Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I work with senior leaders and executives navigating pivotal career moments - stepping into bigger roles, leading through organizational change, or clarifying their next strategic move. My approach focuses on helping you strengthen your leadership presence, sharpen your decision-making, and build the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re in your first 90 days as a VP, working through complex team dynamics, managing increased responsibility, or determining your next career chapter, I create space to think strategically about how you show up and lead. With over a decade at Microsoft coaching executives through transitions and serving in governance leadership at Bowdoin College, I understand the unique pressures of senior roles - the isolation, the weight of decisions, and the need for a trusted space to think out loud. I specialize in: ∙ Leadership transitions: Navigating new roles at the VP/executive level with clarity and intention ∙ Career strategy: Making sense of competing opportunities and aligning decisions with your values and goals ∙ Executive presence: Strengthening how you communicate, influence, and show up in high-stakes environments ∙ Organizational navigation: Understanding power dynamics, building strategic relationships, and leading effectively across complex organizations This isn’t formulaic career advice - it’s grounded, practical support for leaders who need clarity on what matters next and how to get there.

With a 10+ years of experience in corporate strategy and strategy consulting, I bring a wealth of experience in guiding professionals to excel in their careers. I specialize in early career transitions, helping dozens of clients navigate their career paths and transition industries, companies, and roles. My journey began at Michigan's Ross School of Business, where I was actively involved in leadership roles and peer coaching. Over the years, I've successfully coached 100+ individuals, helping them achieve their career goals in various industries. Let's work together to craft a strategic plan for your career success! Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist you.

I’m a certified coach and leadership strategist who helps mid-career professionals navigate transitions, step into leadership, and make confident, values-aligned decisions about what’s next. With a background in talent development, organizational strategy, and equity-centered leadership, I specialize in helping experienced professionals translate their skills into new opportunities without starting over. My clients are often established in their careers but feel stuck, burned out, or ready for more impact. Together, we clarify your direction, refine your professional narrative, and build a strategy that aligns your experience with where you want to go next. I combine deep coaching with practical tools—resume and LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, and leadership positioning—so you gain both insight and momentum. If you’re ready to pivot, grow, or lead with greater purpose, I’ll help you take your next step with clarity and confidence.

I’ve helped professionals at every stage of their careers—from new grads to seasoned leaders—gain clarity, navigate transitions, and build careers that feel meaningful and sustainable. Whether it's coaching clients through major pivots, personal branding, resume positioning, networking strategy, or launching their own ventures, I bring a mix of strategic insight, marketing savvy, and grounded support. Over the course of my career, I’ve guided countless individuals informally and formally—helping them articulate their value, reconnect with what matters most, and make bold moves with confidence. I’ve worked across industries, coached through burnout, identity shifts, entrepreneurship, and everything in between. Career growth isn’t just about the next job—it’s about crafting a path that actually fits you.

Happy to chat if you are interested in consulting, tech, or how to pivot from consulting to tech and how to pivot across functions!

I've made every major career move without a playbook, city government to Goldman Sachs, Goldman to a failed startup, startup to Disney where I now lead AI engineering. Each jump was different and each one taught me something about knowing when to stay, when to go, and how to position yourself for roles that actually fit. I help tech professionals and leaders with career transitions, interview strategy, and figuring out what they want next. Whether you're eyeing VP, pivoting into AI - I've been through it and I coach from experience, not a textbook.

I’ve navigated competitive career paths from both sides: as a candidate pursuing finance roles, and as an investor evaluating people, companies, and opportunities professionally. I have 4+ years of experience across Growth Equity, Venture Capital, and Private Equity, most recently as a Technology Investor at Summit Partners, where I was promoted early. I also graduated from Harvard, where I designed and taught a semester-long Venture Capital course to 100+ undergraduates. My coaching is especially valuable for people pursuing finance, consulting, investing, startups, or broader business roles because I can help them clarify what they actually want from a job, understand how different career paths and company environments compare, and think through opportunities using perspective from my network across tech, operating companies, startups, consulting, finance, and investing. From there, I help clients sharpen their story, prepare for interviews, and make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.

I bring over 12 years of big tech experience to my coaching, including 8 years directly in Product Management where I have navigated the specific pressures and complexities of high-stakes corporate environments. My qualifications are rooted in the dual perspective of a practitioner and a decision-maker; I have not only led major product initiatives through organizational shifts and function changes, but I have also sat on the hiring panels that determine who gets the role and who doesn't. This "insider" knowledge allows me to provide my clients with a clear, unsmoothed view of what leadership is actually looking for in top-tier product talent. Beyond my corporate tenure, I have dedicated myself to the formal study and teaching of career strategy as a guest lecturer at Columbia Business School and NYU. I have spent years hiring, mentoring, and advocating for professionals, helping them master the art of salary negotiation and self-advocacy. I don't just offer abstract advice, I provide a proven framework for navigating NYC’s competitive landscape, setting rigorous goals, and architecting a career path that reflects your true value.

I help professionals in tech navigate career transitions and build fulfilling careers without exhausting themselves trying to prove they deserve to be there. With 20+ years across product management, executive coaching, and tech leadership (including Google and VP roles), I help you clarify your next move, build authentic leadership presence, and develop the confidence to navigate your career from a place of self-trust; not constant proving. Whether you're exploring a career change, stepping into a new role, or breaking through to leadership, I help you move past the internal barriers that keep you stuck and build a career that aligns with your values and aspirations.
