Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Coaching software engineers is a major part of my day-to-day job. I've worked with dozens of engineers across varying experience levels with different goals and personalities. I am especially proficient in and passionate about helping people to set challenging goals and follow through on them. I have studied goal setting frameworks, and I have changed how my entire department utilizes goal setting for better efficacy. I've helped high performers to continue to grow and achieve great things, and I've helped struggling engineers to turn their performance around and get on the fast track to multiple promotions. I've also coached people who have made little progress. The largest part of your success will still depend on you.

While getting my MBA and since completing it, many family and friends have asked me if they should pursue a graduate degree. Getting an MBA or any graduate degree is not for everyone and I will share my candid experience while learning more about what it is you are ultimately trying to achieve. I have also worked for a variety of Fortune 500 companies in various functions and roles, which have helped me to coach others that feel stuck in their career and are considering making a change. The grass is not always greener on the other side and I am passionate about helping people make those tough decisions!

I bring nearly two decades of senior leadership experience within global technology, including over ten years of coaching and developing professionals in corporate environments, alongside four years of formal professional coaching practice. I have coached individuals navigating promotion, redundancy, return-to-work, career pivots, and identity shifts. Having led teams, made high-stakes decisions, and navigated organisational change myself, I understand both the external pressures and internal questions that arise during transition. I specialise in working with mid-career professionals who appear successful on paper but feel uncertain about their next move. My coaching is structured, strategic, and grounded in real-world leadership experience, helping clients think clearly, make aligned decisions, and move forward with confidence. I am trained in professional coaching methodologies and am currently progressing toward ICF accreditation.

As a Finance Program Manager at Google, I’ve coached 1,200+ professionals and earned 200+ 5-star reviews across multiple platforms by helping people turn their experience into interviews and offers. I work with everyone from university students and career switchers to Google Directors, Amazon Senior Managers, and Big 4 professionals, using structured frameworks to clarify positioning, strengthen storytelling, and improve performance across resumes, interviewing, networking, and negotiation. Behind the numbers are real people and real outcomes. In March of 2025, I had worked with a mother who had just been laid off and wanted one thing: to get back on her feet. After working through her resume and guiding her through multiple interview and salary negotiation phases, she finally landed a new role she was happy with. A few months later, I had unknowingly worked with her husband to tailor his experience towards a senior director engineering position. Afterward, he said this: “Alex, I didn’t tell you this and you had no way of knowing, but you helped my wife earlier this year. Now, you’ve helped me. The impact you’ve had on our household has been overwhelming, so I wanted to say thank you.” Moments like this capture exactly why I love doing what I do. Over the past 4 years, I’ve had the opportunity to relive similar experiences with 1,200 clients and to this day, resume writing and career coaching is the most fulfilling work I’ve done and probably will ever do. Are you ready to revitalize your career strategy? Let's work together to make it happen!

I spent 8 years trying to figure out how to climb the corporate ladder and "manage up"; early on in my career, I was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I started establishing relationships with a few helpful mentors, studying for my MBA, and when I volunteered as a Career mentor for undergrad students did I learn from mistakes and start to better understand what was needed to build a successful career. So, utilizing my personal failures and successes, including landing a role as a Sr. Consultant at a Consulting firm, despite applying off-season, and my natural ability to coach, I now help recent undergrads in career development. I particularly enjoy and excel working with recent undergrad students understanding that post graduation is an anxious time, especially for those unsure of their career. Besides providing support and advice, I coach my clients in understanding themselves and determining their goals so that they approach each role confidently and with a strong narrative. Clients of mine have been able to learn sustainable relationship and career building skills, allowing them to make a positive impact in their role and advance in their career.
