About Garrett
Hi! I help people build the skills, confidence, and narrative to achieve their professional goals. Specifically, I offer coaching for graduate school fellowships, management consulting, corporate strategy & bizops, and general career development. I spent 3 years as an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company, leading diverse workstreams for Fortune 500 and private equity clients across the media, technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrials sectors. I was deeply involved in recruiting, leading resume reviews and interviews for internship and full-time applicants and also spearheading recruiting efforts for the University of Georgia. As a Bain extern, I helped lead strategy and business development at AGBO, an independent film, TV, and gaming studio founded by the Russo Brothers. This fall, I'll pursue a Master's in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar. I've interviewed with and/or received offers from Bain, McKinsey, BCG, a16z, YouTube, Roblox, Netflix, Disney, Paramount, NBCUniversal, Live Nation, NFL, Stubhub, Deloitte, Bank of America, PwC, and several private equity firms. I graduated summa cum laude with highest honors from the University of Georgia and was on a full-ride merit scholarship awarded to <5% of applicants. On campus, I served as managing partner of a student-run VC and was president of the economics society. Outside of work, I enjoy running marathons and ultramarathons, attending music festivals, and reviewing local restaurants. All my links: linktr.ee/garrettwilliams
Why do I coach?
I've seen firsthand how so much of the world's information is exchanged peer-to-peer. Unfortunately, success in life can be significantly impacted by where you live and who you know. Growing up as a public school kid in the suburban Midwest, I didn't have access to these networks. I was fortunate to meet several mentors early in my college years who were instrumental in my personal and professional development. I'm now in a position to pay it forward and help support people who are following a similar path to what I pursued.
