More about our Facilitators
Jim Gasperoni: Jim's journey to a coaching career began in his capacity as a member of senior management in the investment industry where he was heavily involved in professional development and mentoring initiatives. He found his way to the classroom and as a dynamic educator he enjoyed helping students of all ages increase their knowledge base and progress in their academic and career journeys.
Having gone through his own career transition, Jim knew how daunting change can be and he loved helping people realize that they have the power and the ability to act. Jim meets people where they are and supports them with empathy and accountability – whether it’s MBA students at Northeastern University where he serves as the career advisor or others in need in his outside practice.
Erik Pavesic: Erik currently works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an Assistant Director for Career Advising and Training! Prior to that he worked at Plymouth State University, Dartmouth College, Southern New Hampshire University, University of Hartford, and some HR roles with ComPsych. Jim has served on a Board before with the New Hampshire College and University Council.
