Behind the Brand

Why We Started

Passage2Pro was born from lived experience, after I spent years navigating the emotional and professional crossroads between academia and industry. As a former associate professor turned corporate recruiter, I saw how often brilliant minds stall, not for lack of skill, but for lack of clarity and support.

What began as a single coaching conversation has grown into a mission-driven practice serving individuals, universities, and organisations across the globe.

Today, Passage2Pro is more than a coaching brand. It’s a bridge between potential and purpose.

Because talent doesn’t just need opportunities, it needs direction.

Meet Dr. Tina Persson

Before coaching thousands of researchers and professionals, I was one myself navigating the uncertainty of leaving academia and entering industry. I know what it feels like to question your identity, your skills, and your next move. That journey shaped everything we do at Passage2Pro.

Today, I bring not just experience from academia and recruitment, but a deep belief: you don’t need fixing, you need a map, a guide, and the right questions. That’s where we start.
