Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I've guided 300+ students from underrepresented backgrounds into competitive careers at top companies, combining personal experience overcoming barriers with proven systems that deliver results. I've personally mentored students who landed roles at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America, often helping them go from having no industry connections to securing life-changing opportunities. My own journey from a first-generation Nigerian-American immigrant to working at firms like General Atlantic, Goldman Sachs, and Lead Edge Capital gives me deep insight into what it really takes to break into competitive industries. I specialize in helping people who feel like outsiders figure out how to get insider access to the careers they want, using practical strategies based on real data from hundreds of successful career transitions.

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.

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 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.

I'm a dedicated career development coach with a diverse background spanning finance, strategy, private equity, and business development. I’ve secured competitive roles at top firms, gaining hands-on experience in all things career development! Currently working at Leland, I’m passionate about helping ambitious professionals navigate competitive industries and achieve their career goals. Having successfully coached 100+ individuals to land roles in top firms, I know what it takes to stand out—from crafting compelling resumes and acing interviews to building strategic networks. Whether you’re breaking into a new field or advancing in your current role, I offer personalized guidance and actionable strategies to help you land offers, not just interviews. Let’s connect and create a tailored plan to accelerate your career success!

I want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it. (This also involves reframing self-limiting beliefs that have kept you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.) I've worked with tons of clients on both sides of the coin - both those trying to get into the worlds I navigated, and those trying to rediscover a cohesive sense of self and tailored plan for growth, after years or even decades in the corporate world.
