About Esha

I'm a chemical engineer who ended up at Bain, but the through line is simpler than it sounds. I come from a family of engineers, studied chemical engineering at Cornell, and picked up a business minor on a hunch senior year. It clicked immediately, and a few internships later, it was clear I wanted to solve problems in business, not a lab. I landed at ZS Associates in healthcare consulting after graduation, a natural fit where being analytical was an asset and I could finally dive into the business world I'd become so drawn to. Four years in, I went to Wharton to explore whether healthcare was really my path or if I wanted something broader. I threw myself into trying new things, diving into the digital health space, attending retail club conferences and workshops, and doing a Chief of Staff internship at BioLite, a consumer energy company focused on social impact. Those experiences confirmed what I suspected: I wanted to be a generalist, keep exploring, and see where curiosity took me. So I recruited broadly for MBB, had final rounds at all three firms, and signed with Bain. I'm currently at Bain, where my work sits at the intersection of technology, go-to-market strategy, and private equity. I'm also active in recruiting as an interviewer and recruiting lead. Outside of work, I'm happiest outdoors. West Virginia will do that to you!
