Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

With 8+ years in consulting and tech, I have a bird's eye view of opportunities and career paths. I have the good fortune of working with really talented folks who have taken very diverse paths to get to where they are at. I work with a wide network of ex-consultants, founders, VCs, strategists and others who have helped me understand how to navigate inflection points in a career, when to take risks and how to reinvent oneself. I am also grateful for the experiences I've had across a wide variety of functions, geographies (US, Europe & South Asia) and different stages (large clients through consulting, early stage startups through angel investing and growth-stage through my tech jobs). This helps me understand how work cultures, networks and pace of work influences career trajectories and professional growth.

I’ve coached hundreds of tech professionals through interviews, promotions, pivots, and high-stakes career decisions. My background spans 20+ years in hiring and team leadership at LinkedIn, Microsoft, Lyft, and multiple startups. I’ve made hiring decisions as a people leader, partnered with execs on critical searches, and worked inside talent teams, so I know exactly how candidates get evaluated, and why some stall out. I specialize in turning career stories into offers. Whether you’re interviewing for a big next role, positioning yourself for internal growth, or planning a strategic pivot, I help you show up sharp, confident, and differentiated. My coaching is grounded in real-world hiring experience and shaped by what it actually takes to get hired and promoted in tech.

I've guided 300+ students from underrepresented backgrounds into competitive careers at top companies, combining personal experience overcoming barriers with proven systems that deliver results. I've personally mentored students who landed roles at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America, often helping them go from having no industry connections to securing life-changing opportunities. My own journey from a first-generation Nigerian-American immigrant to working at firms like General Atlantic, Goldman Sachs, and Lead Edge Capital gives me deep insight into what it really takes to break into competitive industries. I specialize in helping people who feel like outsiders figure out how to get insider access to the careers they want, using practical strategies based on real data from hundreds of successful career transitions.

I’ve spent the past decade helping people navigate the moments in their career where clarity really matters - choosing their next role, redefining their path, or figuring out how to move forward when things feel uncertain. My background spans consulting, startups, product leadership, fractional executive work, and coaching founders and operators across industries. Along the way I’ve become a go-to person for helping others understand what they want, articulate their strengths, and make grounded decisions about their future. My coaching is practical, structured, and human. I help you slow down the noise, understand your options, and build a clear plan you can trust. Whether you’re exploring a new direction, preparing for interviews, repositioning your story, or trying to break into a new industry, I bring calm, clarity, and honest guidance. My goal is simple: help you make decisions you feel good about and move toward opportunities that actually fit who you are.
