Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’ve navigated a career path that spans consulting, Big Tech, and mid-market PE operations - experiences that give me a unique perspective as a coach. I started in management consulting at Deloitte, advising executives on strategy and transformation. From there, I transitioned into Google, where I worked across partnerships, strategy, and technical sales, learning how to thrive in one of the world’s most competitive tech environments. Today, as a Director of operations at Valsoft, I act as an operations executive across a portfolio of software companies, helping leadership teams grow and operate effectively. Having made these transitions myself, I know firsthand how to break into new industries, succeed once you’re in, and build the skills to lead — and I bring that experience directly into my coaching.

I've coached dozens of clients through career transitions, from fields as diverse as sports management and hedge funds into everything from food & wine to venture capital. I excel at helping clients make non-traditional pivots into more fulfilling and rewarding careers. My approach is inspired by my own series of transitions, from studying economics in undergrad to the Army Special Forces to investing at a deep tech venture capital firm to becoming a full-time coach. I draw on depth psychology and a variety of contemplative traditions to help clients find clarity and conviction in their next move.

Senior Strategy and Ops Associate at LinkedIn, focusing on topics like leading various A/B tests, owning business planning and performance, and co-leading our team's AI Center of Excellence, where I identify and scale AI use cases across our team. Cross-functional collaboration with teams across LinkedIn, including Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Finance. Over the years, I’ve coached dozens of students and working professionals from non-target schools who have gone on to land roles at tech companies, startups, banks, and more. I coach because I know how opaque and unfair the recruiting process can feel, especially if you didn’t come from a target school or a traditional business background. I’ve been on the other side of that uncertainty - figuring out networking from scratch, learning how to communicate effectively, and translating my real experience into something firms would value. Coaching lets me shorten that learning curve for others, cut through the online noise and bad advice, and help people approach the process with clarity, structure, and confidence

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.
