Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I provide offer review and negotiation coaching — helping clients clarify their goals, understand typical compensation structures, and confidently negotiate their total package. I do not provide legal advice or representation. All coaching is for educational and strategic purposes only.

I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate major transitions - both chosen and unexpected. Over the years, I’ve moved from consulting into big tech, shifted from sales operations to product operations, and eventually into product management and co-founding my own company. I’ve also experienced the challenges of burnout, uncertainty, and identity shifts that come with leaving behind one version of yourself to step into another. Having worked in both the USA and Brazil, and studied in France and Singapore, I bring a global perspective that helps me connect with clients from diverse backgrounds who are navigating their own turning points. What I’ve learned is that career and life transitions aren’t just about skills or strategy - they’re about aligning with what truly matters to you. Whether you’re moving from corporate to startup, shifting industries, or rethinking your path entirely, I can help you explore the deeper patterns and beliefs driving your choices, while also mapping out concrete steps forward. My own journey across countries, industries, and roles taught me how to navigate ambiguity with clarity and resilience - and I now bring that same support to clients ready to create meaningful change in their own lives.
