I’ve read hundreds of resumes and run hundreds of interviews as a hiring manager. Now I help people whose experience is stronger than their resume makes it look.

Most of our time together looks something like this. You write a line, I mark it up the way a hiring manager would read it, and you rewrite it until it says what you actually did.
First draft

After the edit
Rebuilt the dispatch schedule for four markets and cut late deliveries from 12% to 4% in six months.

Your experience is real, but it’s written in the language of the job you’re leaving. A recruiter in your new field has to translate it, and most won’t.
Recruiters in a new market may not know your past employers or what your titles meant there, so your resume has to do more of the explaining.
Everyone around you has always known what you do, so you’ve never had to sell your own work. A stranger reading your resume doesn’t have that context.
We start with your resume and the roles you’re going after. I’ll read it the way a hiring manager would and tell you plainly what I’d think if I were the one hiring.
You’re the one who has to defend every line in an interview, so the words should be yours. I push on each one until it’s specific and true, and every session ends with a short list of what’s due before the next one.
Once the resume is working, we run mock interviews. After each answer I’ll tell you how it sounded to me as the interviewer, and what I’d still want to know.
We keep track of whether the changes are getting you more interviews. If they aren’t, we change the approach.

Most resumes get a few seconds before someone decides whether to keep reading. I’ll read yours the way a hiring manager does, show you what gets skipped, and help you fix it.

Book a free intro callWhen I came back from three years working in Africa, I had a CV that impressed the wrong people.
The experience was strong, but the recruiters I wanted to reach couldn’t see it. It took me a while to realize the problem was how I’d described it.
Later, when I was the one hiring, I saw the same thing from the other side. Strong candidates lost out because of how they wrote about their work, and most of them never found out that was the reason.
I coach because that problem is fixable. My favorite part is the moment someone reads their rewritten bullet and realizes they’ve been underselling themselves for years.
I started my career in consulting at Accenture, and after two years I moved to Africa to work in international development. I began at TechnoServe on a national tractor-hire program for farmers, then joined One Acre Fund to lead its expansion into Zambia. In two years we grew from about 400 farmers to more than 10,000.
After three years in Africa, I went to Columbia Business School for a full-time MBA on the Meyer Feldberg Distinguished Fellowship, a full-tuition award, and graduated in 2020. The MBA was how I moved from development work into operations at US companies. To make that switch, I had to rewrite my own resume until hiring managers in a new field took it seriously.
Since then, hiring has been a regular part of my job. At HelloFresh I led a team of three launch managers and built a last-mile delivery network that grew past 30 hubs. After that I spent two years at Amazon improving customer service operations across more than 40 countries. At Blacklane, a premium chauffeur marketplace that Uber acquired in 2026, I was Regional Lead for the US West and Canada and managed a team of six. Today I work in operations at a global health organization, where I sit on hiring panels, including for director-level roles.
Along the way I’ve coached graduating students through Wall Street Tequila. Most were international students applying for US consulting, tech, and operations roles. I’ve also coached Amazon employees through promotions and internal transfers. Mandarin and English are both native languages for me, so I can help when your experience was built in one country and needs to make sense to a recruiter in another.
I’ve spent years as the person your resume has to convince. Now you can hear what that person thinks before you apply.
