Consultant's Dilemma: Transitioning with Momentum
A focused engagement designed specifically for current, sabbatical, and recently departed consultants evaluating whether to stay, transition internally, or explore something new. Unlike generic career coaching ($1,000/hr for vague advice), this is built on consultant-specific frameworks delivered by someone who's lived the McKinsey-to-startup-to-entrepreneur path firsthand. This is for you if: → You're questioning whether the firm is still working for you → You're exploring options but haven't started real conversations → You want a structured approach to a decision that feels overwhelming → You're tired of giving great advice to clients but struggling to apply it to yourself Includes 5 hours of 1:1 strategy sessions, async support between sessions, and all frameworks and guides.

Career Clarity + Negotiation Strength | Builder, Operator, Ex-McKinsey
I started my career in an unexpected place: teaching a leadership course at the University of Michigan while I was still a student. What began as a small experiment eventually became part of the formal curriculum. It pulled me into the world of mentorship early and shaped how I think about coaching, supporting others, and helping people understand who they want to become. Since then, my work has been about building and fixing things in the real world. I’ve led teams, shaped products, untangled messy problems, and stepped in when founders or operators needed clarity, focus, or a reset. I’ve always been the person people go to when they’re trying to make sense of something complicated. That started with my time as a student advisor and continued as I built my career across strategy, operations, technology, and product. Along the way I’ve advised startups, built AI tools, taken on fractional leadership roles, and helped companies grow without losing what makes them special. My strength is helping people slow down the noise, see the blind spots, and move forward with decisions that feel grounded and right for them. I live in Michigan with my family, and a lot of my work reflects my desire to build things that last and make the world around me a little better. If we work together, you can expect honesty, structure, and a steady presence when things feel overwhelming. I’m both strategic and hands-on, and I show up ready to roll up my sleeves and work through whatever you’re navigating.
