Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

My work focuses on how you think, decide, and communicate under pressure. Most leaders were promoted for performance. Few were trained to think clearly under pressure. That gap shows up in decisions, alignment, and execution. Not more analysis. Better judgment. Not more alignment meetings. Clear decisions that hold. In our work, we slow down the moment before action. We separate signal from noise. We name what others avoid. And we strengthen how you operate when the stakes are real. You see it in: - Faster, more confident decisions - Clearer communication in high-stakes conversations - Stronger alignment across teams - Execution that no longer needs to be chased I bring 25+ years of global leadership experience across Burberry, Tory Burch, Gap Inc., and PwC, combined with 6,000+ executive coaching sessions.

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.

Before law school, I started my career at the intersection of high-stakes corporate operations and emerging market investment strategy. At Goldman Sachs, I served as a Senior Legal Analyst supporting the Corporate Governance team, where I managed materials for 150+ Board and Board committee meetings, tracked governance trends for senior leadership, and streamlined audit processes through systems redesign. I also supported the corporate aircraft function, collaborating daily with senior management to evaluate executive perquisites across hundreds of annual transactions. I then took that operational and analytical foundation to Nairobi, where I joined the Karimjee Group as an Investment Associate building out the firm's renewable energy portfolio from the ground up. I managed 1.7MW (~$2M+) in solar financing projects, secured EPC partnerships across East Africa, and developed investment criteria that cut due diligence timelines in half, all while navigating the cross-border legal, regulatory, and political complexity that comes with operating across multiple African jurisdictions. Law school has even further refined my ability to cut unnecessary noise from business decision-making. Whether you're a founder trying to build an operational infrastructure, a team refining your investment or governance frameworks, or a professional navigating a strategic career pivot, I look forward to contributing to your team by bringing both the analytical rigor of Wall Street and the entrepreneurial hustle of building something new in an emerging market.

With over two decades of experience in business strategy and operations, I bring a wealth of knowledge from my roles at PwC, where I led strategic initiatives and transformation for a global business unit. As the Founder & Principal of my own boutique consultancy, I advise CEOs and executive teams on enterprise strategy and organizational effectiveness. Currently, I serve as a Business Advisor at Rutgers Business School, counseling entrepreneurs on business strategy and growth. My coaching is tailored to help you navigate complex business challenges and achieve your strategic goals. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey to success.

I've helped candidates land 25+ offers across tech and consulting — and before that, I was the one sitting in the hot seat figuring out how to actually break in. On the industry side, I've worked as a Program Management intern at Microsoft (federal contracts team) and as a Consulting Analyst at Stout on the IP and data team, and I'm about to start as a Business Analyst at Capital One. That mix means I've seen hiring up close at a big tech company, a boutique consulting firm, and a large corporate analyst program — three very different processes, three very different "what actually gets you hired" playbooks. On Campus at the University of Illinois I had served as a Project Director at the Illinois Consulting Group, where I've been staffed on projects spanning every major industry, and I've spent the last few years mentoring dozens of students trying to break into tech and consulting. I've also served as a Project Director with Product Space, coaching candidates specifically on product management career paths — so whether you're gunning for a case interview or a PM behavioral round, I've been in the room for both. Put it all together and here's what I can actually do for you: build a resume that gets you the interview (not just a "thanks for applying"), network with purpose instead of cold-emailing into the void, nail the case interview efficiently without just memorizing frameworks, and crush your behavioral rounds by turning your actual experiences into a story that lands. I've done this for myself and for dozens of other candidates. Happy to do it for you too.

I've spent about 20 years in operations and program management. I ran Trust and Safety organizations from 8 to 450 people at Accenture and TikTok, including the work for Meta and Twitter, and built most of that headcount myself. One account from 8 people to 150, and another from 150 to 450. Scaling an operation is a different problem than running one. What works at 20 people doesn't survive at 100+ and there are signs along the way that things are breaking. I've caught those repeatedly, in environments where getting it wrong was public. I hired, promoted and coached the managers on those teams as well. I've also been on the hiring side of hundreds of interviews. If you're interviewing for one of these roles, I can tell you what the person across the table is actually listening for I do my best coaching when you bring something specific. A team that's outgrown its process, a function you're being asked to build from nothing, a role you're interviewing for. I'm more useful with specifics than generic questions.
