James’s Private Equity Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Vice President
60+ people coached for Private Equity
I bring a rare combination of private equity investing, portfolio operations, and M&A legal execution that equips me to coach future PE professionals with precision and insight. Before attending The Wharton School, I advised large-cap sponsors on acquisitions, carve-outs, and fund structures as an M&A attorney at Kirkland & Ellis and Paul Weiss. I then transitioned into investing and operations at GenNx360 Capital Partners, where I worked on new deals and drove value creation across healthcare and industrial portfolio companies. I led initiatives in procurement, growth strategy, and cross-portfolio synergies. I also gained transaction experience in Investment Banking at Guggenheim Securities and built a personal real estate portfolio valued at over $1M by age 26. Having sat on both the legal and investing sides, I know exactly what it takes to break into and thrive in private equity. Whether you aim to join the deal team or focus on portfolio operations, I can help you master the technical expertise and strategic perspective needed to succeed.

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.
