About Angela

I am a seasoned marketing executive in the AI industry with a diverse background spanning venture capital, consulting, and technology. As a Harvard MBA/MPP alumna as well as an ex-Bain consultant and ex-VC/PE associate, I offer comprehensive career support across various stages. I have successfully placed clients in MBB consulting firms, growth-stage technology unicorns, and Top 7 business schools. While I normally work with clients on a targeted basis (HBS/GSB apps, MBB case consulting, growth-stage tech recruiting in GTM roles, and VC recruiting), I have found my experience across industries to be most helpful to candidates navigating multiple paths at once who are trying to figure out how to best craft their career for the next 5-10 years. With thousands of hours of personal experience in graduate school and interview preparation, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge strategically and concisely. My goal is to help candidates present their best selves to admissions committees and interviewers, leveraging my extensive experience on hiring committees across consulting and tech. My coaching approach combines insider knowledge, practical experience, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed in their career aspirations.

Why do I coach?

I started career coaching as an associate at Bain -- so many people had helped me get to where I was, and I wanted to pay it forward. I found a passion for it. As my career evolved, and I landed spots in coveted graduate school programs and prestigious PE/VC firms, so too did my coaching knowledge. After conducting hundreds of hours of networking calls across industries and graduate program attendees, I realized I was sitting on a wealth of career knowledge that I wanted to share with others. I get the most joy out of helping candidates decide what they want to do (and don't want to do!) and helping craft a clear narrative around your career. Story telling is a passion (it's why, after all these degrees and professional roles, I've ended up as a marketing executive!) and an art, and having a coach can go a long way in doing this successfully. My diverse experience has allowed me to work with the same clients on MBA apps and PE on-site interview prep, and scale up growth take home assignments to VC networking strategy.
