About

Most people try to fix their careers by working harder. The people who actually win design better systems.

I’m a Senior Operations & Program Manager with experience at Amazon and Uber, where I led high-impact initiatives across Ops, Product, Eng, DS—owning metrics with €1B+ business impact and consistently delivering above-market performance.

Over the last 7+ years, I’ve applied the same principles used to run high-performing organizations to my own career and life. The result:
- Roles at top-tier companies with above-market compensation (Checked w/ Glassdoor)
- Faster career progression by being deliberate about skill-building, visibility, and leverage

A repeatable framework I now help others apply to their own careers.

I’m a great fit if you:
🚀 Want to land a role at a better company (Big Tech, strong scaleups, or high-bar orgs)
🔄 Are pivoting careers (Ops ↔ Product ↔ Program ↔ Tech-adjacent roles)
💬 Want to negotiate salary, scope, or level with confidence
⏱️ Feel busy but not progressing—and want a structured system for growth
💰 Care about long-term optionality, not just the next paycheck

How I Help (What We’ll Work On)

1️⃣ Career Strategy & Job Landing

- Clarify your target roles & companies
- Identify skill gaps that actually matter (not generic advice)
- Craft a compelling narrative for CV, LinkedIn, and interviews
- Position you as a problem-solver, not a job title
- Prepare for interviews with real-world business thinking (not memorized answers)

I’ve hired, partnered with, and influenced decisions across Amazon & Uber—so I’ll help you think like the people on the other side of the table.

2️⃣ Salary & Role Negotiation

- Benchmark compensation intelligently (beyond Glassdoor)
- Understand leveling, scope, and internal signals
- Negotiate salary, equity, and role definition without burning trust
- Avoid common traps that cap your long-term growth

3️⃣ Personal Productivity Framework (Your Career Operating System)

- Learn new skills faster and with intent
- Manage energy, not just time
- Balance career ambition with life outside work
- Avoid burnout while still compounding results

This isn’t hustle culture—it’s executional excellence applied to yourself.

4️⃣ Personal Finance & Optional FIRE Track

- Building a clear personal finance strategy
- Structuring investments with a long-term mindset
- Aligning career decisions with financial independence goals

Your job is your biggest financial lever—so we design both together.

What Mentorship With Me Feels Like
- Structured, honest, and practical
- No motivational fluff—everything ties back to outcomes
- You’ll leave sessions with clear next actions
- I’ll challenge assumptions and help you think in systems
