David’s Management Consulting Qualifications
Experience level: Analyst
60+ people coached for Management Consulting
David has helped clients get into these companies:
After interning at McKinsey & Company as a sophomore, I spent my last two years in college—and beyond—helping dozens of students land offers at MBB firms. I love coaching aspiring consultants not just on how to crack the case and craft a standout application, but also on how to determine if consulting is the right fit, how to play to their strengths, and how to tell their story in a way that resonates. I spent two years at McKinsey advising Fortune 500 executives, public figures, and non-profit leaders on 9-figure transformations, earning top ratings along the way. After having my third child, I transitioned to a corporate strategy role where I continue to work closely with C-suite leaders on high-impact initiatives affecting thousands of employees. Where I Can Help: - Balancing a consulting career with starting a family - Mastering case interviews and behavioral questions - Perfecting your resume and application - Understanding the consulting-to-MBA career track - Deciding if consulting is the right path for you If you're looking for guidance on breaking into MBB—or figuring out if it's the right fit for your long-term goals—I'd love to help. Let's get started!

About David
Finance @ BYU > McKinsey > Corporate Strategy > Harvard MBA From Toronto, Canada, now living in Cleveland, OH with my wife and three young children. I am passionate about helping people tell their stories in a compelling way, particularly to get into the consulting companies and MBA programs they aspire to.
Why do I coach?
Management Consulting and MBA applications are all about paying it forward. I was fortunate to have many great mentors that helped me to land my first internship at McKinsey after my Sophomore year. That drove me to work with 150+ students applying to McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Having just recently completed my MBA application process, getting into my 3 dream schools, I feel the same desire to expand my efforts and pay-it-forward.
