About Me
Do any of the below apply to you?
- Work's an A+; home/personal life's barely passing
- You work hard but don't get promoted
- You got promoted, but the new role feels overwhelming
- You want to change jobs but are worried about taking a pay cut
- You're an expat and don't know the language/culture or don't feel "at home"
If so, then let's talk.
As a coach with a background in finance and law, I specialize in helping ambitious professionals who need to get clear about next steps so they can have a role that they love without burning out or contravening their values. I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I draw on this experience to provide coaching that is tailored to each client's needs.
My coaching style adheres to the principles of the ICF, which emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their goals and aspirations.
My clients appreciate my open, and accepting approach. I provide a confidential space where clients can explore their challenges and opportunities without fear of judgment. I am direct and supportive in my coaching, striking a balance between challenging and encouraging clients to achieve their potential.
I received my BA from UPenn and my law degree from Harvard, and I have worked at a bulge bracket bank and white shoe law firms, so I understand the pressures my clients face, as well as the opportunities they are afforded. I bring this knowledge and expertise to my coaching sessions, helping clients navigate complex organizational structures and build the skills they need to advance their careers in ways that feel good to them.
In addition to my finance and law background, I have a global perspective gained from living, working, and studying in the US, UK, Singapore and Japan. This experience has given me a unique understanding of different cultures and how they can play vital roles in individuals' professional and personal lives.

I had the privilege of working with Brandon as my coach, and it has been a truly transformative experience. Brandon's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding executive coach. Working with him as my coach has been a game-changer for my professional development. One aspect of his coaching that sets Brandon apart is his exceptional ability to identify and bring out strengths and areas for improvement without judgment, just open curiosity. And secondly, something that truly impressed me about Brandon, was his holistic approach to coaching. He didn't focus solely on professional growth but also recognized the importance of work-life balance and personal well-being, which ultimately fueled my professional goals. He encouraged me to explore my values, passions, and purpose, which resulted in a more fulfilled and authentic approach to my business.His expertise, genuine care, and transformative coaching approach have helped me unlock potential I did not see before. If you seek a coach who will challenge and support you to achieve extraordinary results, I highly recommend Brandon. He is an exceptional professional who will undoubtedly significantly impact your career and life.

Brandon helped me think through my next professional move after retiring from from a senior executive position in health care. With his coaching I was able to fully articulate how I want to position myself for select consulting assignments. He was superb guiding the higher level discussion and then helping me work out the particulars of a new CV and website, essentially re-branding me. Brandon is very good at this work and I will always grateful for his help.

Brandon is an incredible coach. His calm demeanor, wisdom, and respect for his clients comes through in every conversation. He has helped me clarify my objectives by working with me to articulate my priorities, test my assumptions, and develop concrete plans once I've set goals. Brandon never imposes his own preferences, but he will offer observations and suggestions that advance my own thinking. Brandon is warm and has a good sense of humor, which eases some of the tough thinking that he helped me undertake. He checked in with me between sessions, demonstrating a real sense of caring on his part, and on a few occasions when I needed to contact him at the spur of the moment, he was always available and willing to get on a call. The coaching sessions I've had with Brandon have helped me invaluably. Weeks later, I find myself going over notes of things that we've discussed because they're so relevant and helpful. I have already recommended Brandon to two friends of mine, and I know that they're both grateful to have worked with him. So all I can do is encourage anyone facing career-related decisions to connect with Brandon; his coaching ability, experience, and personality make him an outstanding asset.
