Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I am a former Bain & Company Manager and former Google professional with experience helping ambitious students and professionals navigate demanding career decisions. My experience is particularly relevant for professionals considering meaningful transitions, because I have worked across industries including Energy & Utilities, Oil & Gas, Tech, and Media, and across several geographies in Europe and the Middle East, while also having lived in the US and China. This gives me a practical understanding of how to reposition a profile, bridge gaps, and move into new roles or industries with a credible story. I coach people who want greater clarity on what to target, how to present themselves, and how to make the next step in their career with more confidence and direction.

My approach combines strategic clarity with honest coaching — I'll help you figure out what you want and then build a real plan to get there.

My journey continued at Oxford, where I completed a MBA from Said Business School and a Master in Public Policy from the Blavatnik School of Government, then with impactful roles at The Global Fund and the United Nations Advisory Alliance, where I led cross-functional projects and strategic finance initiatives.

Previously, I provided interview preparation for MBB consulting firms, so am happy to run case interviews or share advice for individuals pursuing careers in consulting.
