Career Pivot for Mid-Career Professionals

You've spent years delivering — managing projects, leading teams, executing programmes. You're good at it.

But you can feel the ceiling. You want to move into solution architecture, pre-sales consulting, or a business-facing leadership role — and you're not sure how to make that jump without starting over.

This session is for mid-career technology professionals who are ready for that transition but need a clear-eyed perspective on how to navigate it.

We'll focus on what actually matters for your specific situation:

→ Is your current experience more transferable than you think — or are there genuine gaps you need to close first?

→ What does the path from delivery to solution architecture or pre-sales actually look like — and how long does it realistically take?

→ How do you position yourself for the role you want without waiting for someone to hand it to you?

I've made this transition myself and led teams through it across IBM, AWS, and MongoDB. I know what hiring managers at this level actually look for — and what wastes your time.

Who this is for:

Technology professionals with 8–18 years of experience in delivery, project management, infrastructure, or cloud operations who want to move into solution architecture, pre-sales, or technology leadership roles.

What to prepare:

A brief summary of your current role, how long you've been doing it, and where you want to be in 2–3 years. The more specific you are, the more useful this will be.

What this is not:

Resume review. Interview coaching. A session where I tell you what you want to hear.
