I believe intentionality transforms lives. As Your Career Strategist, I combine the self-discovery nature of performance coaching with the targeted guidance of an industry veteran, to get you where you want to go, faster.
I built my career in investment banking and sales & trading, rising to Managing Director in under 12 years. It wasn’t some rare talent in finance that got me there – it was my deep understanding of people. How we think. What drives us. How to read the room, navigate power dynamics, and build trust to influence outcomes in high-pressure environments.
With the benefit of hindsight (and plenty of honest reflection), I can pinpoint the behaviors, mindsets, and strategies that helped (and hurt) me along the way.
Today, I bring my clients a blend of my lived experience and a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology – delivered through coaching, backed by formal ICF-certified training. My approach is pragmatic, structured, and fully customizable, combining tactical skill-building with meaningful self-discovery. I help ambitious professionals clarify what they want and create an actionable path to get there.
I’m not here to preach or prescribe. I’m here to guide you through your own thought process – through powerful questions, fresh perspectives, and the kind of strategic thinking most of us don’t carve out time to do alone.
