In my leadership role, I partnered with Terry during Google Fiber's early days. A seasoned leader herself, Terry deeply understands career transitions, having coached many on interviewing & negotiation. Her insights into what hiring managers want is vital for all candidates.
Archana Mishra
After years of working as a consultant, I was recently offered a full-time position at a tech start-up and turned to Terry for negotiation advice, which proved to be invaluable. Her depth of knowledge, rooted in lived experience, makes her an indispensable asset to any professional looking to elevate their career.
Sirenetta Leoni
In the over 20 years, I've had the privilege of knowing Terry, both as a friend and a professional acquaintance, I've been consistently impressed by her tenacity and strategic acumen. I've watched her masterfully transition across sectors, demonstrating adaptability that's truly rare. She's actively challenging and reshaping the ageism narrative.
Daniela Mielke
Terry co-led one of the Google Alumni Women layoff cohorts for women like me who were affected by the 2022 layoffs. She provided valuable job search advice. Given her energy, expertise and EQ, it was a no-brainer for me to take her up on a 1-1 offer. Terry played a part in my success landing a role as the Chief of Staff in a clean tech startup.
