Meet Your Coach
Hi, I'm Alba and I'm here to guide you toward a positive career. Let’s be honest: I didn’t start out knowing I’d be here. I was a science nerd in academia, fully immersed in research, and driven by curiosity. But somewhere along the way, I realized something was missing. I wanted more—more impact, more growth, and a career that felt aligned with who I was becoming. I took a leap, left academia, and started a journey that eventually led me to where I am today: helping you find your own fulfilling path.

With a PhD and a career that spans both the academic and corporate worlds, I bring a rare blend of analytical rigor and practical business acumen. I’ve navigated the unique challenges of career transitions firsthand, moving from academia into a six-figure role in corporate product management. This experience has equipped me with the insights, strategies, and empathy needed to support professionals at every stage of their career evolution.
