About Michael

I've worked as a data scientist and director of data science teams at several leading tech companies, including Google, Uber, and LinkedIn. My experience spans many domains, including search, advertising, marketplaces, recommender systems, and AI. One of the most rewarding aspects of leadership has been the opportunity to mentor data scientists (and data science managers) and help them grow in their careers. Drawing on this experience, I offer coaching across several key areas: * Job search strategy and interview preparation * Career path development * Transition from individual contributor role to management * Stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration * Team organization * Technical guidance and problem brainstorming My approach focuses on practical advice based on real-world experience building and leading teams. A key part of this is helping clients articulate what they really want from their careers so they can go after it. I'm looking forward to helping you develop your data science career!

Why do I coach?

Experience has taught me many lessons about how to land good Data Science roles and succeed in them. I'd like to help both the field and its practitioners by passing on this knowledge through coaching.
