Throughout my career, I've leveraged my diverse cross-functional expertise in operations, vendor management, supply chain, and customer service to deliver meaningful business impact, customer experience, and operational excellence.

Hello and welcome! I am Parina Daswaney, and I'm passionate about helping ambitious individuals like you achieve their career goals. My unique background combines the rigor of corporate strategy and operations with the creativity of entrepreneurship. As an international student, I landed internships at Wayfair my sophomore year and Ralph Lauren my junior year, building a solid foundation in business strategy and operations. This hard work paid off when I secured a full-time position at Wayfair after graduating. I quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a manager while also successfully navigating the complexities of obtaining a green card. Following Wayfair, I further honed my skills and experience in a fast-paced environment at DoorDash. Beyond my corporate experience, I've also gained invaluable insight into the world of venture capital by consulting for XRC Ventures and DSG Ventures and built up my own successful side hustle, Blog Beauty Boss and Dance With Parina. This varied experience has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to help you navigate complex business landscapes and achieve your strategic goals. Whether you're working on refining your operational efficiency, building your business strategy, or developing your leadership skills, I can provide the tailored guidance to support your growth. Let's connect and explore how I can help you reach your full potential!

I tripled my salary in 5 years and negotiated a fully remote status in Hawaii when my company pushed RTO. Now I coach job seekers to do the same: sharper positioning, stronger interviews (including case), and higher offers. I work in strategy & ops at Visa on executive-facing, high-impact initiatives. I’ve held roles in corporate strategy and revenue operations at Visa and Lucid Software. I’ve coached clients into opportunities across strategy, marketing, investment banking, tech sales, tourism, and even medical school admissions. Previous clients have landed offers from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Visa, and the Department of Defense. If you’re ready to make a move, I’d love to help you chart the most direct path to it.

I've spent 20+ years helping organizations build better operating models, accelerate revenue growth, and turn strategic vision into executable plans. I've worked across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth organizations in pharma, life sciences, CPG, financial services, technology, and professional services. My proprietary CORE® framework has helped clients reduce time-to-market by up to 43%, improve margin performance 20–70%, and increase effective billable rates by 20–30% – deployed across 100+ engagements with companies including AT&T, IBM, American Express, Merck, Pfizer, Campbell Soup, Colgate-Palmolive, and Xerox. I coach business leaders on go-to-market strategy, operating model design, revenue acceleration, new business development, and building scalable systems that don't depend on any one person to function. If you're trying to grow, pivot, or fix something that isn't working, that's exactly where I do my best work.

I help ambitious operators and career switchers break into and level up within Business Operations and Strategy roles at top tech companies. I’m a hands-on operator with real experience driving GTM planning, forecasting, and executive decision-making in high-stakes, ambiguous environments. My coaching focuses on structured thinking, clear communication, and translating experience into compelling, interview-ready stories. I help clients break down complex problems, pressure-test their logic, and show up to interviews and senior conversations sounding confident, credible, and polished. Clients leave with sharper instincts, clearer positioning, and the confidence to operate at the next level — not by guessing, but by thinking like someone who already belongs in the room.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams to bring products and go-to-market strategies to life—from SMB-focused innovation at Endurance to global strategy at Microsoft. I help founders, operators, and aspiring PMMs think critically about business models, market positioning, stakeholder alignment, and decision-making under ambiguity. Whether you're scaling or refining, I’ll help you anchor your strategy to what really moves the needle.
