Charbel’s MBA Qualifications

10+ people coached for MBA

Charbel has helped clients get into these schools:

I am a current Harvard Business School MBA (Class of 2027) and incoming Citadel equity investor, and I know firsthand how hard the path to get here is. I was admitted to both HBS and Stanford GSB in Round 1 from a non-target undergraduate institution (American University of Beirut), which means I understand exactly how to craft a differentiated application when you are not coming from a brand-name feeder school. The story, the framing, and the narrative arc matter enormously, and I can help you find yours. Before HBS, I spent four years at BCG, becoming the youngest Project Leader in BCG Middle East history with three fast-track promotions, consistently ranking in the top 3% of my global cohort. I worked across healthcare and private equity, and was selected for the CEO's Office to define BCG's global GenAI strategy. I also founded my own investment holding company, achieving a 20% IRR on a real estate portfolio and a 24% IRR on a public markets fund. I can help you with MBA admissions strategy, including school selection, positioning, and essay narrative for M7 programs. I also coach on HBS and GSB applications specifically, as someone who got into both in Round 1. For those targeting consulting, I offer MBB recruiting and case interview prep as a former BCG Project Leader who has interviewed and promoted junior talent. And for those pursuing investing careers, I offer buy-side coaching as an incoming long/short equity investor at Citadel. Whether you are from a non-traditional background, an international applicant, or a consultant trying to stand out in a crowded pool, I have been exactly where you are.
