About Marcus
I spent fifteen years inside Fortune 500 talent organizations before realizing that the people who needed the most help navigating their careers were rarely the ones who got it. That realization led me to build Catalyst Careers, a coaching practice focused on helping mid-career and senior professionals unlock the next level. I have sat on both sides of the hiring table, as a corporate recruiter, a hiring manager, and now a career strategist, so I know exactly what decision-makers look for and how to position you to stand out. My approach is equal parts strategy and mindset: we refine your story, sharpen your brand, and build the confidence to go after what you deserve. Whether you are plotting a promotion, pivoting industries, or preparing for the C-suite, I bring a data-driven framework and a no-nonsense coaching style that gets results.

Success Stories
“Marcus completely rewrote my career narrative. I went from getting ghosted by recruiters to fielding three offers in a month. I accepted a role that pays 55% more and aligns perfectly with my long-term vision.”
“The negotiation coaching alone paid for the entire program ten times over. Marcus taught me how to anchor high, handle pushback, and ask for what I am actually worth. My total comp went up $85K.”
“I was stuck in the same role for four years and could not figure out why I kept getting passed over. Marcus helped me see the gaps, fix them, and position myself for the promotion I deserved. Got it within three months.”

Frequently Asked Questions
My clients are typically mid-career to senior professionals, think five to twenty years of experience, who feel stuck, undervalued, or unsure about their next move. If you know you are capable of more but cannot figure out how to get there, coaching can close that gap quickly.
I bring an insider perspective from over a decade in corporate talent acquisition. I know how hiring decisions are actually made, not just the theory. Every strategy I recommend is grounded in real-world hiring dynamics, market data, and behavioral psychology.
Most clients in the Accelerator program start getting interview invitations within two to three weeks. Job offers typically follow within 60 to 90 days, though some land faster. The Momentum session alone often uncovers quick wins you can act on immediately.
Absolutely. Industry pivots are one of my specialties. We reframe your transferable skills, build a bridge narrative, and identify the fastest path into your target industry so you do not have to start from scratch.
Yes. Many clients use professional development budgets or negotiate coaching as part of a severance or transition package. I can provide an invoice and scope document to make the approval process easy.
