Adam’s Private Equity Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
Adam has helped clients get into these companies:
My private equity experience is hands-on, not adjacent: I worked at a distressed PE firm during my MBA and spent seven years at Citi in EMEA, reaching AVP, building the financial and analytical foundation PE recruiters test for. I've also sat through a real M&A transaction from the integration side at Accenture, so I understand deals as they actually play out, not just as case studies. I coach the full breaking-in process — story, technicals, and the modelling-and-judgment combination PE interviews demand — with direct, no-fluff feedback from someone who's lived the work.

About Adam
I help MBA and Master's applicants — and candidates breaking into consulting, banking, and private equity — turn a strong but scattered background into a single, convincing story that wins offers and scholarships. I spent seven years at Citi in EMEA before going to London Business School as a Merit Scholar, with an Executive Leadership Programme at Oxford's Blavatnik School along the way. I cleared the case interviews and won an internship offer at BCG, reached advanced rounds at other top consulting firms, and now work in post-merger integration at Accenture following a live M&A deal — so I coach from current, hands-on exposure to both strategy and execution, not memory. I came to all of this from a Natural Sciences degree at UCL, which means I understand the non-traditional applicant especially well: how to turn an unconventional path into your strongest asset rather than a thing to explain away. I work with candidates worldwide, and I have particularly deep experience supporting international applicants — including many women from the Gulf and emerging markets. I speak Arabic and have spent years working with individuals from the GCC.
Why do I coach?
My edge isn't drilling templates. It's helping you stress-test why you actually want this school, role, or career — the question most candidates never sit with — and then building a narrative that's grounded, coherent, and unmistakably yours. One client came to me after being rejected by two top European universities; we rebuilt her story and her confidence from the ground up, and she's now interviewing at a top 10 B-school with a scholarship on the table. Technique gets you to competent. Clarity and conviction get you the offer.
