Chris Hackley

I came to consulting the long way: a biology PhD at NYU, two biotech startups that raised millions, then an MBA at NYU Stern, a Summer Associate role at McKinsey, and now a full-time offer to return next year. I learned case and fit interviews from scratch, recently, so I know where career changers get stuck. Who I work with: PhDs, postdocs and industry scientists moving into consulting or strategy MBA candidates recruiting for consulting Experienced professionals and founders switching careers How I coach: Answer first: in fit stories and cases, lead with the point, then the support. Hypothesis driven: run cases from a hypothesis you test and revise, not a memorized framework. Your real story: nothing invented, nothing from any firm's internal materials. Written notes after every session, so you know what to practice next. Not sure where to start? Book a free 15-minute intro call.
