Even Annie and I were in different groups, but she was always supportive and inspiring to her teammates as well as all other colleagues at the company ... I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her.

It's rare that you come across a standout talent like Annie. This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Annie, during which we worked together to improve the data quality critical for the BI team. I've always been impressed with her technical grasp of databases in the past, and am very impressed with her devotion to the data science field full time which clearly suits her mathematical and analytical background. I highly recommend Annie and hope to have another opportunity to work with her in the future.

I've known Annie for over a decade, starting from when she coached my startup, and she’s undoubtedly the most exceptional mentor I've encountered, both in technical expertise and career guidance. She has a remarkable ability to distill complex technical and mathematical concepts into clear, simple explanations. As a Chief Data Officer, she possesses a rare blend of expertise spanning databases, analytics, and business strategy—making her an invaluable asset as a C-suite executive or consultant. Beyond her professional acumen, Annie is a warm, approachable person who is always willing to offer advice on career development and share life lessons. I’ve personally benefited greatly from our conversations, and I know many others who have as well. In summary, you won’t find a better coach for data or data-related careers than Annie.

Kenneth Z ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Annie was alumni mentor while I was a student in UCLA, and she exemplifies what it means to be a mentor and leader in the data science industry. She accelerated my learning in the space, and helped me navigate many challenging problems in my internships, academic research, and recruiting. Whether it was through career advice, technical guidance, or sharing of learning resources, Annie consistently helped me get to the next level, and I appreciate her for how much she taught me and, more importantly, for how much she cared. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any coaching role.

Jennifer M ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Annie is a no nonsense and empathetic mentor. After a decade working as a software engineer for a large company I wanted to interview for new positions. After discussing my experience and my goals she was able to guide me in revising my resume and position my past work in a way that would stand out from application to interview. She was also really helpful with evaluating offers and negotiation.
