About Kevin
First Gen grad from Philadelphia, PA, raised through public schools and graduated with dual degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in finance and political science. As a humanities major, did a bit of a random walk across tech, labs and startups, and by surprise and luck, landed in McKinsey consulting, where I got to serve some of the coolest companies on interesting growth topics. Stayed actively engaged in recruiting for McKinsey, as well as mentoring circles for first-gen students. Now I live in entertainment/ food but remain passionate about coaching and mentoring.
Why do I coach?
I've been blessed to have amazing mentors whom walked me through the lows of college, career, and life. From helping a lost freshman navigate majors to learning how to case as a lost sophomore, from being super quiet in classrooms to overcoming imposter syndrome in C-suite conversations -- I've been fortunate to know what surrounding myself with good people that can give good tailored advice can do. I hope to pay that forward.
