SVO Connect

  • SVO Connect is for:

    • Alumni navigating a job search, promotion, or industry transition

    • Early-career professionals (1–8 years out) preparing for salary negotiations or leadership conversations

    • Anyone who wants to think more strategically about their next move and needs a trusted, integrative sounding board

    Current students receive pro bono advising as part of my academic role. If that's you, please reach out directly—no fee, no fuss.

specialized sectors

You're at a moment of transition—a new role, a salary negotiation, a career pivot. You don't just need generic advice. You need someone who can see the full landscape: your strengths, the market, the opportunities you haven't even considered.

I see connections others miss. That's how my brain works—integrating ideas, people, and possibilities from seemingly distant worlds. SVO Connect is my focused offering for former students and early-career professionals who want to move with clarity and confidence.

Rooted in my SVO philosophy—Strengths, Versatility, Opportunity—these sessions give you strategy, network access, and a clear path forward.

If you are interested in a 60m session (SVO Clarity) or retainer (SVO Castillo) package, both are offered as well! Contact Dr. Savant for more information!

What's Included

Each SVO Connect session is designed to give you clarity, strategy, and access.

What You Get:

  • 90-minute strategy session - We'll map your situation, clarify your goals, and build your narrative. I bring my integrative lens—connecting dots you may not see.

  • Custom pitch development - Whether it's an interview, a raise request, or a career pivot, we'll hone exactly what to say and how to say it.

  • Targeted connections - If a strategic introduction would help—to someone in your target industry, role, or company—I'll make it or guide you on how to approach.

  • Written action plan - You'll leave with a clear summary of our conversation and concrete next steps.

Why SVO Connect is different

I've spent years as a professor, consultant, and connector—the person people come to when they need to make sense of their next move. I've advised hundreds of students and professionals on career strategy, organizational culture, and how to navigate complex transitions.

What I offer isn't just advice. It's:

  • Integrative thinking —I see patterns across industries, roles, and people. I'll help you connect your strengths to opportunities you may not see yet.

  • Network access —to people and opportunities that can accelerate your path

  • Candor —I'll tell you what I see, not what you want to hear

  • A bias toward action —you'll leave with something concrete, not just a good conversation
