Business Operations & Strategy Coaches

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 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.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier firms like Salesforce, Deloitte, and Vista Equity Partners. My journey includes roles in sales strategy, consulting, and go-to-market value creation, equipping me with the insights needed to help you excel in your career. I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, which further enhances my ability to guide you through complex business challenges. Whether you're looking to refine your strategic approach or optimize operational efficiency, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and craft a plan for your success!

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!

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.

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.

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!
