Having developed a multi-industry, multi-continent career, I have personal experience in myself and coaching others in navigating unique career paths.

I am a 20+ year sales & marketing executive that has worked at Fortune 500 companies (P&G, Google, and Meta), and have been a Chief Revenue Officer at an AI analytics startup. I have interviewed and managed people at all ends of the spectrum from new hires to VP / excecs, in the US and APAC. I have a passion for developing others and helping the next generation of leaders to succeed. My purpose in life is to help people connect the dots to breathe life into their imagined futures. I believe my frameworks can also help people figure out what they want out of their careers and personal success / happiness.

As an accomplished career development coach, I draw upon over 17 years of real industry experience, during which I've interviewed hundreds of candidates in the dynamic fields of data engineering and distributed systems. Through my extensive professional career, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of these industries, allowing me to provide nuanced and strategic guidance tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities within these domains. My coaching approach is not only informed by theoretical knowledge but also grounded in practical insights derived from hands-on experience in talent acquisition and career development. I leverage my profound understanding of the job market, coupled with a keen awareness of industry trends, to empower individuals in crafting compelling resumes, impactful cover letters, and optimized LinkedIn profiles. Let me share my wealth of experience with you, guiding you toward not just landing your dream job but also fostering sustainable growth and success in your career journey. Together, we can navigate the complexities of the professional landscape and unlock the doors to your future success.

I've helped dozens of clients level up their career faster and find work more aligned with their strengths and interests. My approach starts by helping clients better understand themselves and the ecosystems in which they operate. We build on that understanding to craft an inspiring vision for the future. Based on that vision, we develop a set of hypotheses about what to do next. We then test each hypothesis with a small-scale, low-cost experiments, such as a new project, a new behavior, or a new side hustle. Finally, we feed the data from those experiments back into your understanding of yourself and your ecosystems. It's a virtuous feedback cycle, and the results speak for themselves.

Are you wrestling with what should come next for you in your career? Not sure how to position yourself for new challenges? Let's work on that together! I'm a Certified as both a Career coach and a Leadership coach, and we can use both to assess your skills, talents, and aspirations to be certain that you're headed in a direction that will bring you career satisfaction AND play to your strengths. I also have 15 years' experience as a Hiring Manager, which will be valuable as you navigate the process around securing that next position.

As a career coach at my alma mater, the Michigan Ross School of Business, I've guided over 100 students through their career journey. Specializing in helping students find and pursue their desired post-graduation paths, I encourage looking beyond traditional MBA functions like Banking or Consulting. Over the years, I've honed a proven process to help clients clarify their goals, define a target, and chart a path to their dream job. With successful placements at Google, Oracle, Yelp, and Salesforce (and more!), I'm excited to apply this expertise to your journey and look forward to working with you! Beyond general career strategy sessions, other services include: Resume and essay reviews, mock interviews, and strengths-based evaluations like Myers-Briggs.

I have a lot of empathy for those charting out at the beginning of their career journeys. A fulfilling career isn't one size fits all and many people (including my earlier self) don't spend enough time doing the work to understand what energizes them. Crafting a fulfilling career (and ultimately life) takes intentional work with daily practice and I get a lot of personal satisfaction from helping clients put in place systems that help them make 1% improvements in this category every day.

With more than two years of experience in five different internship roles across tech and consulting, I understand what success and fulfillment looks like in a variety of early career roles. I love helping people--especially ambitious early career professionals--use writing, reflection, and conversation to better understand what kind of work makes them feel excited about life. Past roles in product management, editing, data analytics, technical consulting, marketing, and entrepreneurship enable me to take a multidisciplinary approach to career conversations.

I have successfully transitioned from academia to industry. I am employed as a successful researcher with a PhD in psychology. Since I have left academia, I have received numerous requests from PhD students and postdocs in psychology who are hoping to leave academia and land an industry research job. I have been able to dedicate my time to help many look into potential career paths, figure out their preferred kind of job, tailor their resumes accordingly, and land interviews. I would love to more systematically help and share my experiences through this platform.
