About Me
As a former investment banker from Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse, now a Career Coach, I bring 15+ years of Wall Street experience into play for my financial services clients. As a career coach for mid to senior-level professionals, I am known for helping my clients land jobs faster.
My proven career coach system yields results. When you work with me, you’ll learn to bypass the online abyss, skip the job board circus, and put your focus, energy and resources to play at top speed.
I’m committed to supporting clients gain stability, increase confidence, and land a job they love. I enable my clients to step up into a new title, to level up into a higher compensation tier, and to earn what they deserve while pursuing a long term, stable career.
When you work with me, your personal career coach, you access my wisdom, strategy, support, and guidance - directly. No middleman. I work 1:1 with all my clients.
I work with every type of job seeker, from Wall Street and Fortune 500 companies to startups.
My clients come from Google, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, JP Morgan, Verizon, PayPal, MasterCard, Fidelity, and a host of smaller firms.
Together, we build a strategic customized career plan. We focus on career direction resume, LinkedIn Profile, networking, interview preparation, and so much more. I leverage my personal network, 16,000 LinkedIn 1st connections, and 10+ million LinkedIn 2nd connections to get clients access to the hidden job market.
I have walked in your shoes. I rose through the ranks of Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse with a salary in the top 5%. When I was laid off due to a severe recession in 2007, I was devastated. I picked myself up, transformed my anxiety and anger into action, and landed a new position quickly. From that point on, I dedicated my life to make sure that no high performing professionals would be left as I was - without support, without a plan, and without an identity.
You are more than your resume. You are more than your experience - leverage both to level up.

Mike helped me land my dream job with Google!
After 23 years with the same company, I needed a change but didn’t know where to start. Mike helped me explore other careers by setting up coffee chats with friendly professionals. We then analyzed those conversations to understand what really appealed to me. From there, we recreated my resume and my LinkedIn profile to best promote my value and experience. His patient guidance helped build my confidence, throughout the rest of the process.
Terri Harris
He showed me how to customize my answers to typical and non-typical questions given the company personnel with whom I was speaking. He taught me that some interview questions have hidden questions. He taught me appropriate answers. He pumped me up and showed me how to dialogue with the interviewer.
Marshall Burroughs
I was a very successful sales trader for 20 years. However, the landscape of Wall Street had changed, and my next move was probably not going to be the same role since fewer and fewer exist. Mike and I worked on identifying all the different types of possible jobs and industries I would fit.
Hiten Rawal
I knew I wanted to network with professionals that had certain technical certifications. Speaking to these professionals at the right firms would help inform my job search. Mike arranged coffee chats. Mike saves you time, a commodity sometimes more valuable than money.
