About Akaash
This year alone, Akaash has helped clients land Investment Banking roles at Moelis, Ducera, LionTree, and Jefferies; Private Equity and Growth Equity roles at General Atlantic, FTV Capital, and Gauge Capital; and Consulting roles at Bain & Company. Akaash Parimeru is a seasoned finance professional with deep experience across investment banking, private equity, and corporate development. He began his career at Lazard Frères & Co. in New York, working on high-stakes M&A and restructuring mandates, before joining a newly formed $500M private equity fund as an early hire on the investment team. Across his career, Akaash has executed over $600M in sell-side M&A and private equity transactions, giving him firsthand insight into what top firms look for in candidates.

Akaash specializes in helping candidates break into Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Corporate Development roles through practical, outcomes-driven coaching. He provides hands-on guidance across every stage of the process—from resume and story crafting to advanced technical prep, mock interviews, and offer negotiation—ensuring his clients stand out and secure top-tier job offers.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of mentorship in my own personal and professional growth. I understand the challenges of breaking into competitive fields and aim to help others overcome those hurdles with actionable advice and personalized feedback. Whether it’s refining a resume, preparing for interviews, or planning career moves, I’m eager to help others reach their goals and unlock their potential.
