About Me
I spent 15 years in investment banking with Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse and an additional 10 years in recruiting, renewables and Fintech.
For the past 6 years, I have focused on career coaching, providing clients with a feeling of stability, increased confidence, and improved family life from finding a job they love. I enable them to step up their title and compensation.
I received my BS from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and my MBA from Columbia University Business School.
When you work with me, your personal career coach, you access my wisdom, strategy, support, and guidance -- directly. No middleman; just Mittleman. I work 1:1 with all my clients.

Within 2 months of working with Mike, I moved from Wall Street to Salesforce. If you need to pivot, he is your guy.
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.

Mike helped me get to the greatest company in the world, Amazon (AWS)! Mike helps you figure out your career direction so you save time.
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.

Mike has been invaluable in my transition from Goldman Sachs to FinTech. I’m now the Head of Risk Management at DriveWealth, a pioneering C-round FinTech specializing in fractional equity investing.
Mike’s strategic customized plan is well thought out and highly effective. He understands job seekers’ frustration.
My resume never looked so clean and effective. My LinkedIn profile is fantastic. If you’re making a move, speak with Mike.

I just wanted to follow up with you. I got the job as a senior risk manager at Mizuho in NYC and am thrilled. Thank you for your coaching before the interview – I was getting frustrated after being close on a number of other opportunities and with the onset of COVID 19. Your advice and coaching was just the bump, change of perspective, slightly new technique, encouragement I needed at a difficult time (late Feb ’20).
