About Me

I've spent 21 years in design - 13 of them leading teams at startups, B2B companies, SaaS businesses and ecommerce giants. I've been the overlooked senior. The first-time manager drowning in ambiguity. The person who built something genuinely excellent and still had to fight to be taken seriously in the room. That experience is what I bring to every conversation here. Book a session with me if you need a sharp, experienced perspective on: • Portfolio strategy and positioning (not just 'does this look good') • Resume and personal brand clarity • Interview preparation and offer negotiation • Navigating a specific situation at work - a difficult manager, a stalled promotion, a team dynamic that's off • Figuring out whether your next move should be a new role, a new direction, or something else entirely I'm direct, I've been in these situations, and I won't waste your 30 minutes with generic advice. If after a session you want to go deeper into the bigger questions about who you want to become and why your career keeps feeling like it's moving sideways - I also work with people in longer coaching engagements through my practice at chrisgoodwyncoaching.com. Book a session. Let's figure out what's actually going on.
