Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I started my product management journey through a competitive development program where I was one of the few participants from a non-traditional background, having studied International Affairs before breaking into tech. Since then, I’ve worked across both front-end and back-end teams, led high-impact initiatives, and earned a promotion within my company. My true expertise lies in helping others crack the case, especially those coming from non-technical or unconventional paths. I’ve mastered behavioral and case-style interviews and love coaching others to tell their story with confidence and clarity. Beyond my day-to-day work, I’ve served on leadership councils, represented my company at major conferences, and played an active role in developing early-career talent. Whether you’re preparing for your first product role, navigating a new environment, or trying to translate your non-technical background into a compelling product story, I’m here to help you do it with strategy, confidence, and authenticity.

With 8 different roles across a 10 year career in Sales and Marketing from LinkedIn and a Series A startup, I've learned countless lessons in career navigation. As I pursue my masters in Mental Health Counseling, I'm driven to apply these learnings and my experience as a mentor and coach to help others navigate their own career journey both personally and professionally. I approach every coaching relationship with authenticity, co-determination, and empathy to help individuals get unstuck!

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in law and business, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a corporate attorney at a Fortune 500 company, mediator, and arbitrator, I've honed my skills in negotiation, conflict resolution, and strategic business advising. My role as a Career Design Coach for Graduate Business Students at Santa Clara University has allowed me to guide over hundreds of individuals in navigating career transitions, developing clear plans for career development, and articulating networking strategies. I am particularly passionate about conflict coaching, which brings the best of interpersonal skills development and executive coaching together to chart a path forward to reduce any manner of friction which may be preventing a project or professional relationship from reaching new levels of success. Whether you're looking to transition into a new field, refine your negotiation skills or find a thought sparring partner, I'm here to provide tailored support and insights. Let's connect and chart a course for your career success!

I've reinvented my career more times than I can count, and every single pivot meant entering both a new function and a new market. I started in marketing in Taiwan, moved into chief of staff and e-commerce operations, then joined Google, first in product operations in Hong Kong covering APAC, then in sales for China. Later, I transitioned into product management with no technical background, eventually becoming a Senior Technical PM at Amazon in New York. Along the way, I co-founded a consulting firm, published two books, and recently left corporate to launch my own startup. No transition came with a clear roadmap. I know what it feels like to be stuck, uncertain, and wondering "what's next?" I hold an MBA from Wharton, a Master's in Education from Penn, and am a professionally trained Co-Active coach. My approach isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you organize your thoughts, see your options more clearly, and make decisions that feel right for you. If you're navigating a career change, feeling stuck, or figuring out your next chapter, I've been there, and I'd be glad to help.

I have worked in career coaching for several years, formally and informally, building on a much longer career spent coaching people inside technology companies. After stepping away from full time corporate leadership, I began working directly with individuals as a career coach, focusing on engineers, engineering managers, and senior ICs navigating growth, transition, and uncertainty. This work grew naturally out of the coaching and mentoring I had already been doing for over a decade inside organizations like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. I am qualified to coach in this category because I bring both real world leadership experience and a deep understanding of how careers actually progress in modern tech companies. I have helped clients get promoted, move into management, recover from setbacks, and make intentional career pivots. I understand performance systems, promotion processes, and the unspoken dynamics that often determine outcomes. My coaching is direct, honest, and practical, grounded in lived experience rather than generic advice. I help clients gain clarity, make confident decisions, and take concrete steps forward in their careers.

I have personally made numerous specialty movements in my time in the technology sector. From finance to human resources, then project management, and finally settling in product operations, I have navigated through changes with different bosses in different stage organizations. I believe we should all be in sectors or positions that we are passionate about, and most skills can be transferrable to many disciplines. Let's me help you map out where you are and then make a plan to get you to where you want to be.

Navigating my own career pivots has provided me with invaluable insights into the intricacies of defining and achieving career goals. My journey—from pursuing a path in medicine at Yale to obtaining an MBA/MPA and transitioning into human capital consulting—has equipped me with a unique blend of skills and experiences. This diverse background not only allows me to understand the challenges faced by job seekers but also equips me with the tools to help them excel in today's competitive job market. My successful navigation of some of the most selective environments, including admissions to both Harvard and MIT and securing roles in prestigious management consulting firms, underscores my ability to recognize what sets top candidates apart. Coupled with my HR expertise, I provide comprehensive support in crafting personal brands, tailoring resumes, and writing compelling cover letters that authentically represent each client’s story. Whether you're aiming to break into a competitive industry, make a career pivot, or explore your next steps, I bring a personalized approach that equips you with the confidence and clarity needed to secure your next great opportunity.

I tripled my salary in 5 years and negotiated a fully remote status in Hawaii when my company pushed RTO. Now I coach job seekers to do the same: sharper positioning, stronger interviews (including case), and higher offers. I work in strategy & ops at Visa on executive-facing, high-impact initiatives. I’ve held roles in corporate strategy and revenue operations at Visa and Lucid Software. I’ve coached clients into opportunities across strategy, marketing, tech sales, tourism, and even medical school admissions. Previous clients have landed offers from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Visa, and the Department of Defense to name a few. If you’re ready to make a move, I’d love to help you chart the most direct path to it.

I coach ambitious professionals navigating high-stakes career transitions—particularly into investment banking, private equity, venture capital, startups, and global leadership roles. Over 25+ years, I have built and led companies across private equity, venture capital, family offices, and digital health. I have raised and deployed capital, executed cross-border acquisitions and joint ventures across multiple continents, and served as both a C-suite executive and board member. I understand how talent is evaluated at the highest levels—not only by hiring managers, but by investors and boards accountable for performance. My coaching focuses on strategic positioning: clarifying your narrative, sharpening your differentiation, and ensuring you compete effectively in highly selective environments. Whether you are pursuing PE/VC recruiting, transitioning through an MBA, pivoting industries, or stepping into broader leadership responsibility, I help you think like a decision-maker—not just a candidate. I bring both operator and investor perspective so you position yourself not just for your next role, but for long-term leverage.

I have 10+ years experience in career coaching and own a family-owned executive search firm called Wing and Associates where we help candidates get into top companies. I excel with resume and cover letter writing as well as helping folks with interview prep.
