Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

With over a decade of hands-on experience navigating high-stakes career transitions, I bring a proven track record of strategic career development and advancement. I spent eight years in investment banking, earning early promotions at every level through a combination of relentless work ethic, effective networking, and deliberate career management.

I landed a C-suite role immediately after business school and now serve as Vice President of Business Strategy. My journey reflects a deep understanding of how to position oneself for success—whether it’s breaking into competitive industries, accelerating career growth, or making bold pivots—and I use that insight to help others do the same.
