As a qualified career coach specializing in consulting and strategy roles, my expertise comes from extensive industry experience and a passion for empowering students. With a background in top-tier consulting firms and tech, I've interviewed hundreds of candidates, giving me invaluable insights into what companies seek. I offer personalized coaching and interview preparation to help candidates stand out and excel in their career pursuits. Let's work together to achieve your goals and secure that dream role in consulting or strategy.

Ops leaders get handed impossible asks: do more with less, ship on time, and figure out where AI fits before your competitor does. I coach the people inside this pressure cooker. You walk away with a sharper operating rhythm, a clearer 90-day plan, and systems that keep working after our session ends. I spent 20+ years leading sales and operations across organizations doing $250M+ in revenue, then went to MIT for AI/ML and built two enterprise AI platforms from the ground up. I bring both sides: what actually ships in an ops org, and where AI belongs in the workflow. I do not hand you a framework and leave.

I am here to help you! I specialize in guiding candidates through the end-to-end process of earning a Business Operations role at major companies like LinkedIn, Google, Meta, and others. Over the last 4 years at LinkedIn Business Operations (BizOps), I have conducted behavioral and case interviews plus been in the discussions on the final hiring decision. My coaching approach is centered on empowering individuals with the tips / tricks to both get their resume to the "top of the pile" and then rock their behavioral and case interviews. I'm currently a Manager at LinkedIn and advise leaders on how to shape the product strategy to generate the greatest business impact. This role has enabled my passion for using data-analytics and strategy to inform business decisions. Prior to LinkedIn, I worked for 3 years as a Consultant at Deloitte within the Healthcare industry. For those hoping to make the transition to Business Operations, I am here to share the learnings, best practices, and resources that I have curated to earn your dream role. I also just love talking and meeting new people, so feel free to schedule a free Intro Call or drop a note if anything on my profile connects with your goals.

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.

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.

Following Wayfair, I further honed my skills and experience in a fast-paced environment at DoorDash.

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.

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.
