Arush’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Consultant

60+ people coached for Management Consulting

I’m a current consultant at BCG and Chicago Booth MBA in Houston, working across energy, climate, and sustainability. Before business school, I worked in engineering and decarbonization roles, and I’ve built my career across Australia, and the United States. That international path gives me a nuanced perspective on positioning, especially for candidates navigating cross-border applications or non-traditional backgrounds. I’ve been through the MBB recruiting process successfully and understand what actually moves the needle, clear structuring, strong communication under pressure, and authentic leadership stories. At Booth, I served as a Career Adviser and Admissions Ambassador, mentoring applicants and students through essays, interviews, and career decisions. I’ve reviewed dozens of applications and coached candidates targeting top U.S. MBA programs and consulting roles. My style is direct and structured. I’ll give you honest feedback, tighten your story, and help you build clarity and confidence quickly. Whether we’re refining your MBA narrative or sharpening your case performance, the goal is simple: help you stand out for the right reasons. If you’re serious about top programs or MBB, I’m happy to work with you.

About Arush

I’m a Chicago Booth MBA and current consultant at BCG in Houston, where I work across Climate & Sustainability, Private Equity, and Operations. Before business school, I built my career in engineering and decarbonization roles across US and Australia before transitioning into strategy in the U.S. That international, cross-functional path gives me a practical perspective on positioning complex backgrounds for top MBA programs and MBB recruiting. At Booth, I served as a Career Adviser and Admissions Ambassador, mentoring applicants and students on essays, interviews, and consulting recruiting. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, from both sides of the table. I specialize in helping candidates with international profiles, technical backgrounds, or non-traditional stories craft sharp, differentiated narratives. For consulting candidates, I focus on structured thinking, clear communication, and executive presence. My coaching style is direct, structured, and honest. I’ll push you where needed, refine your thinking, and help you present a compelling, confident version of yourself.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I’ve benefited from strong mentors at critical inflection points, during my MBA applications and throughout MBB recruiting. Clear, candid feedback made the difference for me, and I want to provide that same clarity to others. Breaking into top MBA programs and consulting firms isn’t just about credentials. It’s about positioning, structure, and storytelling under pressure. Many strong candidates undersell themselves or struggle to translate technical or international experiences into impact-driven narratives. I enjoy helping candidates bridge that gap. There’s real satisfaction in watching someone go from “I think I’m ready” to actually performing at the level required to get in. If you’re serious about improving, I’m happy to work with you.
