Break into PE with Ex-Bain Capital Investor | 14+ Years Experience
I’m an investor with 14 years of experience across private equity and hedge funds, including 4 years at Bain Capital and 10 years in long/short equity roles at Citadel, Millennium, Balyasny, and Verition. Throughout my career, I’ve mentored junior investors, supported hiring processes, and seen firsthand how top buy-side teams evaluate talent, giving me a clear understanding of what it takes to stand out in private equity and hedge fund recruiting. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and an A.B. from Harvard University. Having navigated the admissions process myself and served as an alumni interviewer, I provide insights and strategies to help candidates craft compelling applications to top programs. I’m passionate about helping candidates break into hedge funds, private equity, and elite MBA and undergraduate programs. Drawing on my experience and insider perspective, I help candidates understand the industry, position themselves effectively, and prepare for interviews and applications with confidence. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career or academic journey, I’d be glad to help you prepare, strategize, and stand out in highly competitive processes.
