Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I've been a CEO for 15+ years and one of the top jobs of a CEO is to grow employees, advance their career, not just in your company but prepare them for after. I have helped advanced the careers of hundreds of employees, all of which have stayed and colleagues, friends and mentees. Perhaps this one small principle will make you see that I am different than most other people. In all of my companies I've had a rule where there can't be any job that doesn't have a path to grow. How about my executive assistant then? In most companies EA's stay in one job forever. All EA I've had, had a career path from EA to customer support, to account management to sales. I've grown so many administrative assistants to be sales people, and they are eternally grateful. Even the simplest job has to have a growth path otherwise employees are unhappy. I have never seen an employee leave working for me that I didn't want to see leave. It's these small but important principles that make it happen.

I’ve spent more than a decade building and leading within a Fortune 500 organization, progressing from an entry-level role to Head of Logistics Excellence at Kraft Heinz, where I currently lead a team of 14. Along the way, I’ve mentored professionals across functions on promotion readiness, internal mobility, and strategic career pivots. I’ve seen firsthand how performance, perception, and organizational dynamics influence advancement decisions. In addition to my operating experience, I earned my MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, strengthening my foundation in leadership, talent development, and career strategy. I combine real-world corporate leadership experience with structured strategic thinking to help high-performing professionals take intentional control of their career trajectory.

I coach ambitious professionals navigating high-stakes career transitions—particularly into investment banking, private equity, venture capital, startups, and global leadership roles. Over 25+ years, I have built and led companies across private equity, venture capital, family offices, and digital health. I have raised and deployed capital, executed cross-border acquisitions and joint ventures across multiple continents, and served as both a C-suite executive and board member. I understand how talent is evaluated at the highest levels—not only by hiring managers, but by investors and boards accountable for performance. My coaching focuses on strategic positioning: clarifying your narrative, sharpening your differentiation, and ensuring you compete effectively in highly selective environments. Whether you are pursuing PE/VC recruiting, transitioning through an MBA, pivoting industries, or stepping into broader leadership responsibility, I help you think like a decision-maker—not just a candidate. I bring both operator and investor perspective so you position yourself not just for your next role, but for long-term leverage.

I’ve spent more than two decades on the other side of the table—building and leading recruiting functions for high‑growth companies, from early‑stage startups to global enterprises—so I know how hiring decisions actually get made. I’ve designed interview processes, partnered closely with founders and executives, and helped thousands of candidates navigate complex searches across fintech, AI, and emerging tech, which means I can translate “what companies want” into a clear, practical plan for you. As a founder and operator myself, I coach with an operator’s mindset: we set a target role, build a narrative and portfolio that match it, and then execute with structured outreach, better interviewing, and smart negotiation. Whether you’re breaking into tech, pivoting into AI, or moving up into leadership, I focus on concrete deliverables—sharper positioning, a stronger story, and a repeatable job‑search system—so you leave each session knowing exactly what to do next.
