Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

For over a decade, I've built digital products, concierge services, and AI tooling for job seekers and recruiters in tech -- providing them tech-enabled services and coaching through job search moments and ongoing career + executive progression. I'm now the founder and CEO of Free Agency, supporting talent through job search -- clients have achieved over $400M in job offers since 2019. I've coached startup founders, directors at startups and big tech, early career individuals who now work at OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Notion, Spotify, YouTube, EA, Roblox, to name just a few, as well as hundreds at early stage, venture-backed startups. You name the company and the context, I can help.

Welcome to my profile! With a dual degree from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to career development coaching. As a Consultant at The Bridgespan Group, I have delivered high-impact consulting services to both non-profit and for-profit organizations, helping them with strategic planning, leadership, and operations management. My experience includes designing growth strategies for startups and assisting a Fortune 500 company in measuring social impact. Additionally, as a Co-Founder and Co-CEO of a non-profit startup, I managed growth operations and was recognized by Harvard Innovation Labs for my work. Whether you're looking to refine your career strategy or navigate complex professional challenges, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and create a plan for your success!

My career doesn't follow a straight line — and that's exactly why I'm qualified to coach this category. I started with a political science degree and a plan to go to law school. That plan fell apart. What followed was a decade of deliberate, sometimes uncomfortable pivots — from Deloitte in Toronto to Accenture in London to Google DeepMind in the Bay Area — each one requiring me to position myself for a role I hadn't done before, in a city I hadn't lived in, for organizations that weren't obviously looking for someone like me. I didn't have a roadmap. I had coaches, mentors, and a willingness to do the work of figuring out how to tell my story in a way that opened doors. I still have a coach today. Not because I've arrived — I'm currently founding an AI startup and completing a Masters at NYU simultaneously — but because I know firsthand what the right guidance at the right moment is worth. It's the difference between spinning in place for another year and making the move that changes everything. That's what I bring to career coaching: not generic advice, not a framework pulled from a book, but pattern recognition from someone who has made the non-linear career work at the highest levels — and who can take your specific situation, your specific background, and help you build a path forward that's actually yours.

Welcome to my profile! I'd like to to help you navigate your career and build your 5- or 10-year career plan because I’ve lived it—and helped others do the same. I’ve spent over a decade leading Strategy & Operations at companies like Uber (as an early employee), Bain, and multiple high-growth B2B SaaS startups. I’ve navigated tough career pivots, earned my MBA from Kellogg, and coached dozens of professionals through big transitions—whether it’s early career planning, MBA admissions, job searching, or shifting into new industries. I get what it’s like to feel stuck or unsure, and I’ve built my coaching practice around helping others find clarity and momentum. What sets me apart as a career coach is how I approach long-term planning: with structure, honesty, and strategy. I’m not here to give generic advice—I’m here to be your thought partner, mentor, and guide. Together, we’ll figure out where you want to go, what stories you need to tell to get there, and how to reverse-engineer the skills and experiences that will unlock the path. My goal isn’t just to help you land the next role—it’s to make sure every move is pointing you in the right direction.

Hi, I’m Mikaela Reyes — I’m a founder, product leader, and immigrant who carved my own path into Silicon Valley. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and came to the U.S. for college — not from a tech feeder school, and without a built-in network. But I hustled my way into the presitgious Kleiner Perkins Fellowship, joined early-stage startups in Silicon Valley, and later became a product manager at LinkedIn, where I led the launch of features like the “I’m hiring” ring. I’m also a founder and CEO. I was part of the inaugural South Park Commons Founder Fellowship, and raised $4.5M of venture funding for a fintech startup called Parallax that’s moved over $150M globally. I want to coach people who, like me, had to navigate visa challenges, non-traditional backgrounds, or male-dominated spaces — and help them break into the world of tech & product with confidence. Whether it’s getting into prestigious fellowships, navigating product roles, becoming a startup founder or telling your story with power — I’m here to help.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in UX research and strategic insights at top companies like Meta and USAA, I have honed my skills in consumer behavior, cross-functional team leadership, and strategic thinking. As a Senior Manager at Meta, I led initiatives that directly influenced product investments and improved user experience, while mentoring emerging leaders in the field.

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.
