Marketing career coaching, leadership development, interview prep, and AI upskilling for ambitious marketers.

I’m an ex-Apple and Microsoft marketer helping Australian marketers accelerate their careers in the AI era.

Level up your

career today

Many marketing professionals in Australia and globally feel burnt out, under-recognised, and uncertain about their career direction. If you’re looking to build confidence, communicate more effectively, and progress your career with clarity, I can help.

I’ve learned practical frameworks and approaches from leading technology companies including Microsoft and Apple, which I now apply to help professionals develop clear, actionable skills they can use immediately in their roles.

Topics we can cover in coaching:

  • Improving communication with stakeholders and senior leaders

  • Building confidence in high-pressure meetings and presentations

  • Becoming more strategic and influential in your role

  • Career progression and professional development planning

  • Structuring thinking and feedback using frameworks like SBI (Situation-Behavior-Impact)

Who This Is For

This career coaching is designed for ambitious marketers who want to grow faster and build long-term, high-value careers.

You may be:

  • A Marketing Coordinator trying to become a Marketing Manager

  • An agency marketer wanting to move in-house

  • A traditional marketer transitioning into growth or product marketing

  • A mid-level marketer stuck at the same salary level

  • A marketer preparing for leadership roles

  • A professional trying to stay relevant in the AI era

  • A marketer looking to break into tech or SaaS

  • A marketing leader navigating career uncertainty

My Approach to Marketing Career Coaching

Unlike generic career coaches, my coaching is built from real-world marketing leadership and enterprise technology experience.

I combine:

  • career strategy

  • modern marketing expertise

  • AI transformation knowledge

  • leadership coaching

  • practical execution guidance

Common Career Challenges I Help Solve

  • Feeling Stuck at Mid-Level

    Many marketers hit a ceiling after becoming:

    • Senior Specialist

    • Marketing Manager

    • Campaign Manager

    • Digital Marketing Manager

    The next step requires completely different skills:

    • strategic thinking

    • leadership

    • executive communication

    • commercial understanding

    • influence

    Most people are never taught these.

  • Interview and Positioning Challenges

    Many talented marketers struggle because they:

    • undersell themselves

    • communicate tactically instead of strategically

    • position themselves poorly on resumes and LinkedIn

    • fail interviews despite strong experience

    Career growth is not just about capability. It’s also about positioning.

    I help marketers prepare and ace their interviews, job applications, and also negotiate job offers, and promotions.

  • AI Anxiety and Career Uncertainty

    AI is changing marketing rapidly.

    Many marketers are asking:

    • Will AI replace my role?

    • Which skills will matter most?

    • How do I stay competitive?

    • How should I use AI at work?

    • What will hiring managers expect next?

    The marketers who thrive over the next 5 years will be:

    • AI-native

    • commercially strategic

    • strong communicators

    • adaptable leaders
