With experience as a Hiring Manager and Operations Leader at two Fortune 500 companies and as the Career Services Director at two major university business schools, I have a proven track record of helping professionals achieve their career goals.

Now I am offering my services directly to individuals like you.

Most people don’t lose opportunities because they lack credentials. They lose them because their story doesn’t land. I work with ambitious professionals and Ivy-bound applicants who need to reposition their story during moments of change (e.g., career pivots, industry shifts, layoffs, or competitive admissions cycles.) I continue to operate professionally while coaching, which keeps my advice grounded in current market realities. My background spans higher education leadership, global tech, and platform-based businesses, where I’ve led strategy and partnerships through periods of growth, reinvention, and ambiguity. I’ve personally navigated non-linear career moves, rebranding at senior levels, and the trade-offs that come with choosing momentum over optics. What I do differently than most coaches: I don’t optimize for logos or titles. I help you decide what you’re actually positioning for, make intentional trade-offs, and articulate a narrative that holds up across resumes, applications, interviews, and real conversations. This work draws from: Senior leadership experience in complex, competitive environments First-hand career pivots across sectors and functions Deep familiarity with Ivy-caliber standards and selection logic Clients work with me when they want: Clarity on what to pursue and what to stop chasing A credible story that explains change without apology Positioning that feels grounded, confident, and defensible If you’re looking for surface-level edits or reassurance, I’m likely not the right fit. If you want strategic clarity and honest feedback, I’m happy to help.

Deciding what you want to do is hard. It's something I've personally navigated over my career for the last decade. It's easier if you take a structured approach -- and that's what we'll do together! Over the course of our time, we'll explore what motivates you, where your strengths are, and build a framework to make career decisions together.

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.

Looking back at my career and the careers of those that I admire, one throughput has been clear - it's not just WHAT you know, but WHO you know that can move you and your career forward in life. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, there are many ways one can build the skill of networking today to set up their careers for tomorrow. By working with me as your coach, we can talk through your career goals, how networking can help advance them, and build a strategy and plan for which to execute.

I have never believed in a linear career. I began in consulting, where I learned to think in structured problems and measurable outcomes. I then moved closer to operators, building products inside startups and understanding what it takes to turn ideas into execution. Along the way, I explored public policy, studied psychology to better understand human decision making, run a startup, and spent time inside a VC evaluating founders from the other side of the table. Because I have tested different paths myself, I understand the uncertainty, ambition, and self doubt that often come with big career moves. I know what it feels like to question direction, to compare options, and to weigh risk against growth. That perspective allows me to coach with empathy and rigor. I help you clarify not just what you want to do next, but why. Together, we build a narrative and a strategy that reflects who you are, where you want to go, and how to get there with intention.
