Luke’s Private Equity Qualifications
Experience level: Intern
I successfully broke into private equity from a non-target school, where I learned firsthand that the traditional recruiting funnel doesn't work for everyone. I’ve navigated the process and can help you build your own playbook for breaking in, just as I did. My biggest value-add is helping you master the networking strategy that will get you in front of more decision-makers. We'll focus on targeted outreach and crafting messages that actually get responses. While I can cover the foundational technical concepts and conduct mock behavioral interviews, my primary focus is on empowering you to build a network and a resume that will be your greatest asset. I've successfully helped several others break into this competitive industry. I'm here to guide you through the critical early stages of networking and resume prep and am flexible on however I can support you throughout the rest of your job search.

About Luke
Hi I'm Luke. Coming from a non-target school, I successfully networked my way into highly competitive internships in private equity, investment banking, and angel investing. I quickly realized my interests were more in the venture and early-stage startup world, which led me to my current role at a high-growth company. Having networked my way into every position I've held, I'm passionate about helping others develop their own career playbook. I've guided dozens of students and young professionals in enhancing their networking strategy, exploring diverse career paths, and ultimately landing top roles.
Why do I coach?
I attribute every success in my career to the support of others. I was fortunate enough to have strong mentors who taught me the importance of networking, a skill that led to every role I've ever had. But beyond just getting a job, networking is how I've been able to learn, develop, and explore my curiosity. I've always enjoyed helping those alongside and below me, so we can all grow together. I coach because others have contributed to my success, and for that, I am truly grateful. I see the potential in everyone. My goal is to be a sounding board, help you find and navigate your next career move, and show you that you can break into these competitive fields, no matter where you're starting from.
