About

Hi, I’m Trae.

Are you looking to break into Big Tech, earn a promotion, transition into leadership, or navigate a major career decision with confidence?

For the past 15+ years, I’ve built and led global teams across Google, Meta, Bumble, startups, and the U.S. State Department. I’ve worked at the intersection of trust & safety, risk, compliance, operations, and leadership, helping organizations solve complex challenges and scale globally.

Today, I help ambitious professionals accelerate their careers and become more effective leaders.

Mentees typically come to me when they want to:

* Break into Big Tech or fast-growing startups
* Prepare for interviews and competitive hiring processes
* Earn promotions and increase their impact
* Transition from individual contributor to manager
* Develop leadership, communication, and strategic thinking skills
* Navigate difficult workplace challenges and career crossroads
* Build a long-term career plan aligned with their goals

My mentoring style is direct, practical, and results-focused. You’ll receive honest feedback, actionable guidance, and clear next steps, not generic advice. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, create a plan, and execute against it.

I work best with professionals who are motivated, coachable, and committed to growth. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and take your career to the next level, I’d be excited to help you get there.

Book an intro call and let’s discuss your goals, challenges, and the fastest path forward.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I came to Trae because I had been struggling with self-confidence and procrastination, which were preventing me from taking the first steps towards building my coaching business. After just one introductory session, I walked away with a completely different perspective. Trae has an exceptional ability to identify the underlying patterns that keep you stuck and ask the right questions to make you confront them. Rather than offering surface-level advice, he challenged me to reflect on the deeper issues I had been avoiding for a long time. I left the call feeling both uncomfortable and highly motivated which, in hindsight, is exactly what I needed. It was clear from our very first conversation that this work has the potential to create meaningful change, and I'm confident enough in the process that I've decided to invest in his long-term coaching programme. I'm genuinely looking forward to continuing this journey and seeing where it takes me.
