About Arno

I made the leap from factory engineer to McKinsey consultant. I had a wonderful and formative time there, before pivoting to tech and working freelance. Even today, I look back at that time as a highlight of my career. One of my favorite aspects of consulting was capability-building, both for my clients and for incoming consultants. I saw from the inside how candidates made it in, or didn't: I was an interviewer and sat in the room when candidates were assessed. I also served as a coach in a formal cultivation and coaching program for mid-career operations candidates in EMEA. If you work with me, we will jump directly into a mock interview - no BS, no fluff, just a real interview to give you the practice and feedback you need. In rare cases, where a candidate especially struggles, I will discontinue the mock interview partway through, to get into constructive coaching and redo some key aspects. Otherwise, our hour together will be an accurate preview of the real interview. That's also why I don't do intro calls (after all, your real interviewer won't give you a courtesy intro call in advance...)
