Your career doesn't fit neatly into a box.
That's not a problem - it's an advantage.

I coach mid-career professionals who are navigating what's next - whether that's finding a direction, making a transition, or rebuilding after a shift.

I've spent most of my career as a generalist, wrestling with the same questions you probably are now - about direction, purpose, and how to go deeper. I still am. But I've switched continents, moved from consulting to an AI-related research role in big tech, and navigated my share of uncomfortable transitions in between. I've learned enough along the way to help.

Who I work with

You feel stuck and need help charting a career path.

You're searching for a meaningful direction that combines what you're passionate about with what you're good at.

"I've had a successful but winding career and I have no idea how to position my experience into a coherent narrative."

"I'm a generalist with broad but shallow expertise - and in a world that seems to only value specialists, I'm not sure where that leaves me."

"I've spent my career doing two-year stints across industries and functions and I don't know what it all adds up to."

You have direction but need a path.

You know what excites you - but you don't know how to make the transition.

"I know what I'm excited about, but I can't figure out the right entry point."

"I've spent my career switching contexts and I'm ready to go deep somewhere - I just need to land the transition and find my footing in a new role."

"The world is going all-in on AI and I want to be a part of it, but I'm not technical - how do I stay relevant and find my role in it?"

You're starting a new chapter.

Something has shifted - a life change, burnout, a layoff - and you need to rebuild both your confidence and your direction.

"My life has changed and I can no longer work endless hours - how do I continue to deliver and grow?"

"I've had a setback and I need to rebuild my confidence and my sense of direction at the same time."

"I've been out of the workforce for a while and I don't know how to re-enter."

When it makes sense to work together

Exploring.

You know something needs to change but you can't name what. We'll figure out what you want and where your strengths point.

Applying.

You've picked a direction but your story doesn't reflect it yet. We'll build a narrative that lands.

Interviewing.

You need to position your experiences in the strongest possible light for a specific role and company. We'll craft a bespoke pitch together.

About

Hi, I'm Tanya.

I've built my career across Accenture, McKinsey, and Google. I hold an MBA from Wharton. Today I conduct research with leading economists on how AI is reshaping the global economy and labor markets, a topic I deeply care about. I live in the Bay Area with my husband Andrey and our almost one-year-old son Ian.

Structured thinking. I'll help you break a big, overwhelming career question into smaller pieces that are much easier to solve.
Creative options. I'll suggest less conventional career paths and transitions you might not have considered.
Pattern recognition. I can anticipate some of the pitfalls and share a few shortcuts.
Honest, judgment-free conversation. I know what it feels like to sit where you're sitting.
