About

Do you feel overlooked? Do you believe you could perform at a higher level if you were given the opportunity? And yet, you are surrounded by incompetent managers who have been promoted above their capabilities?

Nothing frustrates me more than this situation. To think they're not seeing your potential, that they aren't polishing the diamond in the rough they have in their hands...

I genuinely worry and HATE that YOU, yes, you, are probably not getting the opportunities the grow that you so rightfully deserve.

Does that resonate? Is that how you feel?

GOOD. Because THIS is why I’m here!

Hi! My name is Gus, and in the last 4 years, I have coached more than 250 professionals on everything from career strategy and securing a promotion to job hunting, interviewing, LinkedIn, personal branding, or starting freelancing.

I specialise in helping people get ahead in their careers, whether this means clinching a promotion or switching to a new field.

=========================================
Full disclosure, I am not your typical career coach. I don’t have a background in HR.
Nor is coaching my main source of income, which means I'll only take you on if I believe I can really help.
=========================================

What qualifies me to coach you through something as important to your life as your career?

In the first 5 years of my career,
==> I more than 3X my salary and
==> received FOUR promotions,
==> eventually making it to VP for a fast-growing VC-funded start-up.

And my clients all have their own stories (all 250+ of them)

=========================================
=========================================
3X salary and 4X promotions. In just 5 years.
=========================================
=========================================

I didn’t get there because I was smart or knew the right people.

Quite the contrary,

I don’t have any story of how my network gave me a leg up. It was all pure method and strategy. You can apply my method, successfully refined with hundreds of people, to your own career and ambitions.

=========================================
PAST CLIENT SUCCESSES
=========================================

- A software developer doubled his salary overnight
- Over 200 people landed new jobs
- Over 70 people switched careers WITHOUT taking a paycut
- A dozen people successfully transitioned from employed to freelancer
- And several more achieved so much clarity around their careers they put themselves in a very strong position to grow further in the short and the long-term

Are those the kind of results you’d like for your own career?

Because you can feel it, right? Deep down, you know you can be more. So much more.

And I genuinely want for you to become all that you can be. But the harsh truth is that I can’t do it for you, nor can your boss, nor can anyone else.

Only you can take control of your career.

But I can propel you forward and give you the shortcut to success. If you put in the work.

=========================================
What's the first step for building a mind-blowing career?

Booking an introduction call with me. That's all it takes.

Go for it.

You can be more. I believe it, and I really hope you do too!
=========================================

Let me help you make this a reality today. I'll look forward to meeting you.

I worked with Gus over the past year to transition from my Product Manager role at an early stage startup to a much larger, and more sophisticated organisation. At the time, I felt like I didn't understand enough about Product, the market, and even the process of job hunting to succeed in finding a job I'd love (particularly given the job market seemed to be going through a correction). Gus was invaluable in helping me systematically tackle each of these perceived 'unknowns', and gain a greater understanding of how to present myself and my experiences to have the best chance of securing a role. Together we looked at: 1. What experience I did have and how to confidently/clearly communicate it 2. What experience/skills I was missing, and how to fill those gaps or justify them in an interview 3. What kind of companies I'd be best suited to, and how to target them 4. How best to 'pitch' myself as a 'product' to this 'market' 5. How to play to my strengths in the interview process and stand out from the crowd It goes without saying that Gus is incredibly experienced with all of the usual job hunt/career transition stuff (rewriting CVs, practicing interview questions, etc.), but Gus' value is much more than that. He was incredibly flexible and understanding throughout the process, allowing us to pause when other priorities halted progress, or jump on last minute calls if something urgent came up. Job hunting can be stressful, and he was very good at offering that less practical but equally valuable emotional support and encouragement. After working together for ~6 months, I ended up landing an exceptional role at a new company (probably a better job than I thought achievable at the time), and given how great my experience was working with him, we kept up the mentoring relationship for the first few months in the new role.

When I first contacted Gus, it was because I realised my visibility within a remote, tech SaaS company was far too low. Working with him for -- almost a year now -- has been invaluable. It helped to have a sounding board to talk about the rollercoaster ride of being a PM, deciding between some difficult roles/projects that were offered to me, and have someone who was able to offer a second perspective when I was stuck in a single narrative. I achieved my career goals with Gus -- I increased my visibility, started working closer with the C-Suite, received more strategic projects, and was also offered people management responsibilities. All of which helped me decide what I wanted to do next!

I initially sought mentoring because my manager mentioned that my work was not as visible within the organisation, and I needed to raise my profile -- and that's what drew me to Gus. He has been very helpful in our on-going mentor programme - and I'm generally surprised at how much there is to talk about in each of our calls. He was especially helpful when I needed to figure out a decision to make (whether to take up a complex project within the org that had failed to launch multiple times before - that could fail to launch even if I led it), balancing risks against rewards, and strategising how to approach career advancement within the org, and more. During this mentorship with him I've since: started having regular 1:1s with org leaders that helped raise my profile, my scope of responsibilities have increased, and I've been entrusted with people management. Gus has been a great help and mentor!

Gus is exceptionally attentive and personable, with a talent for listening intently. He consistently asks insightful questions and genuinely considers my perspectives without preconceived notions. He's a great communicator who always makes things clear and easy to understand. His approachable and helpful nature makes every interaction a pleasure. 10/10 can recommend.
