I bring a very unique perspective to my Career Coaching & Advisory work. I currently work at NYU Stern Business School in the Career Center for Working Professionals. I create and deliver workshops and give individual counseling to part time MBA’s, Executive MBA’s and Stern Alumni to help them reach their individual career goals.

Prior to my work at NYU Stern I ran an Executive Search firm in the Financial Services industry for 10 years following over a decade of working in Equity Sales on Wall Street. With a successful career in Finance and running an Executive Search business, I am able to bring a thorough understanding of a wide spectrum of hiring needs which allows me to coach effectively in many areas. I coach across many industries and a variety of career paths such as Management Consulting, Luxury & Retail, Entrepreneurial/Start-Ups, Finance and Digital Media among others.

Whether you are looking to change your career completely (Industry and Function), advance in your current career, or relaunch your career after taking time away, my expertise in all areas of coaching will help you achieve your overall professional goals. I also work with my Alumni Business School, Indiana University Kelley School of Business, where I received my MBA in 1994.

Case 1: I worked with a relauncher who came from a 10 year plus successful career in the Financial Services industry and prior to that, 5 years in Management Consulting. She took close to 7 years off to stay home and raise her children. She is very excited about the idea of going back to work but has no interest in going back to Wall Street or Consulting. Through several meetings of assessment, self introspection, and really thinking about how she spent the last 7 years, we were able to really pull some great experience from her volunteer work at her children’s school and also at local establishments.

This also allowed her to think about her next steps and what she was passionate about. She decided Education was the field she was most excited about. Her volunteer work looked perfect for this and she continues to volunteer in the Education space while she interviews for permanent positions. She found a path that was her passion. She was additionally able to fill the gap on her resume, LinkedIn profile and also in conversation/interviews. Her confidence is amazing and she is prepared mentally and on paper to land her next position.

Case 2: I worked with a client who was out of work for 3 years after getting laid off during the financial crisis. He worked at a large fund as a Portfolio Research Analyst. He is in his early 40’s and was very concerned about his time away and his age. He had been interviewing the entire time but was never able to land a position. Some of the firms he interviewed with, the process took over 6 months and then did not end with an offer. He went through some very dark times where he really had to dig deep to maintain the passion and confidence he once had.

Through many counseling sessions, targeted resume revisions, mock interviews and soul searching, he was able to land a position back in Financial Services but at a place he would have never thought of without the due diligence he put in. He is now back in the game and incredibly happy in his new position as a Portfolio Manager with a whole new appreciation for his career.
