About Joe
Most MBA applicants don’t get rejected because they lack experience, they get rejected because they don’t know how to position it. I specialize in helping strong candidates who don’t have “perfect” profiles, especially consultants outside MBB or applicants who feel they don’t stand out on paper, craft a differentiated story that resonates with admissions committees. My own path wasn’t conventional. I went to Temple University and worked in consulting outside of MBB, and when I first applied to business school, I didn’t receive a single interview. After reworking how I positioned my experience, I earned multiple admits with scholarships and ultimately attended Harvard Business School. That experience shapes how I coach today. I focus on helping you understand how admissions committees actually evaluate candidates, and how to present your story in a way that stands out, even in a highly competitive pool. If you feel like your profile is strong but not “obvious,” or you’re not sure how to differentiate yourself, that’s exactly where I can help.
Why do I coach?
I believe in helping people get the outcomes they want. HBS was such a meaningful experience for me and I want to help others get the same.
