About Ben
Hi, I’m Ben. I help aspiring MBAs and consulting professionals feel confident and prepared for interviews and admissions. I’ve worked at BCG and in sales strategy at Salesforce, and I’m now a senior member of the corporate strategy team at SSA Marine, a Blackstone-owned portfolio company. Over the past several years, I’ve conducted hundreds of case prep interviews, coaching students at top programs like Kellogg and continuing with private clients. That experience gives me a clear sense of what admissions committees and consulting firms are looking for — and how to help candidates stand out. As a member of both MLT MBA Prep and Professional Development programs, I also enjoy supporting candidates from diverse and Latino/MLT recruiting pipelines, making sure preparation is practical, structured, and tailored to each individual. My goal is simple: help you think clearly, communicate confidently, and perform at your best.
