About Duncan
Currently working in Private Equity at Redbird Capital Partners, while pursuing my MBA at the Wharton School. Before Wharton, I spent 5 years at Goldman Sachs where I was most recently in the TMT team within Investment Banking in New York. At Goldman Sachs, I was a part of the recruiting teams in both Australia and New York, assessing candidates for internship and full-time roles. I have worked with hundreds of mentees in the past and have helped them land jobs across investment banking, private equity and MBA. I work on investment banking and private equity recruiting, MBA admissions, general career coaching, resume work, interview prep, and more. I would love to work with anyone who is passionate and excited to supercharge their professional journey - feel free to schedule an intro call to see if we are a good match to work together!
Why do I coach?
Investment banking recruiting is tough. It can be stressful, daunting and tough to navigate. As someone who has benefitted firsthand from seasoned mentors to help guide me through difficult challenges in both my own recruiting and professional journey, I am excited at the opportunity to give back and guide people through this journey. I believe deeply in tackling problems one step at a time, creating plans and executing over a period of time to land at the right outcome. I can't wait to get started with you.
