Allora Collective

The People In Your Corner

Allora is small on purpose. You work with a coach who has spent a career on the hiring side of the table — and you get the whole team’s thinking behind every session.

Kelly Kugler

Founder & Head Coach

Job Search, Career Growth, Leadership & Relocation

I spent 20 years on the hiring side before I started Allora — and coached people through their careers the whole way, informally and for free.
I began in creative services operations in New York, then moved into recruiting: creative talent first, then tech, across several New York agencies. In 2013 I drove to Los Angeles, where I built an original job search program for tech talent at General Assembly. From there I built the NFL’s technology recruiting function from scratch. Then Booking.com moved me to Seattle, and a year later to their Amsterdam headquarters — which taught me what no relocation package covers.
I made it a business in 2020. Since then my team and I have helped 800+ professionals — most of them in the US — run sharper job searches, negotiate better offers, and grow into the roles they actually want. Some are pivoting industries. Some are stepping into leadership. Some are moving abroad.
What they have in common is that they aren’t leaving it to chance.
I can tell you how hiring decisions actually get made — not how people wish they were made.

"Kelly brought both depth and structure to our work together. She creates a space where you feel both challenged and at ease, which makes all the difference when you’re doing the vulnerable work of figuring out your next chapter."

How Working With Allora Works

Allora is deliberately small. We work with a limited number of clients at a time, which means you get a coach who knows your search in detail — not a slot in a queue.
Your coach leads, you shape it — Your coach leads the program and stays with you the whole way — whether that ends in a new role, a clearer direction, a promotion, or a move abroad. You shape it as you go, around your goals, your priorities, your availability, and whatever changes while you’re in it.
Coaches who collaborateYou work with one coach, and you have the full Allora team behind every session. We collaborate on client strategy and share insights across cases, so your coaching reflects the depth of the whole team.
Our network becomes yours Every coaching plan includes access to Allora’s vetted network of professionals — recruiters, culture and relocation specialists, and immigration attorneys across the US, UK, and Europe.

Rachel Meda

Relocation & Culture Specialist

UK & France

Rachel is our on-call specialist for moves to the UK and France. A senior talent acquisition professional based near Paris, she has lived and worked in the UK, Hong Kong, Thailand, and France, and has hired across Europe and Asia. When a client’s move touches those markets, she adds what a visa guide can’t: how job searches actually run there, what workplace culture expects of you, and what everyday life is really like once you arrive. She also writes on those topics for the Allora blog.

"She took the time to understand my situation and gave me actionable items I could take with me into the next step of my journey."
