Alex’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
I have over 10 years of experience spanning startups, strategy consulting, and talent development. I began my career in business development at high-growth startups in New York before joining Bain & Company as a consultant, leading work across private equity, healthcare, and tech. Along the way, I discovered that coaching clients and mentoring junior colleagues was the most energizing part of my work — which led me to transition into Talent Development at Bain. Most recently, I led Bain New York's Associate Consultant Program, overseeing the development and advising of early-career consultants through their first years at the firm. I was also deeply involved in recruiting as an anchor interviewer and internship program lead, giving me a keen understanding of what it takes to break into and thrive in competitive environments. I hold a BA in Psychology from Northwestern University and an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. I am passionate about helping early-career professionals get clear on what truly fulfills them — not just in their careers, but across all dimensions of their lives. Whether you're navigating your current role, exploring a transition, or simply asking bigger questions about what makes you happy, I use structured reflection, mindfulness, and analytical frameworks to help you find greater joy, connection, and fulfillment in your life.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I love helping people find clarity and confidence, reach their fullest potential, and achieve their goals. I deeply value the relationships I build with mentees and colleagues. Most recently at Bain, I had the opportunity to coach junior consultants through some of the most pivotal moments of their careers, helping them develop their skills, work towards promotions, navigate difficult transitions, and discover what they really wanted from their professional lives. Helping them reach their goals is the most rewarding part of my job.
