About David
I’m a former Bain Senior Manager with 4+ years of experience interviewing, hiring, and mentoring Associate Consultants, Consultants, and Managers. Before earning my MBA at Stanford, I worked in the medical device industry in deeply clinical, customer-facing roles. I moved into consulting to tackle high-level strategic problems for blue-chip clients, and have since returned to medtech to continue building my career in the space. I loved mentorship at Bain and now coach candidates with a practical, high-rep approach: crisp structure, strong synthesis, and direct feedback that translates to results. I’m excited to help you earn the offer you’re chasing.
Why do I coach?
Coaching is in my DNA: I come from a family of educators (my mom and sister are both teachers), and I’ve always been drawn to helping others learn and succeed. Before Bain, I spent two years leading sales training in the highly technical world of cardiovascular devices, and I loved taking new hires from “brand new” to confident, capable experts. At Bain, my favorite part of the job was coaching and developing my teams. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone level up, earn new responsibility, and get promoted, and I’m excited to bring that same energy to helping you reach your next milestone.
