About
I coach high-achievers through career pivots: people who've done everything right on paper and still aren't sure what's next. I've made the moves my clients are weighing. I started in sales at P&G, left for Wharton, became a consultant at BCG, then came into AI sideways, with no CS degree. I built my first app on the side, joined BCG's Applied AI team, and now lead AI transformation strategy at Scribe. So I'm not coaching from theory. I know the unspoken rules in these places, where high performers get stuck, and what it looks like when someone is optimizing for the wrong thing without realizing it. My style is direct, practical, and warm. We start with what you actually want and work backward from there. I won't let you confuse motion with progress, and I'll tell you when the story you're telling about your career is out of date. I work best with early-career professionals and consultants who are serious about making a change, including into AI. My background in psychological and brain sciences shapes how I listen. The work itself is practical: a clear next move, and the story to tell about it.

Alison’s Break Into AI Careers Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
I came into AI sideways. In January 2026 I was a consultant at BCG with no technical background. I saw an app someone had built with Claude Code, signed up that day, and built my first app on the side. When I showed it to a colleague, he told me BCG had a team doing exactly this. I joined BCG's Applied AI team, co-led an AI agent that's now required on about 500 cases a year, and was promoted to Applied AI Lead and then Project Leader. When I posted about it, AI startups started reaching out, and I left to become the Founding AI Transformation Strategist at Scribe. So I know the non-technical path into AI work because I just walked it: which roles fit a strategy or operations background, how to build proof without an engineering degree, and how to tell the story so AI-native companies take you seriously. I still build my own AI workflows every week, and I teach people to build their first one. This coaching is for individuals and their own careers, not for companies or teams.

Why do I coach?
Almost every door in my career was opened by someone else: managers who wrote my recommendations, classmates who prepped me for interviews, the person who first showed me what AI could do. The moments that changed my trajectory weren't promotions. They were honest conversations with people who saw what I couldn't see myself. I coach to hold the door open for the next person.
