Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
My approach is collaborative, candid, and highly structured. Before we meet, I review your questionnaire and résumé so that our time is spent identifying the patterns, motivations, and experiences that make your story distinctive, not simply recapping your background. During the session, I will ask direct questions, challenge unclear assumptions, and pressure-test your career goals, “Why MBA?” rationale, and overall positioning. We will work together to turn scattered experiences into a coherent narrative that feels authentic, credible, and memorable. You will leave with clear decisions and practical next steps, not just general feedback. My goal is to help you understand your own story more clearly and build a strong strategic foundation for your essays, résumé, recommendations, and interviews.

Stanford GSB MBA Helping Applicants Win Admission to Top MBA Programs
I am the Founder and Managing Partner of Zeus Global, a private equity firm focused on technology. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB and previously worked at Schlumberger, GE, ExxonMobil, Africa Finance Corporation, and Leapfrog Investments. These experiences shaped a non-traditional path into investing and entrepreneurship. As an MBA coach, I help candidates tell powerful, authentic stories. I’ve advised applicants from diverse and global backgrounds on how to craft standout essays, sharpen their career vision, and prepare for high-stakes interviews. I’ve lived the process myself, navigating self-doubt, refining my narrative, and ultimately earning admission to my dream school. Whether you’re pivoting careers, coming from an unconventional background, or aiming for a top-tier MBA, I will help you apply with clarity and confidence. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!
