About Donaven

I’m a former McKinsey consultant and current Wharton MBA (Class of 2026) with experience across private equity due diligence, strategy, and technology-driven transformation. Over my career, I’ve worked on 20+ PE and growth engagements, partnering with investors and operators to make high-stakes decisions under tight timelines. I’ve navigated competitive recruiting processes across consulting, finance, and business school, and I know firsthand how opaque and stressful these paths can feel without the right guidance. Today, I work with ambitious students and early-career professionals who want clear strategy, honest feedback, and a structured plan to reach their goals-whether that’s top MBA programs, consulting, PE, or strategy roles. My coaching style is practical, direct, and outcome-oriented. I focus on helping clients sharpen their story, make better decisions faster, and compete with confidence in high-pressure environments.
