Career Coaching Coaches

Worked for 2 years as an IB analyst and 4 years as a growth equity associate

With a robust background in strategy and operations at companies like Amazon and PwC, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a Senior Program Manager at Amazon, I honed my skills in global expansions, while my tenure at PwC saw me leading large teams and specializing in digital health strategy. Currently, as an Investor at Acumen, I focus on high-impact entrepreneurship, further broadening my strategic insights. My academic journey includes an MBA from Haas School of Business and a Bachelor's degree from Wellesley College, where I was actively involved in leadership roles. I'm passionate about helping professionals navigate their career pivots and achieve their goals. Let's connect to craft a personalized strategy for your career success!

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!

Hey! I’m Michael, a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder whose career has been shaped by navigating major pivots and high-stakes decisions without a clear playbook. I started on a traditional path toward medicine, left medical school to pursue entrepreneurship, built and scaled a media company reaching over 25 million people monthly, and later earned my MBA from Wharton to deepen how I think about strategy, leadership, and long-term career planning. I understand how overwhelming career decisions can feel, especially when you’re questioning a path you’ve invested years into or considering a pivot into something less traditional like entrepreneurship. I’ve lived the tension between stability and risk, prestige and fulfillment, and short-term security versus long-term optionality. I’ve also had the benefit of learning from mentors, building teams, and making real decisions with real consequences, not hypothetical ones. I work with people who are feeling stuck, at a crossroads, or thinking seriously about changing direction. Some are exploring entrepreneurship or side projects. Others are deciding whether to pivot roles, industries, or functions, or trying to understand what success should look like at this stage of their life and career. My approach is practical, honest, and grounded in real experience. I focus on helping you clarify what you want, pressure-test your options, and move forward with confidence rather than second-guessing. If you’re facing a big career decision and want thoughtful guidance from someone who’s navigated multiple transitions at scale, I’d love to help you think clearly and build a path you can stand behind.

I have built my career by navigating high-stakes leadership roles, from acquiring and managing a family-owned SME backed by international investors to leading 200+ professionals across global markets. Having lived and worked in Africa, the US, and Europe, I bring a deep cross-cultural perspective that allows me to connect with and coach professionals from diverse backgrounds. My resilience—closing deals after setbacks, integrating operations post-M&A, and delivering growth under pressure—equips me to guide others through career transitions and challenges with clarity and confidence. With a blend of strategic vision, hands-on leadership, and emotional intelligence, I empower professionals to unlock their potential and achieve ambitious goals.

I provide offer review and negotiation coaching — helping clients clarify their goals, understand typical compensation structures, and confidently negotiate their total package. I do not provide legal advice or representation. All coaching is for educational and strategic purposes only.

I’m qualified to coach in this category because my work sits at the intersection of organizational psychology and real-world leadership execution. I'm a trained organizational psychology professional from Columbia University, where I focused on how individuals and teams perform under pressure, navigate ambiguity, and make decisions that affect others. That foundation matters — because leadership challenges are rarely about intelligence or effort. They’re about clarity, incentives, behavior, and context. Professionally, I’ve coached leaders navigating promotions, first-time executive roles, organizational change, and high-stakes performance moments. I also design and facilitate leadership development experiences for professionals across industries, which keeps my work grounded in the realities leaders face every day — competing priorities, stakeholder politics, and difficult decisions. My coaching isn’t generic advice. It’s structured, evidence-based, and outcome-focused. Clients walk away with defined priorities, decision frameworks they can reuse, stakeholder strategies, and measurable progress in how they lead. I understand both the psychology behind performance and the practical demands of leadership roles — and I help clients bridge that gap.
