Richard helped me develop my skills and made me aware I had the "right stuff" to accomplish my goals. He encouraged me when I needed and helped me focus where needed. I found Richard to be a role model to aspire to and a coach to help me succeed.

Stephen is an incredible teacher! He helped introduce me to consulting spending many hours giving one on one guidance. He led my team on one of my first consulting projects and was an excellent leader but he was also not afraid to jump into the work himself.

Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable about investments and was a great mentor to me at Berkeley, especially in financial economics. He genuinely cared about students, always engaging with us and making complex topics easier to grasp. Beyond the classroom, he was generous with career advice and always willing to help. His mentorship and support meant a lot to me.

I have worked with Ishu as he has supported and nurtured over 10 people so far to get into universities of their choice. He has a very detailed and personalised approach - helping one find the right course/school, supporting them in drafting their personal narratives and refining their writing styles. Given the depth of his network across fields, he's well versed with application processes of various universities, along with a knowledge of profiles that different universities like to build and support. Ishu will nudge you be to reflective, critical and vulnerable, helping you bring out the truest version of yourself in applications, and maximising your chances of getting into a college that aligns with your purpose and goals.

David is an incredible coach who asks the right questions early on. He helped me reflect on how to position myself for success during VC interviews & which aspects of my experience to highlight. He's a gifted advocate who takes time to educate you on how hiring managers think. Definitely an asset, especially for folks looking to break into tech of VC.

It’s a privilege to recommend Aaron Birnbaum as a coach on JoinLeland.com. Aaron isn’t just an expert in cybersecurity—he’s a trusted leader and innovator in the field. A CISSP-certified professional with an MBA and decades of experience, he has shaped security strategies for Fortune 100 companies and founded TRaViS ASM, a cutting-edge attack surface management platform. His expertise spans NIST, CMMC, HIPAA, and beyond, and he’s a sought-after speaker who has educated audiences worldwide on security awareness, social engineering, and risk management. Working with Aaron has been invaluable. He has a rare ability to turn complex cybersecurity challenges into clear, actionable strategies, making even the most technical topics approachable. Beyond his expertise, he’s someone you can count on—genuine, insightful, and fully invested in the success of those he mentors. Whether you're a startup founder needing a vCISO or a professional looking to advance your security career, Aaron’s guidance is game-changing. His depth of knowledge, leadership, and practical approach set him apart, and I highly recommend him as a coach.
