Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I help ambitious mid-career tech professionals, especially women and minorities, break through to leadership roles. My approach combines: • 12+ years in tech product, including 5+ as a people manager, building teams and products that help people grow • My own path from IC PM to product leader across startups and public companies, with insights into hundreds of hiring and promotion decisions • 60+ hours of ICF training and 100+ hours coaching values-driven professionals and young adults to discover and pursue the life they truly want • Ongoing study in SEL, behavioral science, strengths-based coaching, and CBT principles

My qualifications are rooted in the reality of navigating Silicon Valley’s most competitive environments, including 13 years at Google where I served on the Hiring Committee for five years. That experience gave me an insider’s view on exactly what separates a "good" candidate from a "hired" one, allowing me to successfully prepare many individuals for the interview process. Beyond getting people in the door, I have guided dozens of employees through the rigorous path to promotion, helping them master the executive narratives and strategic roadmaps required to level up. I remain in close contact with many of these mentees today, a testament to the lasting impact of our work together. My approach is built on the fact that I have lived this journey, extracting the lessons from my own rapid career progression to offer you actionable, battle-tested advice. I know the difference between working hard and working strategically, and I can help you identify the specific levers that will accelerate your growth. I lead with empathy and experience, meeting you where you are to help you navigate your next career move with confidence.

Across my 15 year career at companies such as Google I have directly managed and mentored folks across all areas of tech including product management, data science, software engineering, business analysis and more and more to be successful in their careers.

I have worked for over 30 years with hundreds of students and clients seeking to start their career, or to change fields. I work in particular with lawyers seeking to switch fields and careers, and with pre-law students looking to enter the field of law, as well as with law students, and college students in general. I have published two books and many articles on the topic of career change, and finding a job/career. I was an Assistant Dean of a very large multi-campus Pre-law Advising program at a major university for many years. I was also a Director in the Career Services Office of a major law school for several years and have also had my own private career coaching practice. I am also experienced in administering and interpreting several career inventories.

I help mid-career and senior professionals navigate career transitions with clarity, confidence, and strategy. With a track record of building recruitment processes and assessing talent for world-class companies like McKinsey and Amazon, I know exactly what employers look for and how hiring decisions are made. I combine that insider knowledge with my certifications in life and success coaching, mindset coaching, NLP and an ACC level certicication from ICF to deliver a unique approach that blends practical job search strategy with transformational mindset work. My clients leave our sessions with a clear plan, stronger positioning, and the tools to secure opportunities that align with their goals, strengths, and values.

My path to career coaching runs through two decades of working inside the kinds of institutions and decisions my clients are navigating. Corporate law at Jones Day came first, focusing on cross-border M&A and Sovereign Wealth transactions and the high-stakes pressure that comes with them. From there, the work expanded into energy and higher education leadership at Johns Hopkins University, and eventually into designing training programs and instructional materials now used by more than one million professionals across major organizations. The rooms where difficult career decisions get made are familiar territory. So is the experience of making several hard ones. A graduate of Columbia Law School and Harvard University, where I majored in Biology, I am a Certified Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Positive Intelligence® trained coach, currently working toward my ICF PCC credentials. The methodologies behind the work are grounded in decision-pattern analysis and mental fitness, which means sessions go beyond advice and strategy. The goal is building the internal capacity to make decisions clearly and follow through on them.
