James’s Investment Banking Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Associate
20+ people coached for Investment Banking
James has helped clients get into these companies:
I’ve sat on every side of the deal: M&A Lawyer, Investment Banker, Private Equity Operator - and I’ll help you stand out and win offers fast. Before Wharton, I spent four years as an M&A attorney at Kirkland & Ellis and Paul, Weiss, advising private-equity sponsors on acquisitions, carve-outs, and complex financings. I then transitioned to the investing side, working in investment banking at Guggenheim Securities (Healthcare Services) and now in private equity at GenNx360 Capital Partners, where I partner directly with management teams to drive value creation. Across these roles I’ve interviewed, mentored, and successfully guided 10+ candidates through competitive investment banking recruiting, from networking strategy and technical prep to final-round interview coaching. I combine real transaction experience with a step-by-step approach so clients gain both the skills and the confidence to land offers at leading banks.

About James
I’m James, and I’ve navigated careers in law, private equity, and now my MBA at Wharton. I know what it feels like to chase big goals, face uncertainty, and build something meaningful from the ground up. Outside of work, I’ve traveled to almost 50 countries and love connecting with new people and ideas. Coaching for me is about making your journey easier, clearer, and more rewarding.
