About JooHo
Hi, I’m JooHo, and I’m here to help you navigate the competitive world of graduate school admissions. Having worked as a software engineer at Meta, investor at Maverick Ventures, and now as a Product Manager at Databricks after completing my MBA at Stanford, I’ve experienced first-hand the power of storytelling and personal branding in opening doors to new opportunities. My journey includes leading tech teams, tackling complex challenges like combating COVID vaccine misinformation, and advising startups on go-to-market strategies. What sets me apart as a coach is my ability to combine deep technical expertise with strategic thinking, helping applicants craft narratives that highlight both their unique experiences and future potential. I’ve been in your shoes—balancing career transitions, navigating elite admissions processes, and finding mentors to guide me through it all. Outside of work, I’m passionate about strategy games and puzzles, which reflects my love for solving problems, whether in life or in business. If you’re looking for someone who understands both the technical and human sides of the admissions process, let’s collaborate to bring out the best in your story!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know the transformative power of having someone in your corner. During my career, I’ve benefited from mentors who helped me make pivotal decisions, throughout my journey from engineering to MBA to product management. The support I received during these career shifts was invaluable, and now, I want to pass that guidance on. Coaching allows me to help others realize their potential by drawing from my personal and professional experiences. Whether you're applying to grad school or making a career transition, I'm here to help you navigate the journey with confidence.
