Looking for a career coach

Hi there! I am looking for a career coach or mentor. Can you please advise?

I am the founder of a small retail company that specializes in custom-made wedding dresses from European designers for the US market. We have a physical location in San Francisco. I've been running this business for 3 years now and have successfully reached a point where it operates autonomously and generates passive income, just as I had planned from the beginning. Before starting this venture, I gained experience in software sales/customer success for a technology company back in Ukraine.

Currently, I am exploring new opportunities and aiming to make a transition into the tech-fashion industry, capitalizing on my prior experience in both tech and fashion retail.

Ideally, I would love to join a tech-fashion startup/project, but I am not quite sure what position would be the most suitable for me or where to start.

If you have any experience with a career transition from retail to tech/fashion tech startup, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your insights. Additionally, I would be very grateful if you could recommend a career coach/mentor who can help me define a possible future role considering my experience.

Thank you so much in advance.

Ooh! This is up @nataliehoop's alley. I know a Career Coach but based in BC, Canada. She can do virtual consultations. If you're up to that, I can send her details. Otherwise, I think there are several here on Elpha that are coaches.
Thank you so much! I will appreciate it Thank you so much! I will appreciate if you can send me the contact of the coach.
For sure. Her name is Tammy Donovan, you can reach her via her website https://www.careersupport.ca/.
Omg congratulations, this is so great on so many levels! You should totally connect with @DianePrince not sure her expertise with fashion tech but she for sure can be useful when it comes to entrepreneurship/life/career coaching :)
