Today, I am a Senior Associate in McKinsey's Middle East Office. Previously, I spent three years as a Business Analyst, then Senior Business Analyst at McKinsey's New York Office before leaving to do my Master's. I have extensively and successfully coached candidates from a variety of backgrounds (target and non-target schools, lateral hires). I know exactly what McKinsey recruiters are looking for in the earliest stages of the process (e.g., resume screening), how to excel in a case interview, and how to tell a great story for the Personal Experience Interview. All of these insights translate to other MBB, Big Four, and boutique consulting firms as well.

About Cian

2023 LELAND TOP COACH | INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS | I graduated from Columbia undergrad in 2019, then spent the next three years as a consultant at McKinsey in NYC. In 2022, I was named a Schwarzman Scholar and went to Tsinghua University in Beijing where I received my Master's in Global Affairs. I love working with folks from around the world (I've lived in five countries and will make it six in 2024). I am passionate about using basketball to connect with people across different cultures, finding the best restaurants in whichever city I am in, and inclusive, sustainable economic development. I'm super excited to support the next generation of leaders as they prepare for academic and professional careers that will create a positive impact in the world!

Why do I coach?

I love working with people who are motivated to improve their skills and position themselves to lead. Growing up, I was passionate about academic and professional achievement -- my parents played an important part inspiring me to launch myself into the echelons of universities and other institutions that influence the way our world works: from policy, to politics, to the economy, to innovation. But, I didn't have role models who had the familiarity with how these places worked (and how to break into them) that so many of my peers did. I want to level the playing field by sharing my institutional knowledge, skills, and passion with others looking to achieve at the highest levels.
