turn your audience into your champions: ignite curiosity 🔥 scaffold understanding ✔ maximize impact 🚀. The PresentBetter Program for lab research groups & academic institutes -now over 7,000 researchers served.

Every piece of research, when effectively communicated, can spark change. 

In academia. In careers. In society.

But too often, important findings remain hidden, their potential unrealized. 
The importance/impact of research gets:
●	Buried under layers of complexity
●	Communicated without connecting
●	Overwhelmed by scientific terms and processes

This is why I created PresentBetter: 
To transform how your researchers share their ideas with the world. 
Together we distill years of complex study into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with and inspire audiences.
By amplifying researcher’s voices, we elevate the ability to communicate research in ways that:
●	Moves people
●	Propels careers forward
●	Bridges the gap between academia and society

Through PresentBetter.org, I offer tailored solutions to meet diverse needs:
1.	Individual Coaching: One-on-one sessions crafted for your specific presentation challenges.
2.	Lab and Department Workshops: Small group training to elevate your entire team's communication skills.
3.	Institutional Programs: Comprehensive, scalable solutions for universities and research institutions.
4.	Conference and Event Preparation: Targeted coaching for high-stakes presentations that can define careers.
5.	Online Courses: Self-paced learning for researchers seeking flexibility.

We aim to create a future where every researcher's voice resonates with clarity and impact.

Co-Founder

I work with individuals and organizations to help researchers present better. I start with helping them find their story and then coach them to deliver it in the most effective way.  Since Covid, my work has focused around helping people navigate the shifts to presenting online: 
👉 your voice (tone, pace, volume, pausing) remains your most important tool, and embracing the attitudes and feeling you want to convey is your most critical skill.
👉 stories still rule: tech interaction tricks are useful, but don't get sucked too far down that rabbit hole because stories are still the most effective driver of deep engagement, learning and memory.
👉 understand the impact of body language: while it has become less impactful on the audience, it still influences your own confidence and energy.
👉 the movement of visuals in person competes with your ability to engage your audience, but online, that same movement helps capture and retain attention: adjust accordingly.

Transforming careers for Ph.D's, Eng’s & researchers | Scientist (Ex-GE) by default People's Engineer by Choice | Career Elevation Coach | Founder Dynamic Professionals Hub | Spoken @ IITs & corporates|

Most Ph.D.s researchers & academicians think the job market is about merit. It isn’t.


It’s about market positioning  and that’s why so many brilliant scientists, engineers, and researchers are overlooked for industry roles.

I Should know.

In the peak of the 2009 recession, I landed two high-paying jobs at General Electric and Honeywell not because I was the smartest candidate, but because I knew how to turn my research into market value that companies couldn’t ignore.

That became the foundation of my Smart Dumb Ph.D® philosophy:

Smart enough to adapt to the needs of the market.

Dumb enough to know there’s more to learn and the rules can be rewritten.

Since then, I’ve worked with Ph.D.s and researchers from 6+ countries, helping them go from:

Underpaid experts → in-demand industry insiders

Endless rejections → multiple job offers

Defensive interviewees → confident value communicators

and landing roles in companies like astrazeneca, Citi, Nokia, Seimens, Qral & many more.

My clients don’t just “fix their resume” they rewrite their professional identity, master high-stakes interviews, negotiate salaries that make them proud, and step into roles they once thought were out of reach. 

If you’re a Ph.D. stuck in the “apply and pray” loop, the problem isn’t you — it’s your positioning. And that’s fixable, fast.

I’m not for everyone. 

But if you’re ready to stop competing like a commodity and start positioning like a category of one we should talk.
