Our Story

Our founder, Dave Fano, was a seasoned professional at a crossroads in his career—uncertain of the path forward. He sought advice, tools, and resources to guide his decisions, but the process was fragmented and intimidating. This experience sparked a passion for making career navigation clear, more personal, and more empowering.
