Let me tell you a bit about the clients I serve…
…and a few of the places my clients have landed jobs…
Kyle and I have known each other for many years and he still pushes me to get creative and to think outside of the box. He provides honest feedback and has coached me all throughout my job hunt process. I landed a job at a Fortune 500 company, where I leaned on Kyle for his expertise, guidance, and support. He helped build my confidence and prepared me for top interviews.
I would HIGHLY recommend Kyle to anyone who needs additional support through mentoring, coaching, or simply someone trying to figure out their next career steps.”
–KRISTINA CABALLERO
My clients achieve what they never imagined was possible…
- A CTO who hadn’t interviewed externally in 20+ years identified his unique value proposition, polished his interview skills, and landed a coveted Fortune 500 leadership role.
- A product leader in tech secured her first executive position and a $200K+ raise following an 8-round interview process that included multiple panel interviews.
- An HR executive regained confidence in her public speaking skills, delivered multiple presentations throughout her job search, and received competing offers.
- An SVP of engineering at a large tech company learned how to position himself as a value-add to startups, received multiple exciting offers, and ultimately joined a rapidly growing tech startup.
- A tech founder interviewed for the first time in 10+ years, discovered how to reposition his experience to attract the attention of larger tech firms, and secured a product leadership role.
While your results will vary, know they will be anything but ordinary. That’s my promise.
Kyle is very professional and absolutely pleasant to work with.
As a non-native English speaker, Kyle helped me polish my resume and prepare the job interview. I got my job offer after two sessions with Kyle. He is also very responsive and makes sure that I have every question answered. I would recommend Kyle to anyone who’s so close to their dream job.”
—ELLIE CHANG
Here are the results you can expect from my tech interview coaching services…
You are here because you want to improve your interview skills, you want to make the best first impression possible, and you want to find a job you LOVE.
As an interview coach specializing in high tech and Silicon Valley, I harness my expertise to help you rethink, reimagine, and recreate your career stories.
Using The Fabulousness Methodology, I will teach you the proven interview methods that have landed my clients jobs at nearly every Fortune 500 company you can name.
The results?
Caffeinated stories.
Increased confidence.
Interview jitters eliminated.
More job offers.
Kyle was exactly what I needed when I needed it.
I had a goal to change jobs and I was having mediocre success at getting attention and landing interviews but it wasn’t for jobs that really interested me. Then I started working with Kyle and the opportunities just started rolling in. I left each session with him with action items and full of positivity. Following his methods I landed multiple interviews. I went from not really knowing what I wanted, to knowing exactly what I wanted and obtaining it. I highly recommend investing in yourself and working with him!”
—CHARLOTTE SHIMKO
How I partner with you to make the best first impression possible…
As you review the following tech interview coaching packages, remember that a great first impression can be the difference between landing a job you LOVE and getting rejected. I teach you how to make the best first impression possible.
While plenty of interview coaches offer mock interviews, I instead offer a bespoke coaching experience you cannot find anywhere else. I harness my deep expertise in coaching to help you own your fabulousness, rethink and recreate your career story, and confidently walk into tech interviews.
Please know that I work with a very limited number of interview coaching clients at a time. My clients achieve what often feels impossible because I am deeply committed to their success and their happiness. My coaching practice is application-only, and I often have a waiting list for new interview coaching clients.
My typical client makes six or seven figures annually and loses $5,000 to $20,000+ every week they are unemployed, not including health insurance and other benefits.
When you factor in the $50,000 to $250,000+ total compensation increases my clients typically receive with their new job offers, my coaching is a small investment that pays for itself many times over.
While every client is unique, the average ROI of my coaching programs is a minimum of 700%.

I had a fantastic experience partnering with Kyle.
I reached out to Kyle to specifically help me prepare for in-person interviews. I didn’t expect him to serve as a much-needed resource throughout the entire recruiting process! Kyle was easily accessible via text and e-mail at any time. Kyle gave me confidence and made me see my worth. There is no way I could have made it through the recruiting process with such a good offer on the table without him!”

When you’re ready to achieve the impossible, I’m here for you.
I enjoyed working with Kyle. He was very helpful with my preparation for my interviews. He assisted me in crafting powerful stories so that I could stand out better as a candidate. He pushed me to identify what sets me apart from other candidates and how to show how fabulous I am. He encouraged me to demonstrate what I did, what was my impact, how I could add value to the organization, and to tie it back to the role. He was very responsive anytime I reached out with questions or needed some advice regarding my interviews, which I greatly appreciated it.
He brought a positive attitude, which was very welcome during a stressful job search process.”
–Brandon Wasserman
Your questions answered…
What’s your experience helping clients prepare for interviews at [insert big tech company name here]?
My clients have landed interviews — and jobs — at nearly every Fortune 500 company you can think of, as well as hundreds of large privately held companies and hyper-growth startups.
What’s your experience working with C-suite executives and other senior business leaders?
The vast majority of my business comes from word-of-mouth and referrals, because I deliver results over and over again. Subsequently, my current and former coaching clients include:
- C-suite executives (including CEO, CFO, CAO, CCO, COO, CMO, CHRO, CIO, CTO, CISO, and CRO) and senior business leaders (EVPs, SVPs, VPs, Heads, and Directors) at Fortune 100 and Global Fortune 500 companies (both tech and non-tech), hyper-growth startups (pre-IPO, PE-backed, and VC-backed), large privately held companies, publicly traded companies, and multinational conglomerates
- Executives and consultants at McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Booz Allen Hamilton, and IBM, among other top consulting firms
- Coaches, songwriters, producers, and strategic partners to Simone Biles, Ellen DeGeneres, Jamie Foxx, Machine Gun Kelly, Usher, Meghan Trainor, 5 Seconds of Summer, Linkin Park, Lil Dicky, and other artists and A-list celebrities
- Current and former direct reports of Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Gary Vaynerchuk (VaynerMedia), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other household names
Do you work with college students, recent graduates, or individual contributors?
I specialize in coaching senior managers, executives, and C-suite leaders in the tech industry.
I do not work with college students or recent graduates, and I work with a very limited number of senior individual contributors (10+ years of experience) on a case-by-case basis. Please schedule a consultation to see whether working together is your next best step.
If we are not a mutual fit, I will provide you with a referral to a trusted industry colleague who better aligns with your background, needs, and goals.
How would you describe your coaching style?
Clients often describe me as quick, insightful, and no-nonsense. I’m empowering, engaging, and fun (What’s the point if we’re not having fun?!) without delivering fluff.
I’m direct. An HR executive and mentor said I’m an expert at pinning clients against the wall (kindly) until they solve their biggest problems and achieve the results they came for. She regularly sends me her toughest cases, i.e. the ones no one else dares to take on.
Because most of my clients are tech executives, I am goal-oriented and incredibly results-driven while remaining open to whatever arises during our sessions. I’ll help you stay accountable while also teaching you to slow down and truly celebrate your wins.
I am an exceptional listener and often notice patterns about how you show up—trends you likely have not recognized yourself.
I completed my doctorate in adult education and earned a graduate certificate in college teaching, so I am trained at the doctoral level to develop tailored content that will work for your unique learning style.
Many of my clients are neurodiverse and/or disabled, and I excel at adapting my approach to meet diverse learning needs.
You can read a few of the hundreds of verified reviews from my clients on this page.
Are you trauma-informed?
Yes, I’m a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, I have completed advanced training in trauma-informed coaching, and I wrote my doctoral dissertation on mental health storytelling. I believe we’re most effective when we honor and acknowledge the role of trauma in our work and in our lives.
Importantly, you won’t be asked to share anything you don’t want to. You’re in the driver’s seat. You’re in control.
I haven’t interviewed in 5, 10, 20+ years. Can you help me?
Absolutely! You’re in the right place. Many of my clients are senior managers and executives who have not looked for a job in a decade or more.
My Zone of Genius is helping you rethink, reimagine, and recreate how you share your career stories. I partner with you to increase your confidence, eliminate your interview jitters, and get you more job offers.
What if I want to cover a topic(s) that is not listed in one of your programs?
Let’s do it! Each of my career coaching programs is customized to your unique needs, goals, and learning style. During your no-obligation consultation, first session, and throughout the program, we will determine what areas to focus on to ensure you make the best first impression possible.
The topics listed above are purely for illustrative purposes. In fact, some clients choose to ditch the topics listed and create a 100% individualized program.
You will quickly learn that one of my greatest talents is curating a one-of-a-kind experience that ensures your success.
Here are the 10 most common topics that clients bring to their career coaching sessions with me:
- Elevator Pitch Creation
- STAR(T) Story Development
- Job Posting Analysis
- Interview Presentation Strategy and Feedback
- Post-Interview Questions
- Interview Follow-Up
- Salary Negotiation
- 30-60-90 Day Plans
- Executive Presence
- Confidence Building (AKA Owning Your Fabulousness)
Note: I do not offer technical interview prep or coding interview prep.
Can I start with a single coaching session?
The coaching I provide is deep, transformational work. A single session can offer insight, but real, lasting change requires a consistent, structured approach.
Think of it as being like the gym—you can’t expect meaningful change after one visit. You have to be consistent to achieve results.
We’ll begin with a comprehensive program aimed at ensuring lasting growth. After completing their first program, many of my clients continue meeting with me bimonthly or quarterly to maintain momentum.
Schedule a no-obligation consultation to see whether working together is your next best step.
What should I expect during my first session?
This article outlines what to expect during your first coaching session. I’ll also send you a detailed welcome letter and instructions once you sign up for your program.
In your very first session, we’ll cover “housekeeping” issues and build rapport, revisit your goals for the process, and dive into actual coaching! We’ll conclude by recapping the session and discussing “homework” for you to work on before we meet next.
What if I want additional career coaching sessions?
Many clients choose to invest in additional career coaching sessions once they complete their program with me. Additional career coaching sessions are available at $475 per session (50 minutes). All sessions include highly caffeinated session notes in addition to customized “homework” to keep you on track toward achieving your career goals.
Do you offer payment plans?
I accept all payments through PayPal, which allows payment via debit or credit card, or six 0% interest monthly payments via PayPal Credit (for those who qualify). As a one-person shop, I do not offer in-house payment plans.
Your employer may allow you to use professional development plans to cover the cost of working with a coach. Check with your manager or HR representative to confirm.
Do you offer refunds?
Nope. I only work with leaders who are ready to show up fully and put in the effort needed to achieve lasting change. Coaching is a collaborative process that involves multiple sessions, deep reflection, and significant “homework.” While your program will be customized to meet your unique goals, please expect to commit extensive time and energy to the process.
When can we start?
I run an application-only coaching practice. I often have a waiting list due to a full coaching practice and busy speaking schedule. Click here to schedule a no-obligation consultation.
Oh no, I have a last-minute interview! Can you help me?
Maybe! I set aside time on my calendar each week for my popular Last-Minute Interview Coaching Program. Contact me to see if I currently have an opening to help you prepare for your upcoming interview.
I hired Kyle for a last minute interview after seeing his portfolio and great reviews. By the end of our first session I was impressed by Kyle’s ability to identify the areas of improvement – surprisingly not the ones I thought about – followed by a direct and concise follow up. He is direct, precise and his ability to ask the right questions is amazing.
Needless to say I landed the job I wanted, and cannot be happier about it.”
