Christian’s Management Consulting Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Associate Partner
100+ people coached for Management Consulting
◆ Former McKinsey Associate Partner and Final Round Interviewer who sat on Decision Committee and had direct responsibility for hiring decisions as recently as Q4 2025 ◆ Coached 100+ candidates from both target and non-target schools to successful outcomes at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and adjacent top-tier firms ◆ Personally received offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG ◆ Earned McKinsey’s top performance rating (top ~5% firmwide) for 5 consecutive years ◆ Managed, coached, and formally reviewed 150+ consultants, giving a firsthand view into what interviewers look for when identifying long-term, top-quartile performers Seven years ago, I built the interview toolkit that helped me earn offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Since then, I’ve refined that toolkit using my insider perspective as both a final-round interviewer, evaluator, and people leader -- continuously adding, pruning, and sharpening it into a highly targeted, repeatable system that works. Today, I systematically train candidates on this program, coaching them to think and communicate the way MBB interviewers expect: structured, concise, and decision-oriented. I work with candidates across the full recruiting spectrum, from high-leverage, last-mile prep for those nearing final rounds, to end-to-end interview partnerships covering casing, fit/PEI, resume positioning, and interviewer psychology. Clients frequently describe my feedback as direct and precise, but warm and supportive. I won’t sugarcoat readiness, and I won’t let vague thinking or unclear communication slide, but I’m deeply invested in each candidate’s success and fully bought into helping them perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re looking for interviewer-calibrated feedback, structured skill development, and coaching grounded in how MBB decisions are actually made, I’d be excited to partner with you.

About Christian
Since I first got into consulting in 2019, I discovered that one of the most fulfilling parts of my job wasn’t just solving hard problems... it was mentoring, coaching, and watching people break into the industry and grow into confident, high-performing colleagues and teammates. I've had a genuine love for coaching for as long as I can remember. I got an Education minor at Stanford and was a Teaching Assistant for several Master’s courses at Stanford. If I hadn’t gone into consulting, I probably would have been a high school math teacher. When I'm off the clock, I love playing golf, skiing, and hiking. I live in Salt Lake City and love spending time outdoors in the Mountain West with my wife. I’m also a dual Norwegian-American and speak Norwegian.
