About
I’m a Michigan Ross MBA with over 12 years of experience in sales, business development, and partnerships within the B2B tech and software sectors. I currently lead Business Development at Cloud Kitchens, a restaurant tech company backed by Travis Kalanick, but my journey spans VC-backed startups, strategy consulting, and direct sales roles at tech giants like Google and Yelp. As a professional career coach, I blend my real-world experience with a passion for guiding others through career transformations. I've developed a unique approach that dives deep into clarifying goals, defining a target, and mapping out a path to success. With a track record of placing clients at top-tier companies like Google, McKinsey, Salesforce and more, I'm eager to bring this expertise to your career journey!

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.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe career happiness is crucial for overall life satisfaction and seeing others succeed professionally is fulfilling. I've been fortunate to learn from amazing coaches at Google and the University of Michigan, shaping my approach to coaching today. Drawing from my experience in sales and business development in the tech industry, I'm committed to supporting people in their career journeys, regardless of their industry focus or expertise.
