I’ve spent the last several years helping people navigate high-impact career decisions while building and leading teams at fast-growing startups. As CTO & co-founder at Leland, I’ve worked closely with hiring, interviewing, mentorship, leadership development, and team building across engineering and cross-functional roles. My experience includes: CTO & Co-founder at Leland Former Head of Engineering leading and scaling engineering teams Hiring and mentoring engineers across internship, entry-level, senior, and leadership roles Conducting technical and behavioral interviews for candidates from a wide range of backgrounds Advising people on career direction, compensation, promotions, leadership growth, and startup vs. big tech decisions I work best with ambitious people who want clear, practical, and honest guidance on questions like: What should I optimize for in my career right now? How do I position myself for better opportunities? Should I pursue startups, big tech, management, or entrepreneurship? How do I become a stronger communicator, leader, or operator? How do I stand out in competitive hiring processes? My coaching style is direct, strategic, and highly actionable. I focus less on generic advice and more on helping people make thoughtful decisions that compound over time.

With 15+ years in tech and leadership roles at companies like Microsoft and AT&T, I’ve helped dozens of professionals land roles, change careers, and find clarity in uncertain moments. I specialize in helping people tell their story with confidence, prepare for interviews, organize their resumes, and reconnect with their self-worth during transitions. Whether you're entering the corporate world or making a big leap, I’m here to be your advocate, sounding board, and strategist.

I'm currently working in early stage VC, but during my time at Harvard Business School and prior, I spent extensive time working with coaches and mentors on career development. I've navigated multiple career pivots and am here to support you as you think about career development, strategy, goals, and how to achieve them.

I provide strategic career coaching for students, early-career, and mid-career professionals seeking to reach the next level in the career, with a specialized focus on candidates from advanced degree backgrounds. Having successfully transitioned from a PhD in Biomedical Engineering to an Associate role at Goldman Sachs, and Corporate Development at a startup, I offer first-hand, tactical insights into how to can effectively translate your skills for the next step. My professional background spans over four years across institutional finance and corporate strategy. This includes SMID Biotech coverage at Goldman Sachs and corporate development at a venture-backed startup with over $650M in funding. Based on these experiences, I provide guidance that is deeply grounded in how various companies evaluate talent and personal experience. To date, my clients have successfully leveraged my coaching to secure competitive roles at leading companies. Whether you are navigating a mid-career transition or launching your professional path after graduation, I am committed to serving as a dedicated partner and strategic resource throughout your career development.

I am a 20+ year sales & marketing executive that has worked at Fortune 500 companies (P&G, Google, and Meta), and have been a Chief Revenue Officer at an AI analytics startup. I have interviewed and managed people at all ends of the spectrum from new hires to VP / excecs, in the US and APAC. I have a passion for developing others and helping the next generation of leaders to succeed. My purpose in life is to help people connect the dots to breathe life into their imagined futures. I believe my frameworks can also help people figure out what they want out of their careers and personal success / happiness.

I support individuals through career transitions by bringing clarity to direction and precision to positioning. With a background in leadership at Oracle, I help you craft a cohesive narrative that bridges where you’ve been with where you’re going—and communicate your strengths, perspective, and future contribution with confidence and intention.

I’ve spent 20+ years in tech and product leadership across Amazon, American Express, startups, and consulting. I started as an engineer, moved into product, and have reinvented my path multiple times, including a recent pivot toward AI. Along the way I’ve made good moves, bad moves, and a lot of course corrections, and I’ve sat on the other side of the table as a hiring manager and senior leader. I coach both early-career and mid-career professionals. If you’re just starting out, I can help you choose roles, build skills, and make decisions that open doors later instead of closing them. If you’re mid-career, we’ll clarify what you actually want next, tune your story and materials, and build a focused plan to move toward roles in product, tech, or AI that fit your life and goals.

As a seasoned product leader with over a decade of experience in product management and strategic growth / consulting roles at top companies like Uber, Fluidity (ConsenSys), American Express, and Accenture I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you advance your career. Whether you're looking to break into product management or accelerate your career in tech, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support to chart a path to your career success.
