About Fabio
I help ambitious candidates build stronger MBA applications for top European business schools, including IESE, London Business School, INSEAD and other leading programs. I hold an MBA from IESE Business School, where I served as President of the Marketing Club and collaborated closely with the Admissions team. For the past four years, I have also supported the IESE admissions process, giving me first-hand insight into what top European schools look for in candidates: leadership potential, international mindset, career clarity, personal fit, and a compelling story. Over the years, I have helped candidates secure admission to leading MBA programs, including cases where applicants also obtained scholarships. My coaching goes beyond editing essays. I work with you to clarify your positioning, sharpen your career narrative, choose the right schools, prepare for interviews, conducting mock interviews and present your profile in a way that feels both strategic and authentic. My background in marketing, business development, education, and international business allows me to bring a practical, structured approach to admissions coaching. As an adjunct professor and guest lecturer at institutions such as GBSB Global Business School and ESADE, I also understand how business schools evaluate communication, leadership and intellectual curiosity. Whether you are still exploring MBA options or already preparing applications, I can help you build a clear strategy and increase your chances of getting into the right program. Book a session if you want help turning your experience into a compelling MBA application for Europe’s top business schools.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I enjoy helping people at pivotal moments in their lives and careers. Applying to an MBA is one of those moments: it is not just about getting admitted, but about making the right long-term decision for your future. I have benefited from great mentors myself, and coaching feels like a natural way to pay that forward. I find the process incredibly rewarding because it is bidirectional: I bring structure, perspective, and admissions experience, but I also learn from every candidate I work with. What I value most is helping people gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction — and seeing that translate into real outcomes such as admissions, scholarships, and meaningful career moves.
