I have 18+ years in senior roles across Finance, Travel, and Big Tech—successfully pivoting industries and roles, from Portfolio Manager to Director, to Data Science Leader—blending expertise in Machine Learning and leadership.

Having secured senior roles myself and scaled teams up to M2/IC7, I understand what it takes to land top roles. I now coach professionals to pivot, succeed, and thrive in senior quant roles—through realistic mock interviews, interview prep, career strategy, and more.
