Working with Haris was honestly a game changer for me as a founder. Fundraising felt like this black box before with decks, getting warm intros, term sheets... all of it. He helped me tighten our story, stop rambling, and actually say what investors care about. More than that he coached me through the mental side of it. When I was getting ghosted or second guessing the round, he kept me steady and focused. He’d shoot it to me straight but always had my back. We ended up raising the round, and I’m 100% sure it would’ve taken way longer (and been way messier) without him. If you’re building and about to fundraise, you want him in your corner. 100% recommend!

The absolute best!!!!! I genuinely wouldn’t be graduating from Columbia Business School this year if it weren’t for Haris. He guided me through every step of the process from selecting the right schools and shaping my application strategy to supporting me with every single detail along the way. EVEN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT!! What truly sets him apart is that he doesn't charge the outrageous fees that many other “consultants” do, especially those who treat it purely as a money-making full time business. Despite being incredibly successful himself, he still takes the time to do this on the side and genuinely cares about helping others succeed. Major props to him for being on here now!

I worked with Asli last year and she helped me with everything from writing my personal statement to my secondary essays and experiences and everything in between. She was super easy to communicate with and always accomadated my schedule!

Charlie is extraordinary in his interview prep skills and analytical thinking. Having worked with him in one of his prior roles, he can quickly distill ambiguous problems into structured analytical frameworks, then translate them into implementation roadmaps with clean owners and deadlines. On interviews, he helped provide feedback to me that was precise, practical, and tailored to the bizops and strategy roles I was pursuing.

Jonathan is an outstanding coach and mentor. He brings great energy, clarity, and professionalism to every session, and he genuinely cares about helping people improve. His feedback is specific and actionable, and he creates a supportive environment that makes it easy to learn and grow. I’ve consistently walked away from our interactions feeling more confident and better prepared. Highly recommend working with him.

Kim has been instrumental in my career growth, from my early days as an individual contributor to now leading a global team. Over the course of nearly a decade, in roles where she was both my direct manager and my peer, Kim’s mentorship and coaching have helped me navigate major career transitions—shifting from a career in Financial Services to Marketing Technology and Agency Services—while building the confidence to take on greater leadership responsibilities. What sets Kim apart is her ability to provide strategic guidance while allowing room for independent problem-solving. She has a unique talent for asking the right questions, helping me prioritize effectively, and ensuring I had the space to develop my own approach. One of the most defining moments of my career was reshaping our customer support model—an initiative filled with complexities and competing priorities. With Kim’s coaching, I was able to focus on the core elements that would drive impact, ultimately implementing a scalable framework that improved customer outcomes and streamlined our internal operational efficiencies. Kim’s ability to empower and elevate those around her makes her an exceptional coach. Anyone looking to navigate career transitions, develop their leadership skills, or drive meaningful professional growth would greatly benefit from working with her.

Working with Kim has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. After experiencing an unexpected layoff, I felt uncertain about my next steps—but her guidance helped me bounce back with confidence and clarity. She gave me the tools and mindset to not only move forward but to see new opportunities where I once saw setbacks. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just give advice—she really listens, asks the right questions, and challenges me to think differently. She has helped me recognize my strengths, rebuild my confidence, and set meaningful goals that I’m actively achieving. Every session left me feeling energized and focused, with practical steps I was able to put into action right away. If you’re looking for someone who is supportive, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping you grow, I can’t recommend Kim enough!

I’ve worked with Kim in the past, both directly and indirectly, and her coaching style reflects her leadership style in the best way. Together, we navigated several periods of real change where I realized I couldn't go through it alone after returning from a sabbatical. For me, those moments were when things moved quickly, and clarity was harder to find. While I had the story figured out, I needed to genuinely believe it myself, even if that meant rewriting some key parts. What stood out during this time was her ability to pivot with me, offering guidance and direction without judgment. She creates space to think, not pressure to perform; although she did hold me accountable. Her flexible approach, combined with thoughtful worksheets and practical prompts we worked through together, gave me the pause I needed to step back and recalibrate. At a time when I was questioning nearly everything I thought I knew, Kim helped me reaffirm my purpose and reconnect with what truly makes me unique. That work became a foundational framework for my next steps. The answers weren’t shockingly new; they were already there. I just hadn’t slowed down enough to write them down, connect the dots, and give them shape in the way I needed. Kim helped me do exactly that. If you’re navigating change, feeling stuck between what was and what’s next, or just need a trusted guide to help you think more clearly, book a session - Kim brings clarity and conviction in a way that truly sticks.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Shirisha Nagendran not just as a great friend, but also as a truly wonderful coach and mentor. She is a natural at what she does, bringing a rare combination of empathy, clarity, and practical wisdom to every interaction. Her coaching style is thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply personalized, helping people gain meaningful insights and move forward with confidence. She has an incredible ability to listen with genuine care, understand individual needs, and provide support that is both compassionate and empowering. I deeply appreciate her passion to support young minds (students and budding leaders) With her strong corporate leadership experience and deep expertise in coaching, Shirisha helps individuals navigate career and life transitions with confidence and balance. She creates a safe and supportive environment that inspires trust and enables people to discover their own strengths and direction.

I needed a lot of help studying for the LSAT in only a few months. I thought I would have to settle with lower scores, but Karin helped me get to where I wanted in that short amount of time. Working with Karin was always productive and she helped me figure out and improve on my weak points. Karin gave me clear strategies for improving and would make sure I understood how to implement them on the test.
