Alex’s Transitioning from the Military Qualifications

Experience level: Director

10+ people coached for Transitioning from the Military

As a former U.S. Army Captain and West Point graduate, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with transitioning from the military to civilian careers. My journey took me from leading in the Army to earning an MBA from Harvard Business School and working as a Consultant at Bain & Company. I now work in Defense Tech. I've helped numerous veterans leverage their military experience to secure roles at top-tier companies. Whether you're aiming for a career in Consulting, Defense Tech, or any other field, I'm here to guide you through every step of the process.

About Alex

Alex is an HBS MBA, Fulbright Scholar, West Point grad, and former Bain consultant with experience in private investment and defense tech. His own HBS admissions essay was featured in the book "50 Successful Harvard Application Essays," he earned a perfect score on the GRE Verbal Reasoning section, and he was offered full scholarships to Wharton and Darden. Alex has advised clients who have gone on to earn offers from top programs including Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Haas, and Fuqua. He helps applicants craft compelling narratives that stand out while fitting the vision admissions committees have for their cohorts. Note to all potential MBA candidates with U.S. Armed Forces backgrounds: I coach military clients for MBA admissions exclusively through Military MBA Consulting. I highly recommend MMC as their resources for candidates with military backgrounds are second to none. I will be happy to point you to MMC and work with you there. MMC's fine-tuned program truly will get you the best outcomes.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know firsthand how transformative elite educational opportunities can be. The process is high-stakes and deeply personal, and I believe every applicant deserves guidance that brings out their authentic story while aligning with the vision admissions committees have for the class they are building. I also bring a test-prep edge: having earned a perfect score on the GRE Verbal section, I help candidates not only tell their stories but also master the skills that make them competitive across every dimension of the application. Coaching, for me, is about unlocking both clarity and confidence so applicants can present the strongest version of themselves.
