PE Investor Helping Non-Traditional Candidates Break In & Win Offers
I help ambitious professionals break into private equity — and convert interviews into offers — across growth equity and buyout roles. My approach goes well beyond traditional interview coaching: I work as a dedicated external PE preparation partner, helping candidates diagnose why they are not converting, sharpen their investor narrative, master technicals, develop stronger investment judgment, prepare deal discussions and case studies, and perform under pressure in live recruiting processes. Preparation is highly personalized and can include firm-specific interview strategy, custom technical and behavioral flashcards, realistic mock interviews, detailed written feedback, and targeted remediation between rounds. I bring the perspective of an active investor and deal practitioner. I’m the Founder of Zeus Global, an independent private equity platform where I lead transactions from sourcing and underwriting through diligence, structuring, capital formation, and post-close value creation, with a focus on software and tech-enabled services. Previously, I led growth and middle-market investing at a $5B family office and held investment roles at LeapFrog Investments and the Africa Finance Corporation. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB. Having taken a non-traditional path into investing myself, I’m particularly effective with candidates moving from private credit, consulting, operating roles, engineering, or other adjacent backgrounds who need to translate strong experience into the judgment, technical fluency, and communication style expected of a private equity investor.
