s create a career you’re proud of — and have some fun along the way 💥
Why do I coach?
Because I’ve been there. I’ve chased the impressive titles, the international moves, the “dream jobs.” And while my career looked great on paper — deep down, I felt disconnected. Becoming a mom was the turning point. It made me question everything and forced me to look inward. That’s when my real personal development journey began — one that led me to rediscover my values, redefine success, and finally, listen to that quiet voice saying “this isn’t it.” Coaching wasn’t just a career change — it was a calling. Helping others navigate uncertainty, reconnect with who they are, and build careers that feel good and do good lights me up in a way no strategy deck ever could. This is the work I was meant to do — and I’m all in. 💛
