Annie Doan

I am all about giving back. After getting tremendous help from my network to get into Kellogg and land coveted internship and job opportunities, I became eager to help others achieve their goals. I have been a trusted advisor to many of my juniors, co-workers and friends navigating their application process and job search. Since joining Square One, I have broadened my impact beyond my network to help clients get into their dream schools. I find meaning and joy in guiding them through the reflection process and empowering them to build confidence. Having earned a 90% tuition scholarship from Kellogg, I help my clients craft unique stories and build strong applications that lead them to secure both offers and scholarships. While at business school, I was a career peer coach, providing resume review, mock interviews and consultation sessions for my classmates to find the right career path. Also, during this time, I met my husband and therefore believe the value of an MBA goes beyond a professional level.

I was a seasoned contract negotiator in the Oil & Gas sector prior to my MBA. Post-MBA, I spent 5 years in e-commerce industry, at Amazon and Wayfair. Today, I lead Product Strategy and Operations at Gusto, a cloud-based HR tech platform for SMBs.

I live in Boston with my husband and toddler son. I enjoy spending time outdoors and cooking Vietnamese food.
