David Huang
Mary has been an invaluable resource for me and countless others in the UC Berkeley MIC’s program. Providing industry insights and trends, to giving critical review and coaching of profiles, her knowledge of the professional landscape was instrumental in shaping my most recent career move. It was an absolute pleasure working with Mary and I am immensely grateful for her guidance.

I was already impressed with the help and direction you provided in our first meeting a few weeks ago. The modification you suggested on my resume were spot on and helped me to start getting noticed with HR and Headhunters looking for senior IT executives. And today's conversation on how to prepare for the interview most certainly will help me to improve my chances to go over the next round of interviews. Among all the executive coaches I have worked with in the past, you stand out as one of the best. You have valuable career and experience as an executive coach; you spend time understanding the nature of the challenges of the executive roles I am trying to obtain; and took time to explain tools and techniques to address those challenges successfully.

Mary is an amazing professional and is one of the best advisers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is exceptionally skilled at identifying the strengths of her clients and articulating those capabilities in a clear and effective way. Mary’s support not only resulted in an exponential increase in responses to my LinkedIn profile, but her coaching was also very valuable during the negotiation phase with several prospective employers.
