Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I help professionals in tech navigate career transitions and build fulfilling careers without exhausting themselves trying to prove they deserve to be there. With 20+ years across product management, executive coaching, and tech leadership (including Google and VP roles), I help you clarify your next move, build authentic leadership presence, and develop the confidence to navigate your career from a place of self-trust; not constant proving. Whether you're exploring a career change, stepping into a new role, or breaking through to leadership, I help you move past the internal barriers that keep you stuck and build a career that aligns with your values and aspirations.

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.

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional career coach here to help you navigate every stage of your professional journey. I know firsthand how overwhelming career decisions can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I launched my own career, I faced intense competition while balancing academic excellence, securing scholarships, and leveraging my network to create meaningful opportunities. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling cover letter and resume but also how to pivot under pressure—a skill I instill in my clients as they navigate their own career challenges. Through my work in Trinity College admissions and recruiting at Boston Children's Hospital and Mass General Brigham, I gained firsthand insight into what makes candidates stand out—not just on paper, but in the minds of decision-makers. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like adaptability, emotional intelligence, and storytelling—can be just as powerful as credentials in securing the right opportunities. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes a candidate shine—whether in applications, interviews, or on the job. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a recent graduate entering the job market, or a professional looking to transition roles, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to advance while maintaining balance and wellness.

My mantra is to be helpful. If I'm not helpful, I'll get out of your way. So much about career satisfaction has to do with fit. Find a place that values you for the things you're uniquely good at and being at work can feel fun, exciting, and also rewarding. I attended Harvard for undergrad and Stanford for my masters. I've worked at 10 person start-ups to 100,000 person companies like Google. I've been an individual contributor and also managed teams of 20+; throughout these experiences, I've learned some of the best questions to ask myself (and others) that can help identify and then successfully get into roles with the best fit.
