Career Coaching Coaches

Take a structured approach to landing your next role. This can be hard - and I personally have navigated this many times and have helped others navigate it. Understanding the role requirements, how you should go about pursuing it, and how to frame your experience are learnable skills! With practice, I am convinced that anyone can successfully achieve their goal career role. As a former HR Business Partner at Amazon and Management Consultant, I have worked extensively with hundreds of friends, family, and colleagues from a variety of backgrounds to refine resumes, write cover letters, and practice interviewing. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls Don't hesitate to reach out!

I know what hiring managers are looking for, and I specialize in helping you tell your story in a way that opens $100K+ doors. As a nationally ranked debater and a product manager who’s built my own career at top companies like LinkedIn & HubSpot, I bring a strategic lens to everything from resume rewrites to interview prep.

Over the last decade, I’ve coached high-performing professionals through some of the most important inflection points in their careers—navigating career pivots, rising into leadership roles, re-entering the workforce, and building confidence to take bold next steps. My clients span industries including tech, marketing, finance, and nonprofit, and many have successfully transitioned into roles they once thought were out of reach. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly understand your unique strengths, clarify what you want (and why), and help you map a path forward that’s both strategic and personally fulfilling. I bring a blend of practical insight, deep listening, and honest accountability that helps clients not only land their next opportunity—but do it in a way that aligns with who they are and what they truly want.

I’m a former McKinsey Business Analyst with experience on both sides of the table, as a successful applicant and as a recruiter. I know what MBB and other top firms are looking for, and how to help you stand out. While at McKinsey, I led campus recruiting efforts for WashU, where I evaluated hundreds of consulting candidates. I ran case prep workshops, reviewed resumes, and 1:1 coaching sessions to prepare students for the rigorous interview process. Internally, I also led a hiring accelerator for a client where I built the hiring rubrics, screened applications, and advised executives on who to interview and hire, giving me firsthand insight into how firms make hiring decisions. Today, I’m on Google’s Business Operations & Strategy team — a small, high-impact group that drives cross-functional AI strategy across the company. As a coach, I’ve helped 50+ candidates land offers. My background at a top consulting firm and tech companies allow me to help you tell a compelling story, sharpen your candidacy, network efficiently, and build a personalized recruiting game plan. Coaching is deeply personal for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors who invested in me, and I love paying that forward. Whether you're navigating your first consulting application or pushing for a final-round breakthrough, I’d love to help you land the job.

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.
