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
