Adrian’s Management Consulting Qualifications
Experience level: Analyst
10+ people coached for Management Consulting
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I'm a former McKinsey consultant who's helped dozens of candidates land offers at MBB and other top firms. I believe the management consulting interview process is truly learnable, and nearly anyone can become a master with the right guidance. If you’re eager enough to be on Leland, I bet you have what it takes. This belief is founded on my own experience. I flunked my first case interview sophomore year of undergrad. Dejected but determined, I spent HUNDREDS of hours practicing, seeking mentors, and reading books / programs. Eventually, I developed my own system to deconstruct cases, identify my weak points, and train in a methodical way. This propelled me to: 🙌 Secure my dream job at McKinsey 📚 Become WashU’s Consulting Club President, leading weekly group and 1:1 coaching sessions for 2 years 📋 Become a trained McKinsey case and behavioral interviewer 📈 Lead candidate case prep efforts for McKinsey recruiting

About Adrian
Originally from Toronto, Canada, I came to the US as a varsity baseball recruit for Washington University in St. Louis. After struggling to secure playing time for 2 years, I quit the team and refocused my energy on landing a management consulting job. Only one problem: I SUCKED at case interviews. Determined to prove to myself that I was capable, I set out to master case interviewing. Hundreds of hours later, I ended up with: ‣ My dream job at McKinsey ‣ A uniquely deep understanding of case interviews + how to systematically improve ‣ A clearer approach to thinking / problem-solving in general ‣ A belief that nearly anyone can master case interviewing, and ‣ A passion for helping others do so I've since left McKinsey to lead strategy and operations teams at mission-driven startups in education and healthcare. I'm passionate about mental health, entrepreneurship, and haircutting (hair stylist of 10+ years; long story). Hope we get to work together :-)
Why do I coach?
I love seeing candidates grow and saving them the stress and time of ineffective / misguided work that I had to painfully endure on the way to my goals!
