Connecting job-seekers with their next job

After a notable career as a magazine editor (GQ relaunch, Philadelphia Magazine Editor in Chief) and then-VP of Talent Acquisition at Hearst (18 years hiring the company's editorial leaders), I am now offering exclusive career coaching services. 

I know what you need to get the job you want, because I come from the hiring side. I've interviewed and evaluated more than 5,000 candidates. I provide unvarnished, actionable advice on what works and doesn't, not only in the job-hunting process, but also along your advancement path. 

Most importantly, I'll help you identify what you really want in a career and what you need to do to get it. My clients have recently landed jobs at Netflix, Spotify, McKinsey, Amazon, Meta, Nike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Kate Spade, Citibank, NBCUniversal, Dotdash Meredith, Publicis and PlayStation.

Experience. Insights. Contacts.
