Hi, I’m Sam
I’m a career coach and former creative recruiter with 20+ years of experience helping people find clarity, direction, and momentum in their careers.
I support mid-senior professionals, recent grads and career pivoters who feel stuck, misaligned, or unsure what’s next by combining reflective coaching with practical, recruiter-informed strategy to find their path and childlike spark.
My journey began 20+ years ago when I co-founded a successful boutique recruiting firm in New York City, Sam&Lori Associates.
Over the years, I’ve partnered with some of the most prestigious Advertising, Marketing, Technology, and Design firms, helping them find top talent. Companies like W+K, Rockstar Games, Apple, Google, BBDO, Lyft, Gretel, Interbrand, Adam&EveDDB, Saatchi, Mother, SS+K, BBH, and CAA are just a few of the names I’ve worked with.
I founded YourCareerCompass as a platform and community to help you discover what’s next and a path to a fulfilling career.
I’m deeply invested in your journey and success, bringing both heart and expertise to the table.
As a Certified Leadership and Performance Coach through Brown University, I am passionate about your transformation and helping you find the right path. Throughout my career, I’ve guided thousands of individuals into roles where they’ve thrived, building confidence and clarity along the way.
When I’m not helping people achieve their personal and professional goals, you might find me find me skiing or learning to snowboard in Vermont, experimenting with a new recipe, or spending quality time with my husband, three daughters, our chickens, cats, or our goofy old yellow lab.
My Values:
Compassion, Integrity, Collaboration, Helpfulness, Honesty, Transparency, Humor, Support.
