Doors are open for Strategy & Ops Accelerator!


Doors are open for Strategy & Ops Accelerator!

Sep 3, 2026

A year ago I quit my job at Adobe and posted a calendar link for anyone feeling stuck in their career.
​
24 calls booked in under an hour.
​
But the group that felt most stuck surprised me.
​
Consultants.
​
After all, consulting is built around an "up or out" model, where unless you plan on sticking around til partner, you leave within 2-5 years and everyone knows it.
​
And yet, call after call, I heard stories of consultants who were feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and desperately ready for a change.
​
I had been there before.

​
​
2 years in consulting had taught me how to be lightning fast with Excel and write good emails, but it didn't teach me what I actually wanted to do next, or how to get there.
​
When I looked around me, seemingly everyone went to business school to pivot.
​
But was that really the only option?
​
I hated the idea that I had to take 2 years off and spend $200K+ (money I didn't even have) to pivot into a career that I felt I already had 70% of the same skills for.
​
Yet for so many consultants trying to break into tech and do interesting strategic work, it feels like the only way.
​
After a year of coaching people into Strategy & Ops roles, over a dozen offers, and $1.5M+ in first-year compensation landed for my clients, I can confidently say: if you're a consultant, getting a degree is far from the only way to break into Strategy & Ops.
​
So far, every consultant I've coached has landed an offer within 6 months of working with me. Something not even HBS or Wharton can claim.
​
​I've put everything I've learned from over 500+ hours of coaching into the Strategy & Ops Accelerator.​
​
It's 4 months of personalized coaching: positioning, casing, interviews, negotiation. The exact system my clients used to land Strategy & Ops roles at startups backed by firms like Kleiner Perkins and Venrock, and big tech companies you've heard of.
​
It's for people who've outgrown consulting and are ready for the next step.
​
For consultants who want to become operators and make the jump into tech now, without going into debt to do it.
​
I'm opening 8 spots for the first cohort, because I want every single person I work with to get my full focus and attention.
​
👇🏼 If that sounds like you, applications are officially open!

Here's something nobody told me when I was starting my consulting career. Strategy & ops is just internal consulting. That's it. Except... it's also not, because the implications of that one word — internal — ripple into basically everything. And candidly, I didn't fully understand how different they were until I was already in the second one. I had seen a bunch of "Day in the life of a consultant" videos but it never really clicked for me how working as an external consultant - which is what...

How I'd recruit for a BizOps role in 2026 (Pt. 3) Dec 18, 2025 If you've been following along, we've covered getting interviews (Pt. 1) and nailing behaviorals (Pt. 2). Today we're covering case interviews. This is like the final boss of interviews because it most closely mimics the job. If I give you a problem that I have run into - one that has real stakes, how would you respond? Do you get flustered and start spewing nonsense or do you lock in and problem solve? The Two Types of Cases:...

How I'd recruit for a BizOps role in 2026 (Pt. 2) Nov 19, 2025 Last week, I covered how to get interviews. This week we're covering how to convert interviews. Starting with behaviorals. If the thought of interviewing leaves your hands clammy and heart rate up, you're not alone. Most people hate interviewing because it feels like the interviewer is out to get you. That there's some trap they're waiting for you to fall in. But having been on the other side, trust me when I say: there's no trick...
