I am absolutely dedicated to my client's success and passionate about what I do and my Linkedin recommendations will testify to that.

I am forthright with my advice with a highly perceptive, out-of-the-box approach. I bring to the table a lifetime of career coaching expertise founded on a Masters in Career Development.

I can take the view from both sides of the desk based on in the trenches recruiting experience. I guide high value talent to the right opportunities and I help my client organizations engage and grow the right talent.

My organizational and individual clients both say that working with me continues to have a significant impact on their business and career success.

In 2001, I founded and continue to moderate the WednesdayJobGroup (http://www.wednesdaynetwork.com) a free 1800+ global networking e-group exclusively for technology professionals. To join see the link above.

My newsletter, Careerzine, reaches 5000+ professionals monthly, providing insights and observations on business, economic and employment trends. Click on the link at the top to subscribe.

I have been frequently quoted or interviewed by PBS Radio, NPR's Marketplace, ABC, NBC, and CBS local affiliates, Monster.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News, CBS Early Show and USA Today.

Po Bronson called me the "guru of Silicon Valley career counselors" in his New York Times best seller, "What Should I do with My Life?"
