Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’ve coached hundreds of tech professionals through interviews, promotions, pivots, and high-stakes career decisions. My background spans 20+ years in hiring and team leadership at LinkedIn, Microsoft, Lyft, and multiple startups. I’ve made hiring decisions as a people leader, partnered with execs on critical searches, and worked inside talent teams, so I know exactly how candidates get evaluated, and why some stall out. I specialize in turning career stories into offers. Whether you’re interviewing for a big next role, positioning yourself for internal growth, or planning a strategic pivot, I help you show up sharp, confident, and differentiated. My coaching is grounded in real-world hiring experience and shaped by what it actually takes to get hired and promoted in tech.

Over 13 yrs, I've helped 6,000+ career changers get clear on their positioning, optimize their search, and land roles clients land roles across 20+ different fields - from people, art, & communication careers (therapy, marketing, L&D) to STEM (engineering, quant finance, AI/ML). I specialize in neurodivergence & nonlinear career paths, with clients consistently entering roles in quant/STEM. We focus on getting clear on what you want and what you don't, then balancing branding, upskilling, and networking (all essential in this market). We also focus on what's working in THIS market, where you need to balance searching for a bridge job (something temporary where you can get your foot in the door) and getting closer to your target role (what you actually want to be doing next). You'll receive guidance, frequent feedback, and - for packages - have access to an online community for job seekers and career changers. I've worked with hundreds of recruiters and hiring managers over the years (working on hiring teams and sourcing candidates), so I provide insight into the unspoken criteria they are weighing you against, and how you stack up to your conversation.

I help ambitious professionals navigate high-stakes career transitions, from breaking into top companies to stepping into leadership roles. I am the former Global Head of Content at On, where I scaled the brand team from 7 to 35 across three continents and led narrative through a $10B IPO. I now coach executives at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. I hold an MFA from Columbia University and speak four languages. Most of my clients already perform at a high level. What brings them to me is the sense that something important is getting lost in translation, culturally more than linguistically. I help them communicate clearly, make confident decisions, and move forward without second-guessing. If your career depends on people in different places understanding you clearly, you are in the right place.
