Helping Senior-Level Professionals Navigate Career Transitions with Confidence
From Aerospace to Big Tech: Now A Career Coach Guiding Senior-Level Career Transitions
If you're a senior-level professional at a mid-career inflection point, consider this your invitation to stop feeling stuck.
I’m Adam Broda, a former engineering manager turned tech product leader, who began career coaching in 2019. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of professionals at the senior, principal, and director levels land 150k–350k roles at some of the world’s top companies. Whether you're looking to make a career pivot, land your next leadership role, or get clarity on what “success” even means for you now, I'm here to help.
At Broda Coaching, our approach to career coaching is built for professionals who want practical guidance, not fluff. We deliver a data-driven, people-first coaching process that helps you move forward with confidence.
14 Years in Corporate: From Boeing to Amazon
Before founding Broda Coaching, I spent 14 years in the corporate world. I managed engineering teams at Boeing for nearly a decade and served as acting Director overseeing over 150 employees when I decided it was time for a career change. I pivoted into tech at Amazon, improving my work-life balance to spend more time with my wife and kids. There, I worked as a Senior Manager of Product Management where I built and scaled product management, software engineering, and science teams.
While at Amazon, I jumped on an opportunity to lead a program that impacted over 800,000 employees across Amazon’s global operations. That role gave me access to 10+ VPs, visibility with C-suite executives, and a clear path to promotion in one of the most competitive companies on the planet. But more importantly, it taught me how to build careers, not just climb ladders.
During my 14 years in industry, I also led
hundreds of interviews, reviewed thousands of resumes, and developed a sharp eye for what hiring managers actually care about. That experience directly informs how my team and I coach each client to be THE candidate in the eyes of the hiring manager. Not just a candidate the hiring team screens.
My Coaching Philosophy
Broda Coaching isn’t about surface-level tactics. It’s about helping you define what's important, and then building the strategy to go after it.
Here’s how we help job seekers move into their next chapter:
- Clarity First: Before you update your LinkedIn profile or write a cover letter, we get clear on what you want. Career growth without clarity leads to burnout.
- Quantify Your Impact: If you’re in a senior, principal, or director-level role, it’s not enough to say you led a team; you need to show how you created new value. We help you own your wins with metrics that matter.
- Network Authentically: You don’t need to “fake it” to build a strong network. We help you engage in real conversations that open doors; whether you’re exploring a career transition, pursuing a promotion, or are ready for a change but not sure what's next.
- Mindset Matters: I’ve coached professionals through imposter syndrome, layoffs, and burnout. I’ve lived it too. I've dealt with anxiety, and I’m open about that. We’ll work on the tools that help you stay grounded when the job market feels chaotic.
- Real Life > Job Titles: Your work isn’t your identity. We’ll build your career strategy around what actually matters to you; whether that’s personal growth, time with family, or making a bigger impact.
Who I Work With
I specialize in career transition coaching for senior-level professionals across industries. Most of my clients are pursuing or already in 150k–350k roles, and many are targeting senior, principal, or director-level positions.
They’re not always sure what their next move looks like; they know they’re ready for new opportunities.
Some are ready to go after that
leadership role.
Some want better compensation, more flexibility, or less stress.
Others are launching a
side business, planning a
career pivot, or working on
personal branding to increase visibility.
If you’re looking to land a role where you feel seen, supported, and are well-paid, my team and I can help.

Life Outside of Work
I’ve been married for 13 years. I’m a dad of two, ages 6 and 4. I live in Georgia, coach high school wrestling, and enjoy cycling when I can fit it in.
I’m a former NCAA D1 wrestler, which has shaped much of how I approach coaching today: disciplined, focused, and competitive, but also human. I believe that our careers should support our life, not consume it.
People matter more than job titles or long lists of accomplishments.
