Bio

Monique Montanino began her tech sales and marketing career in Dallas before migrating like a salmon to Seattle.

The author wore her golden handcuffs for 18 years at two Fortune tech 200 companies—lured by cash bonuses, stock options, pensions, and the promise of retirement healthcare insurance. It allowed her to retire early, as a technology sales executive.

Monique is the founder of Resumé Tech Guru and collaborates with technology executive clients on their job search journeys. She is a certified executive coach, obtained her BBA from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from St. Mary’s University.

Her book Clicks, Tricks, and Golden Handcuffs: 5-point Roadmap for Tech Execs to Land Big-Impact Roles debuted on Amazon in 2021.
