Actor to MBA: A Blueprint For Making a Stark Career Pivot
Description:
Have you ever wanted to pivot into an industry, function, or school, that you have little to no experience in? I did, and I want to help you do it to.
I went from having a BFA in theater to an MBA from Columbia, and now I work in media & tech strategy. 2012-2020, I was a professional actor. Fast forward to 2024, and I have my MBA, have interviewed hundreds of leaders in tech & entertainment, founded a company, wrote for CNN and am launching a career podcast. It's possible.
I did this through strategic unconventioal steps that I want to walk you through to get you where you want to go.
