Elea’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Associate Partner

Elea has helped clients get into these companies:

As a recent Associate Partner at McKinsey, I know how impactful a career in consulting can be. At the same time, I know how challenging and stressful it can be to navigate the interview process. Securing a top tier consulting offer takes more than nailing the case, it takes a thoughtful approach to landing the right messages that match what firms are looking for. During my time at McKinsey, I was actively involved in the recruiting process, including screening, interviewing, and making final offers to candidates for Intern, Business Analyst, and Associate roles. I know how consulting firms approach their hiring decisions and what it takes to distinguish yourself in a competitive field. As a graduate of HBS, I’ve also experienced the recruitment process from the applicant’s perspective and can offer practical strategies to successfully land an offer. I’m excited to help you as you start your consulting career!

About Elea

I am an engineer at heart and worked in medical devices for many years before getting my MBA at HBS. I had never taken a business class prior to business school, and went in knowing I wanted to build the business skills to balance my technical acumen. I joined McKinsey as a summer intern, and then rejoined full-time when I graduated. I worked on problems that were top of mind for CEOs and partnered with incredible people to drive sustainable impact.

Why do I coach?

I have been fortunate to have had great coaches and mentors over my career - from initial conversations with people that convinced me business school was the right fit, to people opening my aperture to the world of consulting, to many hours spent prepping to land the consulting job, and the great mentors that have developed me as a leader while in consulting. My hope is that I can return the favor to others who are embarking on these journeys and help you navigate the path ahead.
