Beyond my own experience, I’ve coached over 30 students from my school and professional network on how to position their backgrounds effectively, resulting in multiple successful admissions to top MBA programs. My coaching focuses on strategy, authenticity, and helping each student showcase their unique strengths in a competitive admissions environment.

About Alex
I’m Alex — I’ve worked across investment banking, fintech, and e-commerce, and I love helping people grow personally and professionally. Over the years, I’ve coached more than 100 students and professionals on everything from MBA admissions and career moves to building stronger relationships. My style is practical and down-to-earth — I focus on helping you get clear on your goals, build confidence, and make real progress that lasts.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen firsthand how the right guidance can change someone’s path. Early in my career, I was lucky to have great mentors who helped me navigate big transitions — from e-commerce to investment banking, and later through my MBA. Those experiences taught me how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who helps you see your potential more clearly. Coaching, for me, is a way to pay that forward. I love helping people get unstuck, find direction, and feel more confident in the choices they’re making — whether that’s in their career, their studies, or their personal life.
