Mike Halpert
I’ve spent the last 20 years navigating tech and media—from large companies (Google, Walmart E‑Commerce) to hyper‑growth startups. Where I’ve found the most leverage is helping early‑career talent learn the rules of the game faster.
20 years
Tech + media leadership, including product management orgs.
Coaching-first
Built teams and coached junior talent to ramp quickly and grow.
MBA + BA
MBA (USC Marshall) • BA (NYU)
What I do
My strategic work has supported a range of Fortune 500 clients—across investment banking, media, and telecom. But my focus here is simple: make the first job out of college less confusing.
Why I wrote Cubicle To Corner Office
Most early‑career mistakes aren’t about intelligence—they’re about missing context: expectations, etiquette, communication norms, and how decisions actually get made.
The book is a practical playbook for your first corporate role (or internship): what to do in week one, how to communicate clearly, and how to build momentum without office‑politics drama.
