Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’m qualified as a career coach because I’ve spent nearly three decades navigating the kinds of career decisions my clients are facing. I’ve built and scaled teams, led global practices, owned P&Ls, and worked closely with senior leaders at Deloitte, KPMG, Rolta, and Amazon Web Services. I’ve experienced promotions, plateaus, reinvention, and high-stakes transitions firsthand—not just advised on them. Alongside this experience, I’m an ICF-ACC certified coach with 125+ hours of formal coaching. My coaching blends structured frameworks with deep real-world context, helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and direction during critical inflection points. I focus on visibility, leadership identity, decision-making, and execution—so clients don’t just choose their next step, but step into it with conviction.

I bring nearly two decades of senior leadership experience within global technology, including over ten years of coaching and developing professionals in corporate environments, alongside four years of formal professional coaching practice. I have coached individuals navigating promotion, redundancy, return-to-work, career pivots, and identity shifts. Having led teams, made high-stakes decisions, and navigated organisational change myself, I understand both the external pressures and internal questions that arise during transition. I specialise in working with mid-career professionals who appear successful on paper but feel uncertain about their next move. My coaching is structured, strategic, and grounded in real-world leadership experience, helping clients think clearly, make aligned decisions, and move forward with confidence. I am trained in professional coaching methodologies and am currently progressing toward ICF accreditation.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in technology and business, I bring over a decade of experience in roles such as Senior Solutions Engineer at Salesforce and Senior Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks.

I hold an MBA in International Business and Global Leadership, which complements my practical experience and allows me to offer strategic career advice. Whether you're looking to break into the tech industry or advance within it, I'm here to help you achieve your career goals. Let's connect and create a tailored plan for your success!

My career has been intentionally non-linear. I’ve worked across banking, venture capital, startup CFO roles, and now manage a $400M+ hedge fund. I’ve made multiple pivots — some planned, some uncertain at the time — and understand how to reposition experience, communicate transferable skills, and move into roles that don’t look obvious on paper. If you’re thinking about breaking into finance, moving from operator to investor, pivoting industries, or leveling up into leadership roles, I focus on strategy first. We’ll clarify where you want to go, what narrative supports that move, and how to execute with credibility.

I’ve had an nontraditional career path to get to where I am today (government > consulting > big tech), and I want to help others do the same. I coach under my friend’s career consulting company, and I personally make sure I interview on a regular basis to help my clients the best way that I can. Some of my highlights below: ** I’ve helped 570+ people in the past 4 years, from college students to Fortune 500 directors ** In the past 5 years, I’ve had 654 interviews, with 91 final rounds & 23 offers across hundreds of companies ** I’ve pivoted my career, bounced back after taking time off, and maintained steady employment in a terrible job market I can tailor my client's needs into a personalized prep strategy based on their needs, experience, and goals. Don't hesitate to reach out for an exploratory conversation!

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.

Over the last six years, I have coached hundreds of students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for the job search.

My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the employers. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!
