10+ people coached for MBA

Kesan has helped clients get into these schools:

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School through HBS 2+2's deferred admission, alongside acceptance into 3 other M7 schools (Columbia, UChicago, Northwestern), I bring a wealth of experience coupled by results. So far, I've informally coached a handful of undergraduates as they navigate the journey I went through not too long ago to help them secure their dream schools. I have a diverse background of experiences from top-tier firms like Deloitte and Ernst & Young, as well as prestigious programs like the Obama Foundation's Voyager Scholarship. My background in strategy, global community development, and economic consulting equips me with the insights needed to tailor your application for maximum impact. Let's work together to craft a compelling narrative that sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to an elite MBA program!

About Kesan

Kesan is a Deloitte analyst and HBS 2+2 admit who specializes in helping early-career candidates craft standout deferred MBA applications. Drawing from successful admits to Harvard, Columbia, Booth, and Kellogg’s deferred programs, he coaches clients on storytelling, positioning, and strategic career planning. Former clients of his have gone to receive acceptances into HBS, Columbia, MIT, and more. With a background in consulting, leadership development, and storytelling, Kesan brings a tactical, direct, and structured approach to helping applicants articulate their strengths and long-term goals. He focuses on helping clients develop clarity, confidence, and authenticity--especially those pursuing competitive deferred pathways or nontraditional trajectories.

Why do I coach?

I coach because my own journey has been shaped by people who poured into me: mentors, managers, professors, and friends who saw potential before I did. Every milestone I’ve reached has been a collective effort, not an individual achievement. Coaching is my way of paying that forward. I want to be the person in someone else’s corner, offering clarity, direction, and belief just like others did for me.
