About Christian Antonio
Hello! My name is Christian Urrutia and I am a recent MBA Graduate from Stanford's Graduate School of Business. I coach people to help them get into the MBA program of their dreams, with a special focus on nontraditional applicants and the LGBTQ+ community. Before business school, I founded and ran a nonprofit advocacy organization that worked to increase access to HIV prevention drugs called PrEP4All. I decided to go to business school to get a crash course in how to scale organizations so I can build more impact-oriented organizations in the future. In a few months, I'll be starting as a Consultant at Bain's San Francisco Office. Outside of work, I'm passionate about politics, snowboarding, and my dog, Patch.
Why do I coach?
When I decided to apply to business school, nobody in my immediate network had attended business school, and I did not know where to start. I felt like every application was a guessing game and I was never sure whether what I was doing was right. Now that I'm on the other side, I realize how much I would have benefitted from having someone helping me through the process, especially translating my unique experiences in a nontraditional background into a stellar MBA application. I want to help my clients stand out from the crowd and relieve some of the guessing that comes with the MBA admissions process so that ultimately, they can get into their dream programs.
