Once we choose a career path, it’s easy to stay the course without questioning whether it still aligns with who we are or where we want to go. Coming from a technical background, I never saw myself as a “business person.” I was juggling multiple responsibilities—many of which weren’t in my job description—and I didn’t fully recognize their value. That changed when I started working with Angela. Working with Angela was truly transformative. She helped me see that my contributions extended far beyond technical execution—I was already engaging in critical business functions without realizing it. That shift in perspective gave me clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of my own potential. She also introduced a structured framework for identifying and addressing my growth areas. One of the most powerful lessons was learning how to embrace feedback—not just receive it, but use it as a tool for continuous improvement. This mindset shift led to tangible growth in both my performance and self-awareness. Angela helped me believe in myself. Her support and guidance empowered me to pursue new paths, and as a direct result, I landed a new role that aligns beautifully with my goals! I wholeheartedly recommend Angela Mesa to anyone navigating career transitions in today’s rapidly evolving, AI-driven landscape—whether you're seeking clarity, exploring new directions, or striving to unlock your full potential. Her coaching is a game-changer!

Donna is an honest, conscientious, and proactive coach who I have regularly consulted about my career trajectory, my growth opportunities, difficult decisions, and how to negotiate better and position myself to succeed. She is able to provide detailed context-specific insights off the top of her head. She is also self aware enough to know her own limitations, but she knows what we can do as a team to figure our way past those. I appreciate that Donna champions the people she coaches and is invested in the relationship itself. I honestly wouldn’t be where I am without her.

We spent hours on technical prep where he explained concepts so I could truly understand them instead of just memorizing answers. He also coached me on how to build genuine connections during networking calls, how to position myself in follow-ups, and how to present my story in a way that stood out. I went from getting no interviews to landing multiple superdays, and ultimately an offer from a top-tier bank. Henry is an incredible mentor who puts in the time to make sure you are fully prepared.

Jeff has been instrumental to my personal and professional growth. Over the two years we worked together at eighty2i, he helped me build a strong foundation in strategic finance and fundraising. Jeff was not only patient and willing to get in the weeds with me, but also consistently helped me zoom out to see the bigger picture. My development was always a clear priority for him, even while balancing client demands. He offers highly actionable advice, often supported by relevant sources that help broaden perspective and deepen understanding. I would not be where I am today without Jeff’s support and guidance, and I highly recommend him as a mentor and coach.

I worked with Henry over several months as I went through the AM recruiting cycle. From the start, he was invested in my success, helping me refine my resume, practice interviews, and learn how to pitch investment ideas. He never gave cookie-cutter advice — every tip was specific to my background and the firms I was targeting. His feedback was always honest but constructive, and he celebrated each milestone with me along the way. By the end of the process, I had multiple offers and a much deeper understanding of the industry. I would highly recommend Henry as a coach for anyone committed to a career in asset management.

I had always been interested in markets but had no formal finance background and did not think I stood a chance. Henry immediately broke down what skills I already had that AM firms value and gave me a plan to build the rest. He showed me how to talk about my experiences in a way that made them relevant, walked me through current market themes so I could speak about them confidently, and reviewed my stock pitches multiple times until they were perfect. I will never forget how encouraging he was after one of my practice pitches went badly. Instead of brushing it off, he explained exactly where I went wrong and how to fix it. That pitch later became the one I used in my final interview, which landed me my offer. I would strongly recommend Henry to anyone who needs both honest feedback and genuine encouragement.

5 stars aren’t enough to encapsulate Rachael! She is motivating, calming, and supportive of her people! The dental admissions process is very stressful, but when I found myself talking to Rachael, you could tell she took time out of her busy day to focus on you and your questions! Rachael is always there for you cheering you on. It was always refreshing to see her at school, and I am forever grateful for the supportive role she has played in my professional career.

I met Jeff when looking for a new job a couple of years ago. He is extremely well connected within the financial services community in Denver and was able to introduce me to a great firm who hired me quickly. Jeff works with great people and was able to help me tailor my resume to be a better fit for the positions.

I reached out to Shubham for guidance in the deferred MBA process. He is really sharp and knows how to align personal goals with application questions. His advice was most helpful during the interview process, especially with his knowledge about many Columbia-specific resources. I was able to secure admits from HBS and CBS.
