Justin’s Business Operations & Strategy Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

Justin has helped clients get into these companies:

After two years at Bain & Company, I made a deliberate transition into a Business Operations and Strategy role at LinkedIn, one of the world's leading technology companies. I understand what it takes to translate a consulting background into a compelling case for tech, which roles actually make sense coming out of professional services, and what hiring managers at top tech companies are looking for in strategy and operations candidates. The move from consulting to tech is one that many people want to make but few have a clear roadmap for. I can help you understand the landscape, position your experience effectively, and walk into interviews with the confidence of someone who has already made the transition successfully.

About Justin

I am currently a Sales Strategy & Operations Associate at LinkedIn, where I support a $100M+ annual revenue business and advise senior leadership on strategic initiatives to shape our GTM strategy Prior to LinkedIn, I spent two years at Bain & Company as an Associate Consultant, where I was promoted to Senior Associate Consultant in my final month. At Bain I worked across private equity due diligence, operating model transformation, and organizational design engagements, advising C-suite stakeholders at companies ranging from $8B+ industrial manufacturers to global mining firms and non-profit education foundations. I coach on two areas I have navigated firsthand. The first is breaking into MBB consulting. I recruited successfully into Bain out of Indiana University Bloomington, a non-target school, and understand what it takes to compete against candidates from brand-name programs. This includes building a compelling story and performing in case interviews. The second is transitioning from consulting into a Business Operations or Strategy role in tech. I made that move deliberately after two years at Bain and can offer a practical, honest perspective on how to position a consulting background, which roles to target, and what to expect. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business with majors in Economic Consulting, Information Systems, and Business Analytics from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, graduating with a 3.91 GPA and highest honors.

Why do I coach?

Mentorship has been a constant throughout my life. I began volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters in high school, continued tutoring peers in accounting and Excel through college, and returned to Big Brothers Big Sisters as an adult. Helping people navigate challenges they find intimidating is something that genuinely energizes me. When it comes to coaching, my motivation is simple. I would not have landed any of the jobs I have had without people who were willing to share their time and experience with me. I want to pay that forward. I am particularly drawn to working with students from non-target schools who are trying to break into MBB consulting. I know what it feels like to go through that process without an obvious roadmap, and I know it is possible to come out the other side with an offer. If I can help someone craft their story, sharpen their resume, and walk into every interview and networking conversation with real confidence, that is exactly the kind of impact I am here to make.
