About Me

Hi, I'm Jack Kirnan!

Certified Executive, Leadership, Career, and Grief Coach

As a Bereavement Counselor and Executive, Leadership, and Career Coach, I help my clients create new pathways in their personal lives and in their careers.

I have had the great blessing of helping hundreds of clients these past several years building on a knowledge base gleaned from 20-plus years as a highly successful analyst on Wall Street, as a Managing Director of a prominent Equity Research Department, as the Dean and MBA Program Director of three business schools, and as an Advisory Board Trustee to several non-profits.ย  I would love to hear from you and see if I can be of help as you take that next step in your life.ย 

So how about it?ย  Are you ready to take that next step?ย  I invite you to book a Free 30-minute consultation with me and explore whether coaching can be of help to what you are trying to achieve.
