David’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Case Team Leader

100+ people coached for Management Consulting

Hi! I’m David – a Harvard Business School graduate and former Bain & Company Consultant, Case Team Leader, and Manager ranked in the top 5% of my class as someone who “Frequently Exceeds Expectations.” I know what it takes to break into – and succeed at – the world’s top consulting firms. With over a decade of experience as a case interviewer since my first day at Bain and 200+ case interviews under my belt, I specialize in helping ambitious candidates land job offers at MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other top firms. I know how overwhelming recruiting can be – conflicting advice, unclear expectations, and high pressure to perform. That’s why I take a hands-on, highly personalized approach with every client to give them the edge they need to stand out. I’ve successfully coached dozens of candidates to land their dream jobs in consulting, and I’m confident I can help you do the same. Delivered through structured, high-impact sessions, my coaching will help you learn HOW to think like a consultant (not just "what" to think), structure your answers under pressure, and crack cases with clarity and confidence using a system grounded in real Bain methodology. And you’ll get real-time, actionable feedback every step of the way. Whether you're aiming for MBB or other top-tier firms, I'll give you the skills, confidence and clarity you need for a successful outcome: a job offer! Reach out with any questions or to book a free intro call - I'd love to help you crush this process.

About David

Hi! I’m David – a Harvard Business School graduate and former Bain & Company Consultant, Case Team Leader, and Manager ranked in the top 5% of my class as someone who “Frequently Exceeds Expectations.” I know what it takes to break into – and succeed at – the world’s top consulting firms. With over a decade of experience as a case interviewer since my first day at Bain and 200+ case interviews under my belt, I specialize in helping ambitious candidates land job offers at MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other top firms. I know how overwhelming recruiting can be – conflicting advice, unclear expectations, and high pressure to perform. I've been through it all myself, and I know what firms are looking for, so I take a hands-on, personalized approach to help you land your dream consulting offer. I’ll guide you through every step: from sharpening your resume and building a smart networking strategy to mastering the case interview, depending on where you need the most focus. Whether you're aiming for MBB or other top-tier firms, my coaching services are tailored to give you the edge you need for a successful outcome: a job offer.

Why do I coach?

I. Love. Coaching. I really do. I'm an older brother, both by blood and through the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, and I've been a mentor in many other ways my whole life. I've been blessed with incredibly patient, accomplished, and wise mentors myself, one of whom taught me to "lift as you climb," and being a mentor & coach is a privelege and a great joy in service of that mantra. I deeply enjoy the challenge, experience, and reward of helping someone rise to a challenge, unlock those "aha" moments, and ultimately fulfill their potential. In the realm of consulting interview prep, this means helping you grasp case-interview mechanics at a conceptual, first-principles level - in a way that resonates with your unique way of learning & absorbing information - and then translating that into successful problem-solving and case-cracking skills. I’ve successfully coached dozens of candidates to land offers at top firms, and I’m confident I can help you do the same. I'd be thrilled to help you unearth your own case-interview "aha" moments and play a part in your sucess story! Feel free to message me with questions or to book a free intro call.
