Your dream job within reach
One of my priorities in my post-corporate phase is to enable a new generation of technology entrepreneurs and thought leaders. At an individual level, I welcome the opportunity to share insight, inspiration, experience or expertise through career mentoring/coaching.
First, a story. In 2004, as I pursued my first CTO role, I sent a cold email to Avie Tevanian (at the time, CTO at Apple) and he agreed to meet for breakfast for a career talk that had a profound impact on my thinking and career. Most “successful” people want to help. Just ask.
For professional in senior leadership positions, we can set a structured program with clear goals like promotion, job change, interview preparation or discuss special topics like personal branding, thought leadership, company culture.
For mid-career professionals looking for transactional coaching (where you come from, where you are, advice for future), we can set conversations where I serve as a sounding board, advisor, connector.
I enjoy working with students and early-career professionals by helping them to navigate difficult early career decisions and sharing stories with the intention to inspire them to take the next step.

Engagement Model
Structured programs for professionals in leadership roles (promo, interview, special topics), incur consulting fees set case-by-case. For mid-career professionals looking for transactional coaching, there is a $200/session (call + offline interaction) fee.
Students and early career professionals who submit a compelling short essay have consulting fees waved and are asked to support the CareerZ Cast Podcast instead.

Marcio Saito
Over a 35-year career, I have built and nurtured dozens of diverse, global teams and cultures that were not only productive but also conducive to personal development and growth.
Why not someone else? Look at career history and get advice from people who have done it for real. I have hired for SW and HW development, product and program management, customer engagement, marketing, operations. As a manager, I have always taken interest in culture and career development for employees. I have done that at all levels from individual contributors in a startup to senior executives in large tech companies.
