Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Leland recognized me as a Top Expert 2026. That's the platform's way of saying the results are real. Before I moved into data, I spent five years Sourcing and Recruiting at JPMorganChase, EY, and Fisher Investments. I screened candidates, ran behavioral interviews, and moved people through structured hiring processes using the same STAR-based frameworks I now teach. My current role in People Analytics at JPMC adds something most experts don't have. I work inside the data on how a large organization actually hires. I see which candidate profiles get offers and which don't. Most experts know what job searching feels like. I know what hiring looks like from the inside. That's the difference.

Hi, I’m Jonathan - MBA career coach at the University of Texas McCombs School of Business and former startup operator and tech leader. I’ve helped hundreds of professionals clarify their goals, sharpen their stories, and land roles they’re genuinely excited about. Let's chat to talk through a career move or explore a job search strategy.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in corporate strategy and development at Monotype and a dynamic tenure as a Senior Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, I bring a wealth of experience in driving innovation and strategic growth.

I am passionate about helping professionals navigate their career paths, leveraging my expertise in pricing, growth strategy, and digital transformations. Whether you're looking to break into a new industry or accelerate your career growth, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart a course for your success!

Finding a better job (and sooner!) has amazing compounding benefits. You feel stuck, fatigued, lost, or need a jolt to get moving? I don't pretend modern job hunting is easy, but I'm optimistic we can get you somewhere great. I'm a former Director at Spotify, a Harvard Business School grad, and have career coached for 10+ years — I'd be honored to help. Three beliefs inform my work as a coach: 1) Job hunting is a skill set which, like many others, can be practiced and improved 2) Careers are long and dream jobs often take multiple steps to build 3) You are capable of more than you think — let's work together to unlock what you’re missing I draw from real-world experience on both sides of the hiring table: I've hired for dozens of roles and interviewed for hundreds of jobs. So I know what recruiters and hiring managers look for, I know how to avoid the many mistakes that can impede success, and I know how to set you up to win. I can help you identify companies to target, get your foot in the door, and get your interviews sharp. I can help discern whether tech, startups, or scaleups are right for you. I'm most interested in helping folks find roles as product managers, sales leaders, managers, and marketers, but most of my practice can be employed nearly universally. My sessions are pragmatic, but I'm not shy about wisecracking. I believe personality fit matters with a coach even more than industry fit. If you're still not sure, but you've read this far, that's a good signal we may be onto something. I'm happy to offer a free intro call so you can feel confident you've got the right coach in your corner — you've got nothing to lose. For a limited time: Send me a connection request on Linkedin and mention Leland, and I'll drop $47 off the second session (the intro call is still free!)

Experienced management consultant and first-generation college graduate with 6+ years across Deloitte, Kearney, and enterprise SaaS, now leading global customer strategy at Workday. Justin built his career without an MBA or a target school pedigree, consistently landing roles that typically require one through intentional networking. Every job he's gotten has come through a connection, not a job board. He's passionate about helping professionals build their networks before they need them, whether you're navigating an industry being reshaped by AI or just want to know that if everything changed tomorrow, you'd have someone to call. He specializes in breaking into strategy and consulting, pivoting into people and talent analytics, and building relationships that create opportunities on their own. His approach is hands-on: auditing your network, building a plan, and coaching you through the outreach that moves the needle.

With 20+ years of experience in leadership development at PwC and Accenture, I specialize in helping individuals uncover and leverage their skills for success. Whether you're exploring a new role, transitioning sectors, or considering a complete career pivot, I guide you through the transformative process with care and expertise. Our journey begins by clarifying your life values, envisioning the changes you want short- and long-term, and setting actionable goals to bring that vision to life. Together, we address mindset shifts and tackle roadblocks that may arise. By combining coaching techniques with deep insight into leadership skill gaps, I help you align your career with your unique strengths and aspirations. I’m dedicated to my clients—providing undivided attention, judgment-free listening, and thoughtful questions to inspire new perspectives. I gently challenge when needed and hold space during emotional moments, always working in service of your growth.

I help ambitious professionals navigate high-stakes career transitions, from breaking into top companies to stepping into leadership roles. I am the former Global Head of Content at On, where I scaled the brand team from 7 to 35 across three continents and led narrative through a $10B IPO. I now coach executives at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. I hold an MFA from Columbia University and speak four languages. Most of my clients already perform at a high level. What brings them to me is the sense that something important is getting lost in translation, culturally more than linguistically. I help them communicate clearly, make confident decisions, and move forward without second-guessing. If your career depends on people in different places understanding you clearly, you are in the right place.

With a background in strategy and data science from Booz Allen and State Street, I specialize in sustainability, finance, and impact-driven careers. As an AVP at State Street, I’ve led $500M+ climate finance and impact investing initiatives. I've also coached 60+ professionals into top roles through my network and building partnerships with Indiana University, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Syracuse University, and others. Whether you’re pivoting industries or leveling up, I’ll help you sharpen your story, ace interviews, and land your next opportunity. Let’s connect!

Career decisions are rarely simple. Most of the people I work with aren't sure what they want next, or they know but aren't sure how to get there, and either way, it helps to have someone in your corner to think it through with. That's the part I love most about coaching: helping you get clear on what matters to you and figuring out a rea way to move toward it. My own journey has taught me a lot about this. As a Navy officer, I've led teams through difficult, high-pressure situations, and along the way I went back to school for an MBA and a couple of master's degrees, so I understand how it feels to juggle big goals with real life. I've also spent years mentoring and coaching people one-on-one, and what I've learned is that no two situations are the same. I'll meet you where you are, listen first, and help you build a plan that actually fits your life, whether you're after a promotion, a change of direction, or just a clearer sense of what's next. If that sounds like what you need, I'd be glad to help.
