About Cristian

I spent ~5 years at McKinsey and was promoted twice, working across a wide range of industries and project types. A core part of my time at the firm was coaching and developing others, including leading the McKinsey new joiner training on several occasions. In the meantime, I’ve coached ~400 candidates across 1,400 sessions. My outcomes are tracked and published in an annual, name-sanitised report: In my approach, I do 3 things differently: 1. I coach first principles thinking. Because consulting interviewers want to see how you think, not hear memorised frameworks. 2. I overemphasise personal fit prep. Because most candidates ignore it and that gives my candidates an edge. 3. I identify and train for spikes. Because top consulting firms don’t want you to be ok at everything, but great at something. After every session, I provide a granular 1-page scorecard quantifying your probability of passing the interview, along with clear feedback and drills to improve. Schedule an intro call (optional) if you're unsure whether you need one session or a package. If you have interview dates, book a session directly.

Why do I coach?

I coach because talent is rarely the limiting factor - direction is. Most people work hard but spend too much time on low-leverage effort, especially when the process is messy and the feedback loop is weak. My coaching is designed to fix that: diagnose, prescribe a clear direction, and build a process you can execute under pressure. Last but not least, it's fun and humbling at the same time.
