Annika’s MBA Qualifications
Coaches professionally
50+ people coached for MBA
As an MBA alum and former HEC Paris recruiter, I help ambitious professionals secure admission to Europe’s top programs, including LBS, HEC Paris, Oxford, and IESE. My coaching is designed to help you stand out as a dynamic, leadership-ready candidate. Whether you need end-to-end guidance or targeted support, I provide: • Target school selection & MBA strategy • Essay and CV reviews with actionable feedback • Interview preparation & mock sessions • Holistic coaching from first application steps to final admission What clients say: "Few know how to master the art of giving feedback, and Annika has perfected it. Her positive encouragement, combined with clear and actionable guidance, helped improve my MBA essays. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and wholeheartedly recommend her services to others. Annika has an incredible way of making you realize your potential. She helps to clear the challenges you may have and helps you focus on what you think is the right decision. It was well worth it! Overall, I am very pleased with Annika who is very professional, candid, and organized. THANK YOU for all the coaching provided. I highly recommend Annika for anyone considering applying to an MBA program." My MBA journey led to two “triple jumps” and a transition into MBB consulting. I know what it takes to leverage an MBA for a career pivot, global move, or consulting entry, and I’ll help you do the same. Beyond MBA admissions, I’m also an ICF-certified coach specializing in career pivots, strategy, and consulting pathways. 👉 Ready to get into your dream school? Let’s connect.
