Career coaching
I’ve helped thousands of clients in my 15+ years as a career coach. Throughout my experience as a career coach at Harvard Business School, UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Kellogg School of Management and in my private practice, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching individuals through all parts of their career journey. I've coached college students seeking help on technical interviews all the way through to senior executives, needing SOMETHING HERE.
My coaching experience has crossed almost all industries, functions, and geographies. Major industries include consumer products, consulting, entertainment & media, financial services, healthcare, and retail, tech, and travel & hospitality. Functions include consulting, finance, IT, marketing, operations, and strategy. I’ve also coached doctors and lawyers. I've worked with clients on every continent except Antarctica (working on it!). I have lived and worked in Europe and Asia and set up and managed joint ventures in Latin America and the Middle East, so I have experienced firsthand many of the challenges of working in different cultures.
My goal is to successfully see my clients through whatever obstacle they find themselves in during their career path. Length of engagement for my services can vary greatly depending on your needs. I've had success with clients across the entire spectrum of needs- from clients seeking initial guidance on the outset of a career pivot to seeing other clients through 6 months of a job search.
