Gun’s Investment Banking Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Analyst

20+ people coached for Investment Banking

Welcome to my profile! I’m qualified to coach in investment banking because I’ve worked in the IB environment and understand exactly what banks look for, in interviews and on the job. I bring hands-on investment banking experience from firms such as Morgan Stanley and Société Générale, where I worked on live M&A and capital markets transactions, building financial models, valuations, and pitchbooks under real deal timelines. This exposure gives me a clear understanding of how banks assess technical ability, commercial judgment, and execution mindset, not just whether someone can answer technical questions. I’ve coached international candidates across undergraduate, master’s, and lateral-hire tracks targeting bulge bracket, elite boutique, and strong middle-market banks. My coaching focuses on structured technical mastery, practical financial modeling intuition, and crisp deal storytelling, combined with direct, honest feedback. No shortcuts, no memorized answers, just clear fundamentals, repetition where it matters, and interview readiness aligned with real IB expectations. If you’re serious about breaking into investment banking and want practical guidance from someone who’s been there, I’d be happy to help. Let's connect and strategize your path to success in investment banking!

About Gun

Global Strategy & Finance Mentor | Investor Relations Professional | Ex-Investment Banker, CVC and Strategy Consultant | 7+ Years International Experience I’m Gun Vardhan Gupta, a Strategy & Finance professional with over 7+ years of international experience across Western Europe (Germany, France, UK, Poland) and Asia (Singapore, India). My career has taken me through the worlds of investment banking, strategy consulting, corporate venture capital, and investor relations, giving me a unique perspective on how top firms think about talent, performance, and growth. 🚀 My Professional Journey I’ve had the opportunity to work with and advise some of the world’s most demanding organizations: 1. Investor Relations & Capital Markets (Adler Group, HomeToGo): Partnered with global investors, analysts, and advisors on refinancing, asset disposals, and quarterly reporting. Built board-level decks, financial models, earnings materials, and Q&A scripts for C-suite leadership. 2. Corporate Strategy & Venture Capital (RTL Bertelsmann Group, Citi, PwC): Supported M&A, market entry, and investment evaluations, delivering strategic insights directly to executive leadership teams. 3. Investment Banking (Société Générale, Morgan Stanley): Developed financial models, valuations, and pitchbooks for live M&A and capital markets transactions, learning first-hand what elite firms expect from candidates. 4. Early Career Foundations (Procter & Gamble, TCS): Built strong fundamentals in financial planning, digital transformation, and go-to-market strategy. 🎯 How I Help You I now combine my global corporate experience with ethical, transparent, and outcome-focused mentorship. Through GradBrew and 1-on-1 coaching, I’ve mentored 350+ students and young professionals, helping them with: 1. Higher-education planning (MiM, MBA, specialized masters) 2. CV & profile positioning for top firms 3. Interview and case study preparation 4. Career transitions across consulting, finance, and strategy I don’t believe in shortcuts or scripted advice. Every session is personalized, honest, and grounded in real hiring expectations, so you walk away with clarity, confidence, and a strong professional standard. If you’re looking for practical guidance from someone who’s been on both sides of the table, I’d be happy to work with you. I see each engagement not just as a coaching session, but as a chance to empower the next generation of talent with clarity, confidence, and the right standards of professionalism.

Why do I coach?

I coach because it gives me a deep sense of purpose to give back ethically. In my early days, I never had a coach or mentor to lean on. Every step of my higher education journey, from researching programs, writing essays, preparing application and visa documents, to finding international internships and landing roles in investment banking and consulting, I figured out entirely on my own, through hours of hard work and persistence. That experience taught me not just the mechanics of applications and recruiting, but also how admissions committees and recruiters really think. I now enjoy sharing those insights with others, in a structured and detailed way, so that my clients don’t have to navigate the process blindly like I once did. Every satisfied client reinforces my confidence and gives me genuine self-satisfaction. Coaching also allows me to grow with every engagement. I learn from each student’s story, their challenges, and achievements, while also staying close to evolving trends in education and careers. At my core, I am also a reformist. I strongly believe in raising the standards of this coaching industry by fighting against “quick fix” consultants and self-proclaimed experts who misguide students. For me, mentorship is about setting the right ethical standards and ensuring transparency, not ghostwriting or shortcuts. And yes, while the passive income from something I enjoy is welcome, the real reward is the combination of impact, ethics, and continuous growth. That is why I proudly call myself a coach and mentor, not just a friend or advisor.

Master in Management (MiM), Finance

2018 - 2021

I completed the flagship Master in Management (Grande École) at ESCP Business School, specializing in Finance and Business Strategy. ESCP’s unique multi-campus model allowed me to study in Paris, France, and Berlin, Germany, earning dual degrees — Master in Management – Grande École (France) and MSc in Management (Germany). During my mandatory gap year, I gained international exposure through internships at Société Générale CIB (Germany), Procter & Gamble (Germany), PwC Strategy& (Singapore), and Morgan Stanley (London). Beyond academics, I was actively engaged in leadership and student initiatives. I was elected Board Member of AGORA, ESCP’s student association across six campuses, served as Senior Ambassador for the MiM programme, and founded the BizTech Society to promote technology’s role in business. I also worked as a Consultant at 180 Degrees Consulting and participated as a Core Member of Start@Europe in Brussels, simulating EU parliamentary processes. These experiences complemented ESCP’s global ranking (#4 worldwide per FT) and its legacy as the world’s first business school (est. 1819, triple-crown accredited).
