Joined June 2024

I did my MBA at INSEAD and I interviewed candidates for INSEAD.

Many candidates applying to INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford and Cambridge are doing so with one clear goal: to move into consulting. Yet that is also where many applications quietly become generic. Admissions committees have read thousands of versions of: “I want to transition into strategy consulting.” They can tell very quickly whether you genuinely understand the career you are describing, whether the goal makes sense given your background, and whether your story is credible. I bring a perspective that most admissions coaches cannot. As a Bain manager and interviewer, I spent years evaluating candidates and deciding who was ready to join the firm. Today, as an INSEAD alumni interviewer, I sit on the admissions side of that same journey. That means I can help you with two things in particular. First, I can tell you how your career goal sounds to someone who has actually hired for that role — and help you make it specific, credible and commercially grounded. Second, I can prepare you for the school interview from the perspective of someone who actually conducts these interviews. Around that, we do the core admissions work properly: building the right school shortlist, sharpening your CV, developing essays that tell one coherent story rather than five disconnected ones, and giving you an honest assessment of where you stand before you spend weeks writing applications.
