Imagine this:

You’ve successfully transitioned from academia or clinical work into an industry role where your skills are valued and your impact is clear.

 

No more second-guessing how to position yourself—you’re confident, in control, and moving forward in a career that excites you.

 
Ignite your industry career

And as a faculty member or advisor

You no longer feel stuck trying to guide students and postdocs into an industry career without knowing much about it. Your trainees have the tools, support, and direction they need—without you having to take time away from teaching and research to figure it out.

But the truth is,

You’re an academic or clinician feeling trapped in a career that no longer fits

 

You have valuable skills, but translating them to industry? That’s another story. The job market feels overwhelming (hello, LinkedIn doom scrolling!), and figuring out the right path—let alone how to stand out—seems impossible. Resumes, cover letters, and imposter syndrome pile up, leaving you questioning if companies will ever recognize the value you bring.

And if you’re a faculty member or advisor, you see talented students and postdocs struggling on the academic job market and struggling to navigate transition to industry, but you don’t have the industry experience to guide them. You want to help—but where do you even start?

 

We’ve been there. We get it. And we know exactly how to get you (and your students) to the other side—faster, smarter, and with more confidence.

Let’s get you to the other side

We’ve been in your shoes

—facing big challenges, trying to turn bold ideas into reality. But academia moves slowly and we weren’t willing to wait. We knew we had to make a change to disseminate knowledge more quickly into practice.

So, we ventured into the corporate world, scaling teams, driving innovation, and proving that a scientific mindset is a superpower in any industry. Now, we’re using what we’ve learned to help you unlock new opportunities.

Christine’s expertise and guidance have been invaluable in my transition from academia to industry.

I do feel like I have much more clarity regarding the type of places I'd love to work at.

“This allows me to be much more intentional about where I'm putting my time and energy in the job search process.

I'm feeling much more "world is my oyster," and I have some tangible examples of career paths that I can take AND how it might mesh with what I need right now, which is also game-changing!

I've now been more intentional about the types of jobs I'm looking at and I've realized that I don't have to work in the standard corporate world to do the type of work I want to do!”
