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.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I genuinely enjoy teaching and helping people get better at things that feel opaque at first - especially case interviews and MBA admissions. I’ve seen how much clearer and less stressful the process becomes once someone understands how to structure a case, tell their story, and show how they think. I’ve spent years practicing and teaching these skills through hundreds of case interviews and MBA prep sessions, and I like working with people to turn confusion into confidence. My goal in every session is for you to leave with sharper instincts, clearer structure, and a plan you can actually execute in your interviews.
