Hi — I’m Cristian Over the last 4 years I’ve coached ~400 candidates across 1,000+ sessions. My outcomes are tracked and published in an annual, name-sanitised report: 88% received ≥1 offer (and 63% for MBB-only targets). 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. Next steps: * Interview in ≤1 week: book a single session → you’ll leave with a full diagnostic, an estimated pass rate, and the top 3 fixes * Interview in >1 week: book the 5-session package → full upgrade across cases + PEI + your “spike” * Applying soon: book a CV/CL review 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.

About Cristian
I never planned to become a consultant. After graduating from Oxford, I had no clue which way to go. My girlfriend was applying for consulting, and I decided to give it a shot. I practised hard, got a few offers and chose McKinsey! But it turned out I hated the job. And by my second review, I was close to ‘Issues’, the last stop before being ‘encouraged' to leave. I sought mentorship and spent a great deal of time thinking about my path. I understood that I was not just a consultant but an agent of change within the Firm. With my mindset, my performance changed. I spent almost five years in McKinsey, with the last four consistently rated top quartile of performers in the region. I was fast-track promoted twice and worked across eight countries and nine industries. I had clients thank me for the impact I delivered. I spent time coaching junior colleagues and led McKinsey’s new joiners training multiple times. Summer of 2021, I left McKinsey. Following my instincts, I decided to write fiction, coach consulting candidates, and start a family. If you'd like to get to know each other, reach out for an introductory call! I’m happy to share some advice and talk about my experience.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I can see a clear impact in taking a candidate with a basic understanding of casing and helping them secure an offer with the firm of their dreams.
