Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I specialize in helping ambitious people find clarity to make career decisions that others call risky. I've coached people through finding new career paths, deciding on grad school, changing jobs, and launching businesses. My clients are leaders and high performers who are considering moves that involve risks or don't fit the traditional narrative—major career pivots, walking away from prestigious opportunities, or choosing the less “safe” option. My approach is rooted in established frameworks—Adult Developmental Theory, Adaptive Leadership, and Immunity to Change, among others. I've received training in leading and managing change from Harvard Kennedy School, Minds at Work, and Cultivating Leadership, and I am currently pursuing my PCC-level ICF coaching certification. Most career coaching is advice-based and about minimizing or managing risk. I help people do something much harder: rebalance your risk appetite and find unconventional ways to take smart risks. My coaching is about rethinking your “negative space” to expand what's possible. Whether you're navigating a pivot or weighing a decision that feels like it defies conventional wisdom, I'll help you find clarity and take action.

Alongside my role at Google as a Finance PM, I’ve spent nearly five years coaching more than 1,400 professionals across industries and seniority levels, helping turn career transitions into six-figure opportunities. From university students and career switchers to directors and VPs, I use structured, outcome-driven frameworks to sharpen positioning, strengthen storytelling, and improve results across resumes, interviews, networking, and offer negotiations. I've had the privilege of sharing my perspectives as a keynote speaker at 120+ career events. What makes this work meaningful are the people behind the outcomes. I’ve helped H1-B candidates secure roles under intense time pressure, guided students toward their first full-time opportunities, supported professionals pivoting into entirely new industries, and coached executives pursuing C-suite positions. Experiences like these are exactly why I love what I do, and to this day, career coaching remains the most fulfilling and rewarding work I’ve ever done, and likely ever will.

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.

I bring over a decade of experience in leadership, organizational training and leadership development, and human resources, supporting high-performing professionals in demanding corporate environments. I work with ambitious professionals who want to perform at a high level, navigate careers, and position themselves for growth and promotion. Many of my clients are navigating: - Career transitions or preparing for key interviews - Stepping into or growing in leadership roles - Feeling overwhelmed or stretched too thin at work - Disorganized workloads and competing priorities - Performance pressure and visibility challenges How I can help: - Work through interview anxiety so you can show up clearly and perform at your best - Improve your day-to-day performance so you’re seen as a strong contributor - Get out of overwhelm and organize your work in a way that actually holds up - Build confidence and clarity in high-stakes situations - Navigate career decisions and transitions with a practical approach What makes my approach different is that I bring a real-world understanding of how leaders evaluate performance, make promotion decisions, and choose who stands out. I’ve worked closely with leaders and teams in high-pressure environments, and I bring that perspective into our sessions, so you’re not just guessing what matters, you’re working from how decisions are actually made. I take a practical, structured approach to coaching. We focus on what’s actually happening in your work so you can make real progress. Our sessions are designed to help you move forward with clarity and consistency, while still adapting to what you need most in the moment.

I’m a finance professional with close to 10 years of experience across investment banking, structured finance and private credit, currently working as an Executive Director in Private Credit at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Before GSAM, I spent several years at Société Générale CIB in Paris and Milan, advising and financing institutional investors, private equity funds and financial sponsors on complex credit transactions. I’m passionate about helping ambitious students and young professionals understand what finance really looks like from the inside — the skills that matter, how deals work, how to tell a strong story, and how to prepare effectively for competitive roles. I can help with CVs, LinkedIn positioning, networking strategy, technical interview preparation, mock interviews and career transitions into investment banking, private credit, asset management and buy-side roles.

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.

I bring 20+ years of experience with a robust blend of technical, strategic, and leadership expertise to my coaching practice. Having worked across engineering, consulting, product marketing, and product management, I understand the complexities of navigating diverse roles and career transitions. As a career coach, my goal is to empower leaders to accelerate their careers, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful personal and professional growth. Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles at top companies such as Bill.com, Intuit, LinkedIn, and PayPal. At Bill.com, as VP of Product Management, I played a key role in driving the company’s revenue growth by over 10x to >$1B ARR. These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of what it takes to lead with impact, drive innovation, and build high-performing teams. I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Drawing on my own non-linear career journey, I provide personalized coaching to help leaders stand out, achieve their next promotion, plan strategic career moves, or prepare for new and exciting roles. If you’re ready to unlock your full potential and take your leadership to the next level, I’m here to help guide your journey.

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.

I’ve led recruitment for roles ranging from interns to senior directors, giving me a full-spectrum understanding of what different levels of hiring truly require. Having reviewed thousands of CVs and conducted countless interviews, I know exactly what differentiates a candidate who is “qualified” from one who is genuinely compelling. My expertise goes beyond standard interview tips. I specialize in helping people clearly articulate their impact, structure their achievements using methods like STAR, and present their career story in a way that resonates with decision-makers. I’ve supported professionals in landing new roles, securing internal promotions, and confidently navigating career transitions by strengthening how they position their skills, results, and potential. Clients work with me for practical, honest, and actionable guidance grounded in real hiring decisions. I help you understand how recruiters and hiring managers think, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start communicating your value with clarity and confidence.
