Douglas’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

Securing a role at a top-tier firm requires more than just intelligence; it requires a mastery of the "consulting lens." During my pre-MBA recruiting, I achieved a 100% interview and offer rate, securing invitations and subsequent offers from both McKinsey and Bain in San Francisco. This success wasn't accidental, it was the result of a rigorous, structured approach to case and behavioral interviews that I now use to help my clients stand out in the most competitive talent pools in the world. My coaching focuses on the two pillars of the consulting application: Technical Case Mastery and High-Impact Behavioral Storytelling. I move beyond generic frameworks to help you develop "day-one" intuition, teaching you how to structure complex problems with the nuance of a previous strategy associate at Google. For behavioral rounds, we will refine your experiences into compelling narratives that demonstrate leadership, grit, and the specific qualities BCG, Bain, and McKinsey recruiters are trained to look for. Whether you are a pre-MBA candidate or an experienced hire, I will provide the tactical feedback and strategic positioning necessary to turn an interview invite into a signed offer.

About Douglas

I believe that career success shouldn't be dictated by your personal background. Originally from Hawai'i, I grew up as a first-generation student in a household dedicated to public service; my mother worked in our local schools and my father was a firefighter. Growing up, the "corporate world" felt like a distant reality, and the path to places like Google or McKinsey wasn't even on my radar. In fact, when I got to Vanderbilt, where people talked about "banking," for weeks I assumed they meant becoming a local bank teller. I did not get it, but then I quickly learned. Whether you are a first-gen student trying to break into the industry or a seasoned professional aiming for the C-suite, I bring a perspective rooted in grit, structured strategy, and a genuine investment in you and your story. I know exactly what it feels like to be the "outsider" in the room, and I am here to ensure that you not only get into the room but lead the conversation once you’re there.

Why do I coach?

My journey from a small town in Hawai'i to top tiers of tech and consulting was made possible by the coaches and mentors who took a chance on me. They taught me the unspoken language of business and helped me translate my drive, interests, and love for people into a career strategy. Today, I am a coach because I want to pay that investment forward. I have a deep-seated love for people and a fascination with solving complex business problems, but my true passion lies in helping others bridge the gap between their current reality and their highest ambitions.
