Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

With a career built at the intersection of Google, McKinsey, and a top-tier MBA program, I have navigated the exact high-stakes environments you are currently facing. My coaching is rooted in the reality of these industries: I don't just know what "good" looks like, I know how to strategically position yourself to achieve it. Having coached individuals across tech, consulting, and finance, I specialize in helping professionals decode the unspoken rules of the corporate ladder, whether that means turning difficult feedback into a promotion roadmap or mastering the art of self-advocacy without burning bridges. I bring a dual perspective to our sessions. From my time at Google, I understand the nuances of impact-driven growth in tech; through my transition to landing an offer at McKinsey before even starting my MBA, I’ve mastered the structured communication and rigorous problem-solving required in elite consulting. My goal is to be your strategic partner, helping you move past the "day-to-day" grind to focus on the high-leverage moves—like manager management and promotion strategy that actually move the needle on your career trajectory.

My bespoke coaching leverages 12 years of international experience in elite Big Law and Investment Banking as trusted adviser to the world’s leading corporate clients and senior leaders on their most critical strategic priorities. Utilising my deep understanding of how to thrive amidst the intense pressures of working in the most demanding professional environments and learnings from human psychology and elite athletes, I excel at facilitating peak performance and sustained success for my clients, their teams and businesses. My clients cover the full career spectrum from the most senior executives to early career professionals, who I have helped gain admission/transition to, excel in and get promoted through the ranks of the world's leading businesses. Unlike a lot of 'executive coaching', my approach is focused on coaching the whole person (not just the 'professional') to ensure the most profoundly deep-rooted, enduring and sustainable impact on clients' personal and professional lives - and it's why so many of my clients have described it as "life-changing". If you want to build a career and life aligned with your core values and ambitions, grounded in unshakeable self-confidence, and equipped with the resilience and capabilities to excel in the face of any challenge, let's connect and develop a roadmap to bring you lifelong success, happiness and fulfilment!

As part of the founding team at Mosaic, an early-stage venture capital firm that raised $200M, I’ve spent over a decade leading fundraising, business development and strategic partnerships initiatives - and working alongside some of the biggest names in sports to bridge on-field and on-court excellence with access to cap tables and boardrooms. This journey has given me a front-row seat to how top performers think, evolve, and lead. I’ve built teams, navigated complex business landscapes, and helped transform potential into performance - in startups, corporations, and people alike. As a coach, I draw from these experiences to focus on you - the person behind the title.

Recognized need for consolidated biographical narrative formatI'm Sam, an incoming McKinsey Associate and May 2026 Columbia MBA. Before business school, I was a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain in New Delhi and worked in global financial structuring at PwC in New York. During my MBA, I recruited for and landed both a McKinsey offer and a Senior PM role at Amazon, running both tracks simultaneously as an international student. I've been through MBB recruiting twice, navigated M7 admissions, and sat in FAANG PM interviews. I coach the way the best mentors in my life coached me: direct, specific, and focused on closing the gap between qualified and prepared!

I started my career without a traditional path. After leaving college, I was able to reposition my experience and secure a highly competitive marketing internship at Disney, selected from a pool of over 15,000 candidates. I went on to join Disney full time in integrated marketing, where I was promoted within two years. I later transitioned into the tech industry and became the youngest manager in my company’s history. I currently work in strategy at a Fortune 2 company, where I lead large scale partnerships with major technology and social media platforms. In parallel, I have consistently secured interviews and opportunities with companies including Netflix, Paramount, and several FAANG organizations. My experience has given me a clear understanding of what drives results in competitive hiring processes. This includes how to position your background for different roles, how to communicate your value clearly, and how to navigate interviews and negotiations effectively. I now work with professionals who want to be more intentional about their careers, whether that means breaking into competitive companies, pivoting industries, or accelerating their progression. I help clients refine their narrative, strengthen their resumes, and approach the job search with a more strategic and structured process.

As a career coach, I am dedicated to helping individuals discover their unique strengths, overcome challenges, and navigate the complexities of their professional journeys. My approach blends empathy, deep listening, and actionable strategies to guide clients toward fulfilling careers. First and foremost, I take the time to truly understand each person’s aspirations, skills, and values. I recognize that no two individuals are the same, and I tailor my coaching to meet their specific goals, whether it's advancing in their current role, making a career transition, or finding their true passion. My ability to connect with people on a personal level allows me to provide guidance that feels authentic and meaningful. I also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in various industries, which allows me to offer practical insights and advice that can be immediately implemented. My clients benefit from not only my expertise but also my commitment to continuous learning, as I stay current with industry trends and best practices. Most importantly, I foster a supportive and motivating environment that encourages clients to take bold steps towards their career goals. Whether they need help with job search strategies, interview preparation, resume building, or personal branding, I am there every step of the way to ensure they feel confident and prepared for success. Ultimately, my goal is to empower individuals to achieve their professional dreams and unlock their fullest potential, making me a good career coach because I genuinely care about their success.
