Career Coaching Coaches

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.

While in business school, I worked in MBA admissions and saw firsthand how powerful great storytelling can be. That experience sparked what’s become a passion: helping people land life-changing roles in tech. Since then, I’ve coached over 100 job seekers—many from nontraditional paths—into roles at companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and high-growth startups. I support across the full journey: refining resumes, sharpening stories, prepping interviews, and navigating offers and negotiations with confidence. As a hiring manager myself, I’ve conducted 100+ interviews for roles ranging from MBA interns to full-time product managers. I know what top tech companies are really looking for, and I bring that inside perspective to every coaching session. Whether you’re breaking into tech for the first time, pivoting into product marketing, or leveling up, I offer no-fluff, practical guidance to help you stand out and land the job.

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check.

I've reinvented my career more times than I can count, and every single pivot meant entering both a new function and a new market. I started in marketing in Taiwan, moved into chief of staff and e-commerce operations, then joined Google, first in product operations in Hong Kong covering APAC, then in sales for China. Later, I transitioned into product management with no technical background, eventually becoming a Senior Technical PM at Amazon in New York. Along the way, I co-founded a consulting firm, published two books, and recently left corporate to launch my own startup. No transition came with a clear roadmap. I know what it feels like to be stuck, uncertain, and wondering "what's next?" I hold an MBA from Wharton, a Master's in Education from Penn, and am a professionally trained Co-Active coach. My approach isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you organize your thoughts, see your options more clearly, and make decisions that feel right for you. If you're navigating a career change, feeling stuck, or figuring out your next chapter, I've been there, and I'd be glad to help.

As your coach, I offer a unique perspective built upon over 18 years of professional experience and a decade dedicated to empowering others through coaching. My background is rooted in leadership and high-impact operations at companies like Google and YouTube, where I focused on building, scaling, and optimizing high-performing global teams. My qualification comes from a track record of driving results, from managing vast vendor operations in critical functions like Trust & Safety to personally designing and launching a multimillion-dollar sales acquisition program. I specialize in coaching individuals across all stages—from early career professionals to senior leaders—who are serious about achieving their next level of professional success. I guide clients to shift their perspective, moving beyond simply performing their role to strategically managing their career trajectory. I help you master critical skills: translating complex experience into compelling leadership narratives, navigating challenging corporate environments, and mastering the influence needed for promotion. If you are seeking to maximize your professional impact, achieve strategic clarity in a fast-paced world, or make a high-value career move, I provide the proven frameworks and structure to secure transformative growth.

I’ve spent more than two decades on the other side of the table—building and leading recruiting functions for high‑growth companies, from early‑stage startups to global enterprises—so I know how hiring decisions actually get made. I’ve designed interview processes, partnered closely with founders and executives, and helped thousands of candidates navigate complex searches across fintech, AI, and emerging tech, which means I can translate “what companies want” into a clear, practical plan for you. As a founder and operator myself, I coach with an operator’s mindset: we set a target role, build a narrative and portfolio that match it, and then execute with structured outreach, better interviewing, and smart negotiation. Whether you’re breaking into tech, pivoting into AI, or moving up into leadership, I focus on concrete deliverables—sharper positioning, a stronger story, and a repeatable job‑search system—so you leave each session knowing exactly what to do next.

Welcome to my profile! With decades of experience in product management and user experience, I have a proven track record of leading teams and driving innovation at top companies like The Home Depot and Intuit. My journey from a Usability Engineer to a Senior Manager of Product Management has equipped me with the skills to guide professionals in navigating their career paths and achieving their goals. I specialize in helping clients develop strategic career plans, enhance their leadership skills, and excel in product management roles. Whether you're looking to pivot or break into the field or advance to the next level, I'm here to provide personalized guidance and support. Let's connect and chart a course for your career success!

I have worked in career coaching for several years, formally and informally, building on a much longer career spent coaching people inside technology companies. After stepping away from full time corporate leadership, I began working directly with individuals as a career coach, focusing on engineers, engineering managers, and senior ICs navigating growth, transition, and uncertainty. This work grew naturally out of the coaching and mentoring I had already been doing for over a decade inside organizations like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. I am qualified to coach in this category because I bring both real world leadership experience and a deep understanding of how careers actually progress in modern tech companies. I have helped clients get promoted, move into management, recover from setbacks, and make intentional career pivots. I understand performance systems, promotion processes, and the unspoken dynamics that often determine outcomes. My coaching is direct, honest, and practical, grounded in lived experience rather than generic advice. I help clients gain clarity, make confident decisions, and take concrete steps forward in their careers.

I specialize in career transitions (SWE/DA → PM, Web → AI PM, IC → Lead) and international candidates navigating U.S. recruiting. Expect structured roadmaps, weekly goals, and data-driven feedback on resumes/LinkedIn, portfolios, and mock interviews—plus negotiation prep that consistently unlocks stronger offers. If you want pragmatic, operator-level coaching grounded in real product work.

I help people find jobs without submitting a resume.
