Interview coaching

While at Google, I conducted ~200 interviews, primarily for senior-level, staff, and senior staff-level roles (L5-L7). At Pandora, I conducted ~100 interviews for senior-level candidates up to the Director level. I am best leveraged for behavioral, strategy, technical, and system design mock interviews, but should not be booked...

Handle work challenges

Hi Geoff, thank you so much for the impactful coaching session. I really valued the way you challenged me to step back and look at the bigger picture of how I present myself as a leader. Your thoughtful feedback and the clarity you brought to storytelling and strategic positioning really resonated with me. It helped me see where I could show up with more intention, confidence, and authenticity in senior-level interviews. The session gave me a lot to reflect on, and I left feeling more grounded and prepared. Truly grateful for your time and insight – it made a real difference.

Geoff was great to work with. He was able to identify some of my blindspots. I will possibly book more sessions with him.
