Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

My approach is direct, practical, and highly individualized. We’ll start by identifying exactly where you are today and what is most likely to hold you back in the recruiting process. From there, we’ll build your preparation progressively—first establishing your story and core technical foundation, then moving into deal discussions, investment judgment, case studies, and realistic mock interviews. Having worked as a Private Equity Vice President, I focus on how investors actually evaluate candidates. I’ll challenge your thinking, pressure-test your answers, and give you specific feedback on what is working and what needs to change. The goal is not just to help you memorize interview answers. It’s to help you understand the material, think like an investor, and become a candidate who can confidently handle whatever comes up in the process.
