Hands-on support
After 2 decades in Tech, leading software engineering teams at both Google, Microsoft, studying coaching at Stanford, and co-founding an AI startup, I would love to give back to the community.
Transforming someone's career and helping others unlock their true potentials, has been one of the most rewarding activities in my career.
Have you found growth opportunities hard to come by lately? You are not alone! Let’s work together to fix that for you. Schedule your free session, and I am happy to help.
How can I help you?
1) Are you a leader who is transitioning to be a TL, manager or manager of manager ? I am happy to help you make the successful transition and share my experience growing ICs and leaders to such roles, and how to form high performing teams.
2) Are curious about how to join and accelerate your growth at companies like Microsoft and Google? I am happy to share how I joined Microsoft and Google as software Engineer, grew quickly in both companies starting from Entry level IC at Microsoft to a Senior Engineering manager at Google managing managers, ICs (TLs , Senior and junior engineers).
3) Do you find your self facing difficult situations, need help managing or leading through change, or pivot your teams to a new technology like Gen AI? I am happy to share with you my own experience in both building and using AI based products, building teams & products from scratch, pivoting existing teams, planning OKRS and create a clear vision.
This isn’t “career advice.” It’s the exact framework I used to:
- Lead teams at Google/Microsoft while staying hands-on
- Pivot expertise as tech shifted under my feet
- Negotiate roles where strategy and execution collide
- Get on a fast promotion trajectory at both Microsoft and Google, while successfully switching from IC to TL to Engineering manager roles.

Mona is a great mentor. She has had hands-on experience and relevant backgrounds that gave me insightful advices/feedback that I couldn't have myself. I have grown so much since my mentorship with Mona. I strongly recommend Mona to anyone looking to leverage their tech career or looking a transition to GenAI.

Thanks, Mona! Having a mentor like Mona was very helpful in reframing my thought process where I could see the opportunity (areas of growth). I was a great experience in getting that mentorship to have a perspective of an engineer manager. I would highly recommend Mona.
