Career Coaching for People Navigating What’s Next
Grounded in Experience. Focused on Real Life.


Hello!
I'm Matthew!
With over 13 years of experience in career coaching, leadership development, and workforce strategy, I’ve supported professionals across big tech, startups, nonprofit organizations, finance, and media and entertainment.
I often work with people navigating:
-
Career pivots or reinvention later in life
-
Organizational change, layoffs, or restructuring
-
Burnout or misalignment
-
Repositioning long-term experience for today’s job market
This work is practical and human. Sessions are personalized and grounded in real-world context — not generic advice or one-size-fits-all frameworks.
Career Fit Is About More Than a Job Title
Career growth isn’t just about landing a role. It’s about alignment.
That means considering:
What energizes you and what drains you
The environment where you do your best work
Your work-life balance and sustainability
The multiple identities and lived experiences that shape who you are
Whether your goal is to find a career you love or create better balance, we center fit, values, and long-term sustainability in the process.
Who I Work With
Professionals navigating layoffs, company closures, or career pivots
Mid- to late-career professionals rethinking their next chapter
People with long or nonlinear career histories
Individuals feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure how to move forward
Clients looking for a thoughtful career partner — not quick fixes
