Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

After my MBA, I was really interested in breaking into the tech industry under the Business Strategy & Operations umbrella. I didn't know what roles fell into the broad category, and didn't know the best skills to prep for interviews. I help candidates prep for interviews (behavioral, case (both live and take home), and C-Suite calls) and best translate their existing experience into what tech companies want to hear. I can support in end-to-end process, from identifying initial companies, all the way to negotiating a final offer!

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in business strategy and operations, I currently work in GTM Strategy & Operations at Palo Alto Networks. My journey began at Deloitte Consulting, where I advanced from Analyst to Engagement Manager, honing my skills in strategic consulting and project management. I hold an MBA from Michigan's Ross School of Business, where I was an admissions and career coach and have continued in that capacity as an alum. Whether you're looking to break into strategy roles or advance your career, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

My university is a non-target school for top consulting firms with around a ~67.6% admission rate and an unranked business school by USNews. The total student population of CSUF's business college is around 9,000+, and I was successful in differentiating myself and getting my profile in front of interviewers at most of the Big4 Consulting Groups (Deloitte Consulting, EY-Parthenon, Strategy&) and the three MBB firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG). For many of these firms, I was the FIRST to interview from my undergraduate program in my school's history and the first to receive job offers.

I graduated Harvard Business School in 2018 and one of the favorite parts of school was serving as an admissions representative and helping prospective students navigate the admissions process. I am passionate and excited to help clients pursue their business degree in the way and place that best fits their needs. Before business school I worked as a marketing engineer at Texas Instruments (yes, the calculator company) in a role that was a liaison between our sellers in the field and engineers at corporate. It was a great job but I knew I wanted to learn more about business through an MBA. I quickly realized telling my story and background was tricky for a business setting because of how “non traditional” it was. Thus began my hate-affair with the phrase “non traditional”. I believe anyone and everyone regardless of your background has something to contribute to and can benefit from a business education. Thinking through what that could look like for clients and sharing what I’ve learned from my research and experience is why I coach in my spare time. After graduating HBS, I received a full time off from my internship in strategy and operations at Google and now work in the office of the CTO at Verily. During my time at Google, I helped Google Cloud scale with the growing industry and also worked part time in our internal incubator, Area120, on an AI integrated home fitness platform startup and now do chief of staff/strat ops functions for Verily's tech org. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dogs, scuba diving, teaching fitness classes, and watching college football.

I spent 1.5 years at LinkedIn as part of their strategy and analytics rotational program. I spent 12 months in BizOps and 6 months in Sales Ops. I've done dozens of resume reviews, networking strategy sessions, mock interviews, etc. Excited to help you become a competitive applicant!

After my time at BCG, I jumped into the entertainment industry, specifically with Fever in Spain, a company focused on scaling in-real-life experiences internationally. There, I've focused on analyzing large volumes of data and working operationally and strategically to bring live experiences to fruition. Currently, I'm even building an AI-driven distribution company for artists, a project I never imagined myself undertaking, but one that's proving to be a lot of fun.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier companies like Bain & Company and Golden Gate Capital. As the President of CoreStream and former COO, I've honed my skills in company strategy, revenue optimization, and operational improvements. My journey also includes co-founding a successful startup, Footstep Labs, where I led innovative solutions in healthcare technology. Over the years, I've coached about a dozen individuals, helping them navigate complex business landscapes and achieve their professional goals. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey in business strategy and operations!

I grew up at Intel, the birthplace of OKRs and results orientation, and have since gone on to build and implement strategic plans at companies like Google, Code2040, The Recording Academy, and Stitch Fix. Through all these experiences, I had the opportunity to develop the strategy and plan from end to end and have learned many lessons along the way. I can help you refine your vision and how you can think about converting your strategy to an actual plan with milestones and metrics. Grab time and we can get started on helping you achieve your organizational goals!

With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I have co-founded and led teams across various industries, focusing on optimizing processes and leveraging AI to drive efficiency and growth. At ExitLoop, I implemented systems that significantly reduced revenue loss for healthcare clinics, while at Wealth Factory, I enhanced program and technology integration to elevate client experiences. My experience at Strategy West Financial and GrowthAmp involved streamlining operations and automating workflows, resulting in substantial revenue increases and operational savings. I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to complex challenges and am eager to help you refine your business strategies for success. Let's connect and explore how we can transform your operations together!

Built a career in strategy, marketing, and growth. From management consulting to leading brand at IBM and eBay, I now bring that corporate rigor to my coaching clients. I help you with strategy and systems to win right-fit clients at healthy margins. I share what I've learned and coach you so you can say exactly what buyers needs to hear to sign a five, six and seven-figure+ contract. And we avoid the big business ‘nice to haves’ a growing business can (and must) do without. Because in a sea of sameness, your moat is what you stand for, who you serve best, and what only you deliver. Sharpening one client's positioning increased their deal size 40% and cut their sales cycle 35%.
