Let’s CONNECT and discuss what I can do for you!
“Brian was instrumental in helping me prepare for a multi-round executive interview process, and the result speaks for itself: I received a strong offer for a senior role, despite not fitting the traditional mold for that position. My background has real breadth, but on paper it doesn't read as traditional marketing depth, and Brian helped me close that gap.
What set his help apart was the specificity. For each round, he walked me through what to expect…then gave me sample questions and sample ways to approach them. He also helped me build out career overview talk tracks, more succinct for some conversations, more detailed for others, depending on who I'd be speaking with. More than once, he reminded me of projects and experiences I had that I hadn't recognized as a value add until he pointed it out.
He was just as valuable once an offer was on the table. His guidance on negotiating a sign on bonus, what to ask for and what not to ask for, came from real experience and a read on what's typically negotiable that was more accurate than anything I could have found on my own.
Beyond the substance, Brian was simply reliable. I'd schedule time with him, and he was always on time, no delays, fully present for each conversation. Brian has been a mentor to me since our time together at Abbott, and that combination of industry knowledge, candor, and genuine investment in someone else's success is rare. If you're preparing for a high stakes interview process, especially one where you need to make a non-traditional background work in your favor, I can't recommend him highly enough.”

What Clients Say About Brian's Career Coaching
“I had the pleasure of working with Brian at Abbott CRM and was consistently impressed by his ability to shape strategy, build alignment across cross-functional teams, and mentor his team through very challenging and complex programs.
I experienced Brian's coaching strengths firsthand after reaching out for guidance when my own manager found a new position. In looking through the lens of my product line and background, he asked thoughtful questions, provided actionable feedback, and ultimately helped me think far more strategically in my role and about future career opportunities.
Brian is a terrific "people person": his coaching style is thoughtful, supportive, and grounded in a genuine desire to help people succeed. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to have learned from and worked alongside him!”
