I help Directors and VPs fix that. As a 10-time tech executive — including 8x VP and 2x GM — and an early pioneer in hiring tech, I’ve been on both sides of those hiring decisions. I know exactly what lands. And what doesn’t.
Most career coaches will help you polish your resume. I’ll help you understand why your story isn’t differentiating you — and rebuild it so the right people take notice.
I spent 25 years as a tech executive — 8x VP, 2x GM, across ten companies. I’ve designed roles, built teams, and made promotion calls under real commercial pressure. I was also a pioneer in hiring tech, which gave me a front-row seat to what separates the candidates who get called from the ones who don’t.
Before all of that, I was an award-winning journalist. That’s where I learned to find the story inside someone’s experience — the pattern, the through-line, the thing that makes everything else make sense.
That combination is rare. And it’s exactly what senior leaders need — Directors moving into VP roles, VPs stepping into the C-suite, and executives navigating what’s next.
Your background got you here. Your narrative has to get you to what’s next.
The experience is there. The track record is real. But resumes read like org charts, LinkedIn profiles read like job listings, and interviews sound like recitations — leaving hiring leaders to connect dots they shouldn’t have to connect.
Career Storyline takes what you’ve built over a career and turns it into a narrative that’s clear, specific, and impossible to overlook.
For senior leaders pursuing their next role. We build the narrative, positioning, and materials that get you in front of the right opportunities — and make sure you’re ready when you get there. Resume, LinkedIn, interview preparation, and ongoing strategic counsel until you land.
Career Acceleration serves two kinds of senior leaders — those who just arrived in a new role and want to get it right, and those who’ve been in place and want to do more with it. Ongoing strategic counsel built around where you are right now.
For HR and talent teams that need expert support for executive onboarding or high-potential leader development. Rob works directly with your leaders to sharpen their positioning, communication, and influence. Tailored to specific situations.
Most senior leaders arrive with two things: a strong track record and real uncertainty about how to talk about it.
The first conversation is about both. Where you want to go, what you’ve built, and what’s actually possible in this market — with the right strategy behind you.
From there, the work gets specific. Every engagement is built around three things: a clear label that tells the market exactly who you are, the superpowers that separate you from everyone else with the same title, and a precise articulation of what you want next.
That foundation drives everything — resume, LinkedIn profile, elevator pitch, success stories, networking approach, interview strategy, and compensation negotiation. By the end, you don’t just have better materials. You have a point of view on your own career that you can defend in any room. What clients do with that tends to speak for itself.
