David’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Consultant

David has helped clients get into these companies:

Ex-LEK interviewer turned healthcare VC and operator. I studied English, broke into consulting without a technical degree, and went on to advise PE firms on M&A, invest at a $1B+ healthcare VC fund, and lead corporate development at a $6B health system. I’ve helped candidates land roles at MBB, top VCs, and strategy teams across tech and healthcare. During COVID, built The Case Guide (5K+ users) to make interview prep more accessible — still happy to walk you through a few.

About David

I’m a former interviewer at L.E.K. Consulting and now help nontraditional candidates break into consulting and strategy roles. I studied English at Stanford and later worked in healthcare venture capital and corporate development at a $6B health system. See relevant experience below: • Former L.E.K. Interviewer | Advised on M&A and private equity diligence across healthcare and tech • Venture & Operator Experience | Invested at a $1B+ healthcare VC fund and led corp. dev at a $6B provider system • Education | Stanford University (B.A.H. in English) • Interests | Running with my dog (Ryo), Formula One, LA sports, angel & real estate investing

Why do I coach?

I coach because I’ve been where a lot of nontraditional candidates start — unsure how to tell my story, and not sure I belonged in the room. I studied English, had little finance experience, and landed my consulting offer by learning how to frame what I did bring. Since then, I’ve helped others do the same: refining resumes, prepping interviews, and navigating tough pivots into consulting, VC, and beyond. Whether you’re breaking in or figuring out what’s next, I’m here to help you get clear and get moving.
