Break Into AI Careers

My background isn't what you'd expect. I spent my early career in investment analysis and strategic finance before making the jump into AI and tech. Along the way I built a solo AI app from scratch that grew to 2,000+ users, picked up enough technical skills to ship real products, and found ways to contribute to AI initiatives at LinkedIn without having a CS degree or a traditional tech pedigree. The reason I coach in this space is simple: I figured it out the hard way, and I think I can help others skip some of the confusion. Breaking into AI from a non-traditional background means translating your existing skills into a language the industry understands, building the right kind of proof points, and knowing where to focus your energy. I'm still on this journey myself, which means I'm close to the same questions my clients are wrestling with. If you're coming from finance, consulting, operations, or anywhere outside the traditional tech pipeline, I'd love to help you find your way in.

You do not need to become an engineer to build a career in AI. I help non-technical professionals understand where they fit in the AI economy and build a practical path toward AI-adjacent roles in strategy, GTM, partnerships, customer success, implementation, operations, product partnerships, and startup leadership. My edge is helping clients translate their existing experience into the language AI companies care about: customer problems, workflows, adoption, implementation, revenue, partnerships, product strategy, and operational leverage. I have navigated this transition myself. My career began in strategy, partnerships, business development, and education technology. Today, I work at an early-stage AI startup leading customer experience and AI implementations, and I have built AI, data, and technology partnerships across Superpanel, Multiverse, Udacity, Northeastern, and LaFamilia. I’ve also coached 35+ mid-career and senior professionals targeting roles at top tech companies, earning top-tier coaching ratings. But the number that matters more is what candidates leave with: a sharper narrative, clearer thinking, and the communication style expected at the level they are targeting. If you are interested in riding the AI wave but do not know where to start without a technical background, I can help you identify the right roles, translate your experience, build new skills, sharpen your resume and LinkedIn, and create a job-search strategy that helps you compete credibly for AI roles.

Now, I help others do the same, blending practical leadership experience with AI-driven insights to accelerate their careers. As VP of Product Management at Bill.com, I helped grow company revenue by over 10x to nearly $1B ARR.
