Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I bring nearly two decades of senior leadership experience within global technology, including over ten years of coaching and developing professionals in corporate environments, alongside four years of formal professional coaching practice. I have coached individuals navigating promotion, redundancy, return-to-work, career pivots, and identity shifts. Having led teams, made high-stakes decisions, and navigated organisational change myself, I understand both the external pressures and internal questions that arise during transition. I specialise in working with mid-career professionals who appear successful on paper but feel uncertain about their next move. My coaching is structured, strategic, and grounded in real-world leadership experience, helping clients think clearly, make aligned decisions, and move forward with confidence. I am trained in professional coaching methodologies and am currently progressing toward ICF accreditation.

You already have the talent. I help you shape the story, build the strategy, and make your next move count. If you’re navigating a pivot, preparing for promotion, or stepping into leadership, you don’t just need clarity—you need a compelling narrative, a clear strategy, and a coach who can help you position yourself with purpose. As a Director of AI Marketing at SAP, ex-Microsoft leader, and Yale SOM grad, I bring a marketer’s mindset to career growth—grounded in storytelling, strategy, and intentional execution. I help high-performing professionals articulate their value, align their path with their goals, and communicate with confidence—so they can lead, influence, and grow with impact.

I’m a career strategist and coach with over 20 years of international, cross-industry business experience, but at my core, I’m most passionate about helping people find clarity, confidence, and purpose in their careers. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching professionals at UCLA Anderson’s Executive MBA Program, USC Marshall’s IBEAR MBA Program, and through my own practice, CareerQwest. Each client’s journey has taught me something new about resilience, ambition, and the power of intentional career choices. My own background spans consulting, corporate strategy, technology, and entrepreneurship across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. This variety allows me to understand and relate to clients from many different industries, functions, and stages of life. I combine that perspective with evidence-based coaching and a practical, results-focused approach to ensure our work together is both supportive and impactful. I see coaching as a partnership. Together, we’ll define what success looks like for you, set clear goals, and work step by step toward roles and opportunities that align with your vision for the future. My role is to challenge, guide, and encourage you, and to make sure you never feel like you’re navigating the journey alone. My coaching process is structured yet highly personalized, guiding you through every stage of career advancement... from defining your goals, to landing interviews, to negotiating the offer that truly reflects your value.

Most career coaches can tell you what a good resume looks like. I can tell you what a hiring manager actually thinks when they read it — because I've sat on both sides of that table. I'm currently VP of Global Business Control at Hubexo, a global SaaS company, where I lead a team of 20 and report to the CFO. Before that, I was an Associate at McKinsey advising on strategy and transformation. Before that, I rotated across business control, commercial strategy, and M&A through Ericsson's Global Leadership Program, with stops at NREP and EY in real estate investment. My career has never moved in a straight line — and that's exactly what I coach people to navigate. What I bring that most coaches don't: I understand how competitive business roles are actually evaluated — not from the outside looking in, but from the room where decisions get made. I know what signals make someone look like leadership material versus someone who just has a good resume. And because I've made significant career pivots myself, I know how to help you frame transitions, identify what's genuinely transferable, and build a story that holds up under pressure. I work best with ambitious early-career professionals who want to move fast and think strategically about their trajectory — not just land the next role, but set up the five after it.

You'll get actionable tips and guidance from behind the scenes performance management discussions, and career lessons learned from 20 years on Wall Street. Considering a new job? I can show you ways to improve your chances of landing it. Do you want to know what differentiates top performers beyond work product? I'll tell you as I've read more than 1K performance reviews, facilitated calibration meetings with Sales, Traders, Investment Bankers and other C-suite executives to discuss promotions, succession pipelines and performance ratings. I've also supported employees and managers through complex work situations, transitions and expansion of roles. Getting from where you are to the next chapter takes thoughtful planning, research and networking. Let's discuss and work on your career goals together!

While getting my MBA and since completing it, many family and friends have asked me if they should pursue a graduate degree. Getting an MBA or any graduate degree is not for everyone and I will share my candid experience while learning more about what it is you are ultimately trying to achieve. I have also worked for a variety of Fortune 500 companies in various functions and roles, which have helped me to coach others that feel stuck in their career and are considering making a change. The grass is not always greener on the other side and I am passionate about helping people make those tough decisions!
