About Dustin

Hi there! I'm a former aspiring foreign service officer (William & Mary, BA in Public Policy), consultant (KPMG Growth & Strategy), MBA graduate (Wharton) turned Chief of Staff, Senior Manager (Capital One). I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for the formal and informal coaches and mentors I had along the way. They walked me through the unspoken rules and norms of many environments I've now successfully navigated - and in this phase of my life and career, I want to pay it forward. My coaching style is empathetic, practical, and deeply honest. I’m a big believer that most career challenges aren’t about capability; they’re about clarity, confidence, and access to the right context. Whether you’re navigating a pivot, preparing for a stretch role, or trying to break into more senior rooms, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build a path that actually fits you. I’m especially passionate about supporting high-performing women and first-generation operators who are ambitious, thoughtful, and maybe a little tired of figuring everything out alone. If you’re looking for a coach who will listen closely, challenge you when needed, and translate vague goals into concrete next steps - I would love to work with you.
