Luis’s Management Consulting Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
I landed three consulting internships during undergrad (Pointe Advisory, BCE Consulting, and Analysis Group) and converted that experience into a full-time Associate offer at BCG Boston. I did this coming from Colby College, a small liberal arts school with no formal consulting recruiting pipeline, and from Panama, where I had no connections to the industry. Every step of the process, from networking to casing to navigating boutique vs. MBB dynamics, I had to learn by doing. I also led Colby's consulting club for two years. I rebuilt the prep structure, ran mock cases, and worked with members one-on-one through networking and applications. During that time, we placed more students into tier-1 consulting firms than the previous five years combined. The coaching I do now is a direct continuation of that work: helping people who don't have a built-in path to consulting figure out how to create one.

About Luis
I'm Luis, an incoming Associate at BCG's Boston office. I grew up in Panama, left at 16 on a scholarship to boarding school in Connecticut, and went on to become the first Panamanian graduate of Colby College, where I double-majored in Economics and Neuroscience. During undergrad, I completed three consulting internships at Pointe Advisory, BCE Consulting, and Analysis Group, which gave me a ground-level understanding of what firms actually look for in candidates. I applied for deferred MBA admission to four programs, interviewed at all four, and was admitted to Harvard Business School, Wharton, and Columbia Business School. I'll be attending HBS after my time at BCG. I also built a Central America college admissions pipeline at Colby to help students from the region navigate the same process I went through. Coaching is a natural extension of that work.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I've seen firsthand how much of a difference the right guidance makes. When I was preparing for consulting recruiting, I had to figure most of it out on my own, with no one in my family or network who had been through the process. I got there, but it was harder than it needed to be. For my deferred MBA applications, I worked with a coach, and the difference was night and day. Having someone who knew the process, could pressure-test my narrative, and kept me focused on what actually mattered made me a sharper applicant. I interviewed at all four schools I applied to and was admitted to HBS, Wharton, and Columbia. That experience is exactly why I coach now. I know what it feels like to go at it alone, and I know how much faster you move with someone in your corner. I want to give my clients both: the tactical knowledge that comes from recent, real results, and the kind of honest, invested support that made the biggest difference for me.
