Career Coaching Coaches

Welcome to my profile! With a PhD in Engineering from Auburn University and a Mini-Management Program from Harvard Business School, I bring a robust blend of technical expertise and management acumen to career development coaching. My experience spans leading innovative projects with NASA and driving sustainability initiatives at PepsiCo, where I co-led a global team to achieve significant emissions reductions. As a Climate and Sustainable Development Fellow with the Environmental Defense Fund, I was selected twice from a competitive pool, underscoring my commitment to advancing climate solutions. Currently, I manage portfolios at Walmart, leveraging my strategic insights to optimize performance. Whether you're looking to transition into corporate roles or enhance your strategic impact in your current position, I'm here to guide you. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I'm an expert in the professional version of hopscotch: I've jumped across industries, sectors, functions, pay grades, cities, countries, and more. There's of course a thread that ties my career arc together - I'd love to tell you about it. But overall, I've followed what's tugged at my heartstrings in the moment, believing that I can continue to weave that thread toward more and more fulfilling and impactful work over time. Lots of lessons learned thus far, but I'd say it's going alright. All of these career pitstops mean I know a good bit about a lot of very different working environments (including consulting, big tech, education, workforce development, childcare, national service, place-based partnerships, philanthropy, and government). And perhaps more importantly, I'm very well-versed in the networking and job search strategies needed to make your next pivot in any direction on the career ladder. I don't take myself too seriously - just trying to bring energy and joy to my career (and life overall) day in and day out. If anything about my hopscotch-y background grabs your attention, I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

I've reinvented my career more than once, and I'm here to help you do the same. I've gone from liberal arts background --> big tech --> nonprofits --> MBA --> management consulting --> influencer marketing --> VC-backed AI startup. Each pivot came with its own uncertainty, self-doubt, and steep learning curve. And each one taught me something I now bring to my coaching. Over the years, I've noticed a pattern: ambitious people who know something needs to change but feel too scattered, anxious, or overwhelmed to act. They have clarity but no capacity. Or capacity but no clarity. As a certified life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and energy healing practitioner — with a Dartmouth MBA and over a decade in high-pressure environments — I bring together career clarity work with nervous system regulation and contemplative practice. It's a combination I haven't seen anywhere else, and it's the one I wish I'd had during my own pivots. I work with operators, founders, consultants, and ambitious professionals who are: • Navigating career transitions or pivots • Feeling misaligned or stuck • Ready to take on their next big professional challenge • Committed to building sustainable success over chasing impressive titles If you're trying to break into AI, make the leap from consulting to tech, or simply figure out what's next, I'd love to help you get there with both the strategy and the inner steadiness to pull it off.

Recognized need for consolidated biographical narrative formatI'm Sam, an incoming McKinsey Associate and May 2026 Columbia MBA. Before business school, I was a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain in New Delhi and worked in global financial structuring at PwC in New York. During my MBA, I recruited for and landed both a McKinsey offer and a Senior PM role at Amazon, running both tracks simultaneously as an international student. I've been through MBB recruiting twice, navigated M7 admissions, and sat in FAANG PM interviews. I coach the way the best mentors in my life coached me: direct, specific, and focused on closing the gap between qualified and prepared!

My passion for career coaching started early—I was a Peer Career Advisor at Brown, where I helped classmates refine resumes, prepare for interviews, and explore different paths. That interest only deepened during my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where my education was steeped in leadership, coaching, and career development. At GSB, I not only went through the process of making my own career decisions in banking, private equity, and startups, but also supported classmates in navigating some of the toughest inflection points of their careers. Helping people figure out their next move has long been more than a job for me—it’s a passion. Part of that comes from watching my mom take so many twists and turns in her own career, which taught me that there’s no single “right” path. With the right guidance, support, and structure, you can make bold transitions and land in the role that feels right for you. As a coach, I combine the structured frameworks and world-class training I developed at Stanford GSB with candid, personalized advice. Whether you’re seeking your first job, pivoting industries, or aiming for your dream role, I’ll help you clarify your goals, sharpen your story, and approach the process with confidence.
