Earn your dream MBA with 27‑year‑old seasoned CFO & UChicago LSI Candidate
At 27, I’ve spent the past two years as a CFO: steering complex debt‑restructurings and liquidity workouts that (per Deloitte) most finance chiefs confront only after decades on the job. My mandates range from embedding ESG metrics into multibillion‑dollar energy projects—capabilities business schools now treat as core finance skills—to architecting a pre‑seed venture fund and turning those live deals into classroom case studies. That board‑level track record earned me the distinction of being the youngest ever invitee to apply to University of Chicago’s elite Leadership & Society Initiative, a fellowship reserved for senior executives planning their next chapter. In an admissions landscape where M7 acceptance rates sit in the low single digits, applicants who pair their story with a seasoned admissions coach gain a measurable edge. Poets & Quants notes that demand for such advisors has surged—and fees have topped $20k—because the ROI is statistically compelling. I translate my boardroom and classroom experience into a bespoke strategy: co‑crafting essays that foreground real leadership metrics, drilling interviews with CFO‑level rigor, and reverse‑engineering each school’s decision rubric so your authentic narrative becomes an admit letter.
