Questions?

You can start chatting with Brandon before you get started.

My path to consulting was not traditional. I started in construction and project management, earned my MBA from Cornell, and went on to work at Deloitte and BCG. At BCG, I also helped lead Cornell MBA recruiting and supported candidates through practice cases, recruiting events, and interview prep. Now I help others break into top consulting firms with practical, candid coaching from someone who has been through the process from both sides. If you’re targeting a top consulting firm, especially from a nontraditional background, I’d love to help you make the jump.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know how much the right guidance can change someone's trajectory. I have learned a lot through mentors, mistakes, and figuring things out the hard way. I want to shorten that learning curve for others. I have chased some big goals in my own life, and I know firsthand that hard work matters, but so does asking for help. I want my clients to dream big and put in the work to get there. I care about helping people see more in themselves, make better decisions, and feel like they have someone genuinely in their corner.
