About Angela
I am a social entrepreneur based out of Brooklyn, NY, working at the intersection of climate and workforce development. Prior to my entrepreneurial journey, I completed my MBA at Harvard, led a Seed stage AI-data company through Series A and beyond, and started my career as a Business Analyst at McKinsey. All of this, you can find on LinkedIn. What you can’t find though are these details: 1. I am a first generation immigrant so I had no network or support that got me into consulting and everything else that followed. 2. I recruited for management consulting from a non target school. I really had to hustle and find a unique way in. 3. I applied to business school twice. Rejected the first time and a mix of acceptance / waitlist the second time. Nothing about my journey is linear and that’s okay! If any of these resonate with you and you want to talk things through & strategize, I’m here for you.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I wouldn’t be where I am without the mentors in my life who taught me the unobvious things, strategized with me, and pushed me when I needed to be pushed. I hope to do the same for you.
