The Accelerated Academic-to-Industry Mastery Program
A structured, personalised process that takes you from academic CV to industry interviews. Built around your specific background, field, and target.
Most PhDs don't struggle to get industry jobs because they lack the skills. They struggle because nobody ever taught them how to make those skills visible to the people doing the hiring.
The Mastery Program closes that gap, not with generic advice, but with a process built specifically around you.
This program is for PhDs and postdocs who:
-
Are ready to make the move to industry but don't know where to start
-
Have been applying and getting silence and don't know why
-
Want to stop guessing and start moving with a clear, structured plan
-
Are looking for support that's tailored to their specific background, not a template built for someone else
What the program includes:
Career Path Recommendations
A detailed analysis of your background that maps every realistic direction your PhD could take you in industry, not just the obvious ones. Most clients discover paths they hadn't considered and rule out ones they'd been chasing for the wrong reasons.
Industry-Focused CV Transformation
Your academic CV documents everything. Your industry CV needs to argue one thing: that you're the right person for this specific role. We rebuild it from scratch in industry language, structured for the recruiter reading it in six seconds, not the academic audience you've been writing for.
LinkedIn Profile Optimisation
German recruiters search LinkedIn before they scroll it. If your profile isn't built around the keywords and role titles they're searching for, you're invisible to them regardless of how strong your background is. We rewrite it for discoverability and impact.
Personal Brand and Elevator Pitch
How you talk about your work in an interview, a networking conversation, or a cold outreach message changes everything. We build your story in language that lands immediately with industry audiences: specific, clear and free of academic framing.
Interview Preparation
Tailored to your field and your target roles, not generic "tell me about yourself" prep. Including the STAR+V framework for structuring answers that make hiring managers lean in rather than glaze over.
Salary Negotiation Support
Most academics accept the first offer. We work through how to negotiate: what to say, when to say it and how to frame it without damaging the relationship. One client used this to increase her starting package by 10.000 € in a single conversation.
Two 60-minute strategy calls
Direct access to me throughout the program, not a junior coach, not a support ticket, but the person who built the process and has made it work for many PhDs and postdocs.
3 months of email support
Questions, feedback, application reviews, and guidance throughout implementation, not just during the calls.
The Bonuses
The Identity Shift: Strategic Self-Discovery Series
The transition from academia to industry isn't just professional, it's personal. This series helps you navigate the identity shift that comes with leaving a world that has defined your worth for years.
The Imposter Antidote Toolkit
Confidence in an industry job search isn't a personality trait, it's an evidence problem. This toolkit helps you build and organise the evidence so it's ready when you need it, particularly in interviews and salary negotiations.
German Industry Insider
12 modules covering the specific norms, expectations, and structures of the German job market: CV conventions, application processes, interview culture and how hiring actually works here versus other markets.
German Business Mastery Blueprint
The practical toolkit for succeeding in Germany specifically: from Lebenslauf structure to Initiativbewerbungen, from language requirements to Mittelstand hiring norms.
30-day money-back guarantee
If after 30 days you're not satisfied with the program for any reason, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.

Career Transformation Guarantee
If you complete the program, implement the strategies, and don't secure an industry interview within 3 months, we'll provide an additional 3 months of personalised coaching at no extra cost.
Availability
The program is limited to 5 clients per month, not as a marketing tactic, but simply because this is just me, and the quality of the work depends on the focus I can give each client. Five is the number where I can give everyone the attention the process requires.
Applications are reviewed before any commitment is made. If the program isn't the right fit for your situation, I'll tell you. I'd rather turn away a fee than fail to deliver results.
No commitment. No pressure. A 30-minute conversation to understand your situation and whether the program is right for you.
What happens when the translation is right
Real outcomes from real academics across fields, countries and career stages.
61 days → Senior Research Engineer
A materials scientist who had been unemployed for nearly a year, with a visa expiry approaching, landed a Senior Research Engineer role developing magnetic RF microsystem devices in Austria.
The shift came from interview preparation and rebuilding how she talked about her own work.
80 days → Engineer at xFab
A chemical and electrical engineering PhD who had been applying randomly with no responses rebuilt her CV and interview approach. 80 days later she received an offer as Engineer Design Support at xFab.
90 days → Project Manager, MedTech
An immunologist postdoc who lost his contract the week we started working together landed a Project Manager role in MedTech before finishing the program, by reframing his existing project management experience in industry language.
93 days → Research Technology Sales Manager
A physics PhD landed a Research Technology Sales Manager role, a direction she hadn't originally considered, before even finishing her PhD. She also negotiated her starting package from 65.000 € to 75.000 € guaranteed in year one.
Interview invitation in one week
A client reduced her five-page academic CV to two focused pages. One week later she had her first industry interview invitation.
Spots are reviewed individually. Booking the call is not a commitment to join the program, it's the first conversation.
