Experience level: Manager
Isabela has helped clients get into these companies:
With a background in strategy/management consulting, as well as in international organizations and finance, I provide career coaching for your professional development based on my personal experience. I spent four years at Bain & Company, where I advised clients across various industries on growth and operations, developing my skills in leadership and team management. My journey continued at Oxford, where I completed a MBA from Said Business School and a Master in Public Policy from the Blavatnik School of Government, then with impactful roles at The Global Fund and the United Nations Advisory Alliance, where I led cross-functional projects and strategic finance initiatives. Whether you're looking to pivot from private sector to public sector, are considering your options after a few years into consulting or after completing your Master's degree, or are interested in an international career and working abroad, let's connect to strategize the next chapter of your career and tactical steps for a successful transition! Previously, I provided interview preparation for MBB consulting firms, so am happy to run case interviews or share advice for individuals pursuing careers in consulting.

About Isabela
Colombian-American with a non-linear trajectory from Nashville to Dallas to Rome to Oxford to Geneva. Currently a Manager at the UN Advisory Alliance (UNAA) and based in Switzerland. Previously, I was part of the Global Fund CFO's Financial Accelerator, or internal strategy team within the Finance Division. Before, I worked as a Consultant at Bain in Texas, where my case experience was primarily in the Retail, TMT (Tech, Media, and Telecom), and Nonprofit sectors. Additionally, I consulted for the United Nations World Food Programme on UN Reform and Common Premises, and for the InterAmerican Development Bank on Gender Policies in Latin America. Proudly an alumna of the University of Oxford, where I completed a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at Said Business School and a Masters in Public Policy (MPP) at the Blavatnik School of Government. My undergraduate degree was from Vanderbilt University, where I completed a Bachelor's in Arts & Sciences, majoring in Economics and Romance Languages, with minors in World Politics and Corporate Strategy.
Why do I coach?
Mentorship and coaching significantly contributed to my educational and professional successes to date. Since I sought out and was fortunate to find many mentors and coaches along my own journey, now I want to help others in achieving milestones and navigating transitions in their education and careers to pave their individual path. These are immensely important processes, so I am here not only to share my advice but to be your sounding board. Also, I would like to especially support those interested in social impact, because coaching focused on degrees like MPAs, MPPs, etc., and for those working in international organizations or NGOs seems more limited.
