Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Finding a job is a function of identifying what sits at the intersection of your skills, talents, and interests. If you're going to work for the rest of your life, why do something that you hate? There are systems you can use to figure it out much quicker than peers. I call it the Career Hypothesis method. If you truly act from a place of genuine curiosity and are moving in alignment with what you want, then I'm confident you can get any job you want.

Welcome—I'm Cong. I’ve been where many of my clients are: holding a prestigious degree, thriving in consulting, but unsure how to crack the tech world without starting over. I made the leap myself—pivoting directly from consulting into a staff-level role at Apple, followed by leading growth analytics at DoorDash. I know how different the game is in tech: it’s not just about credentials—it’s about translating your value, navigating ambiguity, and showing up with confidence in rooms that speak a different language. Today, I coach high-achieving professionals from top schools and firms—many with elite MBAs, consulting, or banking backgrounds—who feel stuck despite doing “everything right.” I’ve helped many individuals land impactful roles, make strategic pivots, and lead with clarity, not burnout. If you feel frustrated by the gap between where you are and where you should be—I’m here to help you close it. Let’s build a clear, strategic path into your dream job that honors who you are and what you’ve built.

I’ve built my career by moving across very different worlds — from co-founding an AI startup in education to joining the Management Rotation Program at Capital One, where I work across product, strategy, and operations. That mix of startup agility and Fortune 100 structure gives me a unique perspective on how to break into and succeed in competitive corporate careers. I coach professionals who want to transition into consulting, banking, product management, and other corporate roles. My approach is practical and results-driven: I’ll help you refine your resume, story, stand out in recruiting, and walk into interviews with confidence. Clients work with me because I know firsthand what it’s like to enter these spaces without a clear playbook — and I’ve helped others successfully make the leap.

Experienced CFO, investor, and entrepreneurial leader with a track record of success as a venture investor, business builder, fund-raiser and finance executive. While I continue to invest in venture capital, I developed my coaching practice in 2020 and since then have helped dozens of executives and entrepreneurs upskill, raise capital, find new opportunities, and excel in the new positions. I have done this work across industries, but most of my clients are entrepreneurs in tech/biotech, investment professionals in private equity/venture capital, or in real estate. I started my career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney (now Citi) before getting my MBA at Harvard Business School. I spent several years in private equity and venture capital at Warburg Pincus before moving into public equity investing at hedge funds, including my own for several years. Most recently I pivoted back to venture capital with a new firm, 3Spoke Capital, and spent two years as the CFO of a new AI/medtech venture, PreciseDx, for which I raised over $20MM in a Series B. All the while I was active in the recruitment, training, and management of high performance teams. I know how to build great teams, help you find a role within them, and crush the new job once you secure it.

Hello and welcome! I hold dual Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford—an MBA and a Master’s in Public Policy—as well as a First Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Cape Town. My academic and professional background includes experience with leading firms like McKinsey & Company and KPMG, where I worked on strategic problem-solving, leadership development, and initiatives ranging from operational transformation to climate analytics. Having co-founded a chapter of Effective Altruism and published on strategy and economic policy, I’ve developed a strong ability to guide individuals in aligning their academic and career ambitions. Whether you're refining your personal statement, navigating career transitions, or developing a clear path for long-term growth, I’m here to provide tailored, actionable support to help you achieve your goals.

With over a decade of talent acquisition experience, I’ve had the privilege of shaping top-tier engineering teams at high-growth startups and in venture capital. Starting my journey at Coursera during its Series A, I launched their University Recruiting Program. At Quora, I led the early career recruiting team, perfecting my ability to attract and retain top talent. At Human Capital, I partnered with founders from seed to growth stages, building world-class engineering teams for companies like Anduril, Observe, and Kojo. My passion for startup recruiting and proven success drive me to guide individuals in their career development. As the founder of The Journey, a community for future founders, I’m committed to inspiring, and equipping the next generation of entrepreneurs through coaching, and opportunity.

As someone who has reimagined my own career several times, I would love to guide you on your journey! I am an ICF certified coach with over two decades of experience in talent development and career coaching. I started my career in engineering and product roles, but have spent most of my 20+ years working in talent development at large multinational companies. Today, as a Coach and Co-Founder of Together We, I help people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. One of the transition points I specialize in is career changes. What we do as a career has a big impact on our lives - we spend a lot of our time at work and your chosen career has the potential to bring you meaning and fulfillment. However, feeling like you’re in the wrong career or not knowing what the next step is can be stressful and making changes can often feel like too big a hurdle. I work with a broad range of clients - some who want to advance in a particular field and others wanting to make a more drastic career change. I also love working with clients who have taken a step back from their careers (perhaps after becoming a parent or another life circumstance), and are now ready to make that next move. I am committed to providing you with practical tools and techniques to increase feelings of empowerment and ownership around your career development. Topics I typically cover with clients include: identifying and working with personal values, understanding strengths and how to best leverage them, networking (even for those who hate the idea of networking!), and dealing with imposter syndrome to name a few. Work with me to gain clarity and to build confidence in the next steps in your career!
