AI Careers Coaches, Events, and Resources

I coach in AI careers at the intersection of recruiting, product, and emerging technology, drawing on years of building hiring systems, advising founders, and experimenting hands‑on with tools like GPT, Web3 platforms, and automation. I’ve sat on both sides of the table—designing roles, sourcing and evaluating talent, and positioning candidates—so I understand what hiring teams actually look for and how quickly the AI landscape is shifting. My approach is practical and outcomes‑driven: we translate your background into credible AI‑relevant value, define a clear target market (roles, companies, and ecosystems), and build a repeatable system for outreach, interviewing, and portfolio building. Whether you’re pivoting into AI from another field or trying to level up within the space, I focus on strategy, messaging, and execution so you’re not just “AI‑curious,” but genuinely competitive in a crowded market.

As the first strategic finance hire at xAI and Perplexity.ai, I have experience working at two of the leading AI companies with deep relationships across the ecosystem. AI is a new and evolving industry, and securing a role requires the right combination of intelligence, networking, and grit. As an interviewer across the entire business (sales, data science, engineering, partnerships, accounting, finance) and an active hiring manager I know what it takes to get in the door, crush interviews, and succeed post-hire.

I am here to help you navigate your career in AI at leading companies. I hold an MBA and a Masters in Engineering Sciences from Harvard Business School, and a degree in Computer Science, Business Management, and Mathematics from MIT. My professional journey includes mentoring AI and product strategy at Andreessen Horowitz, advising luxury brands at McKinsey & Company, and contributing to Microsoft's Responsible AI Strategy. I have also worked on deep-learning projects at Google Brain.

Welcome to my profile! With a strong foundation in AI research and practical experience, I am here to guide you on your journey into AI careers. As a Research Manager at the Columbia AI Alignment Club, I manage AI safety research projects and mentor undergraduate fellows, providing insights into the latest developments in AI governance and social impact. My role as a Claude Campus Ambassador for Anthropic further enhances my ability to connect AI innovations with real-world applications, as I engage with Columbia's vast student community. Additionally, my experience as a UX Researcher and Data Scientist at Brigham Young University–Hawaii has equipped me with the skills to translate complex data into actionable insights. Let's work together to navigate the exciting opportunities in the AI field and achieve your career goals! Feel free to reach out for a personalized coaching session.

I hire and train Founders, AEs, and SDRs on how to sell B2B AI and SaaS products

I’m an AI Product Manager at Asana who builds GenAI products for a living — not just talks about them. I work hands-on with AI agents, automation, and real production systems, designing workflows and deploying AI tools that drive measurable impact. I help people break into AI by focusing on the skills that actually get you hired: practical GenAI knowledge, strong problem framing, real use cases, and the ability to apply AI in a business or product setting. If you want to cut through the noise, build real AI credibility, and confidently step into AI-focused roles, I’d love to work with you.

With over 30 years of experience in the data industry—13 of those focused on data science—I’ve had an incredible journey through roles like Data Scientist, Senior Data Scientist, Head of Data Science, and now Chief Data Officer. Along the way, I’ve overseen major data initiatives, built high-performing teams, and developed a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in this field. For the past 15 years, I’ve been passionate about coaching in data science and artificial intelligence. I’ve helped professionals land their first internships, secure their dream jobs, and grow into leadership roles. I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes, interviewed hundreds of candidates, and learned exactly what stands out in a competitive market.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience at EY, where I served as a Global HR Business Partner and Senior Manager, I have honed my skills in strategic learning and development, particularly in the realm of AI-enhanced learning journeys. My work has involved pioneering initiatives that integrate AI tools like Microsoft Copilot to streamline workflows and enhance productivity, preparing professionals for the digital transformation era. As a certified executive coach, I specialize in empowering high-achievers, particularly those who are neurodivergent, to unlock their potential and thrive in AI-driven careers. If you're looking to navigate the complexities of AI careers and maximize your performance, let's connect and create a tailored strategy for your success!

I have led AI and product teams at OpenAI, Spotify, and Coinbase, working across NLP, recommender, and generative systems using tools such as OpenAI API, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Hugging Face, LangChain, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, Vertex AI, Azure AI, AWS SageMaker, and custom LLM pipelines. I coach professionals to position themselves as AI-ready talent by designing projects with tools like AutoGPT, Replit, GitHub Copilot, Streamlit, and vector databases such as Pinecone and FAISS. Clients I’ve worked with have launched prototypes, automated workflows, and advanced into roles in applied AI, product, and leadership. A few examples of client projects and results from my coaching include: 1. Helped a senior data analyst transition into an applied AI role using LangChain and GPT-based tools; landed a promotion within six months. 2. Guided a PM into an AI product leadership role at a Series B startup. 3. Coached an engineer through building a generative AI project that led to interviews at Meta.
