About Claire
Hi! I was born in Beijing, grew up in Vancouver, and came to the U.S. for college, where I studied Business and Economics at Berkeley Haas. After a few years in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and technology private equity at The Carlyle Group, I’m now at Stanford GSB getting my MBA. I love helping people break into IB, PE, or business school -- and making the process a little less stressful (and a lot more strategic).
