Outstanding, thoughtful person. Willing to help you sort through issues and not only highlight the good but also where challenges lie to better prepare you. Always available.

Justin has been an incredible mentor to me and was great at helping me prep for PEI and case interviews for a number of firms I was interviewing at. He is very charismatic and will do almost anything to see you succeed.

Davide’s coaching was extremely valuable in my MBB process. He helped me improve in the areas that mattered most and gave me much more confidence going into interviews. I genuinely believe he was one of the key factors in helping me succeed.

I worked with Jonathan a few years back where he was my manager. He greatly helped me grow, provided clear directions to me, and showed care and compassion unmatched in high tech environment.

Cathryn and I were both residents at The Entrepreneur House in San Diego, and during that time I participated in over 175 hours of mastermind sessions she led and attended three retreats she organized and facilitated. I've watched her work with founders at various stages and the through-line is always the same: she has a rare ability to identify the limiting beliefs that are driving someone's decisions, reframe the problem, and help them move toward new behaviors with real conviction. What makes Cathryn particularly valuable in a VC or PE context is that she understands what operators are going through. She's a 3x founder herself, she's worked as an Executive in Residence for a PE firm's portfolio companies, and she approaches coaching with the rigor of someone who's been in the seat. The founders I've seen her work with make better decisions, communicate more clearly, and operate from a place of higher alignment with their unique superpowers. That's the kind of support infrastructure that compounds across a portfolio. I'd recommend Cathryn without hesitation to any firm looking to invest in the performance and resilience of their founders and operators.

I reported directly to Martin and it was one of the most defining learning experience of my career. Martin is a true leader in his capacity to mold and grow others into effective, high-performing managers. He is skilled at creating an environment that invites hard-work, attention to detail, play, and high-paced learning without burning out. He is also a powerful coach, identifies your own personal strengths and clears the path for you to shine, whether it’s bureaucratic red tape or nudging through a complex obstacle.

Cathryn has supported me in many conversations over the years about aligning professional aspirations with personal values and feeling inspired about the impact of my work. She has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the limiting beliefs that hold me back from dreaming big and turning my dreams into reality. Her positivity and optimism are really quite radiant and contagious. When coming to her as a sounding board on important transitions or decisions, I walk away with a renewed sense of confidence and possibility. I highly recommend working with Cathryn, whether you are looking to bring more creativity and inspiration to your work, navigating a transition, or trying to understand what keeps you from realizing your full potential.

I found working with Ed to be valuable as I developed my product management career and eventually launched my own business. Coming from a non-technical background, I wanted to get up to speed quickly. Ed was instrumental with this goal as he has an immense amount of knowledge on product development and design. I am confidently able to interact with stakeholders as a result. I can always count on Ed to provide direct coaching feedback and highly recommend working with him.

Humbulani is an exceptional coach and one of the best I’ve worked with for interview preparation. She brings a rare combination of high standards, sharp insight, and genuine investment in your success.
