About Lance
I'm originally born in Ghana and spent most of my years growing up in Central Ohio. Growing up, I was normal. Went to a public high school, and went to a regular state school. I always knew I wanted to do more, but was unsure how to get to my dream destinations.I came to this journey without a roadmap. As an immigrant who didn’t attend a target school and had no family in business or consulting, I had to learn how to navigate a world that wasn’t built for people like me. Through persistence and mentorship, I broke into places that once felt out of reach, from the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University and Dubai Business Associates to offers from McKinsey, BCG, EY-Parthenon, and BTS. Along the way, I also built ventures connecting Africa, Asia, and the U.S., and a venture fund to help support entrepreneurs at my university, proving that where you start doesn’t define where you can go. Today, I coach because I’ve lived the journey so many are on, trying to turn ambition into opportunity without the usual advantages. My goal is to make the path clearer, shorter, and more attainable for others who are ready to rise but just need someone who’s walked it before.
Why do I coach?
I am a product of mentorship. Coming from a non-target school, it was extremely challenging to try and crack into top industries like consulting, high finance, and tech. I hope to pass this on to others who find themselves in the same boat. When I started applying to top programs and consulting firms, I had no idea how the system worked. I didn’t know what a case interview was or how to craft a compelling story — I learned it all the hard way. But along that path, mentors and coaches changed my life. They taught me the unwritten rules and helped me see that my background wasn’t a weakness — it was my edge. That’s why I coach. I want to be for others what I once needed — a guide who understands what it’s like to come from a nontraditional background and still reach the top. My approach isn’t just about frameworks or interview prep. It’s about helping you own your story, build confidence, and compete at the highest level, because with the right guidance, you can absolutely get there. Lean on me, and let's get you an offer!
