About Gautam

Hi! I’m a Stanford GSB MBA, former undergraduate admissions committee member, and a sports & entertainment investor and operator with experience across strategy, venture capital, and corporate development at organizations including the NBA and Nike. I work with nontraditional candidates, from undergraduates and MBA students to experienced professionals, who want to break into top MBA programs or transition into competitive, referral-driven industries like sports and entertainment without a conventional background in consulting, banking, or tech. I’ve been on both sides of the table. I understand how applications and candidates are actually evaluated, where nontraditional profiles lose signal, and how to translate unconventional experience into a narrative that recruiters respect. Looking forward to working with you!
