Claudio Antonini, PCC

Finance Career Coach & ex-BNP Paribas & FTSE 100 in London & online

Build Your Strategy

Your next finance move should be strategic — not left to chance.

Bespoke career strategy for experienced banking and finance professionals making high-stakes career decisions, transitions and job moves.

I’m Claudio Antonini, PCC, a Finance Career Coach with 10+ years in finance, including BNP Paribas and FTSE 100 companies, and 2,500+ coaching hours.

I help finance professionals identify their strongest next move, position themselves credibly in the market, and build the route to make it happen.

When the Next Move Matters

You may be:

→ Choosing between several credible career options

→ Considering a move across role, sector, geography or seniority

→ Struggling to translate strong experience into a compelling market proposition

→ Taking action but generating too few of the right opportunities

The answer is rarely simply to apply harder.

Important finance career moves require the right direction, positioning and route to market.

Bespoke Career Strategy — £750

Decide the right move.

A private strategic engagement designed to diagnose the real career problem and determine the strongest route forward.

I assess your situation, challenge assumptions and conduct my own analysis before developing recommendations based on your objectives, career capital, constraints and market evidence.

Through diagnostics, an in-depth strategy session, independent analysis, a written Bespoke Career Strategy and debrief, you receive my evidence-based assessment and recommendations on:

• the career options and target roles worth pursuing—and those to deprioritise

your strongest market positioning and the objections you need to overcome

the most credible route to market, including where your job search or interview strategy needs to change

your strategic priorities and next actions

Why Work With Me?

Finance insider expertise — 10+ years in finance, including BNP Paribas and FTSE 100 companies

Evidence-based judgement — I pressure-test your options against market reality. If the evidence does not support a target, I will say so.

Bespoke strategic thinking — I analyse your career capital, objectives, constraints, options and market evidence rather than applying a generic career template

Joined-up strategy — Career direction, positioning and route to market built around one coherent strategy rather than treated as separate problems

Proven finance transitions — Clients have moved across function, sector, geography and seniority, including sell-side to buy-side transitions, international relocations and senior leadership moves. Selected case studies include compensation increases of 36%, 40% and 85%

From Strategy to Implementation

Knowing the right move and successfully making it happen are two different challenges.

The Bespoke Career Strategy is a standalone engagement and the starting point for every client.

You leave with a strategy designed to be implemented independently.

Where ongoing support would materially strengthen the execution of that strategy, we can continue working together through my 1:1 Career Transition Programme.

This can include positioning, opportunity generation, networking, market feedback, interviews, negotiation and adapting the strategy as real-world evidence comes in.

Where I invite you to continue through the Programme, your £750 Strategy investment is credited in full against the Programme fee if you enrol within seven calendar days of the Strategy Debrief.

The objective is to help you execute the strategy faster, make better decisions as the market responds, and improve the quality of the outcome.

Your Next Step

If your next finance move matters enough to deserve proper analysis rather than trial and error, start by determining the strongest route forward.

What clients say about me
I was immediately drawn to Claudio's first-hand experience in high-pressure financial roles. His understanding of the unique challenges and demands of the finance industry made our conversations both authentic and practical. Through our coaching partnership, I successfully pivoted from investment banking to venture capital - a transition that has proven transformative both professionally and personally.
Jarryd Brad Faiers, ex-M&A Investment Banking Analyst at UBS
His program has helped me succeed in getting a position in a FTSE pharmaceutical company in the UK. His previous experience provides him with the wisdom of knowing what is happening to you when joining the program.
Juan Martin, Ex-Financial Risk Manager at IAG (British Airways' owner)
I got a job which fits me better in less than 6 months. I think it is very important during the times of change to have someone who will support you, with whom you can share and discuss what bothers you and who can help you to get an organized approach and dedication to your career plan.
