Marcello’s Elite Private School Qualifications
I attended Phillips Academy Andover and was a Cum Laude graduate of the Class of 2016. At Andover, I was captain of the Boys' Swim Team, debated on the Model UN team, and served in student government. After Andover, I went to Yale for undergrad and after graduating have been working in NYC for the past three years. I am attending Stanford GSB to pursue my MBA in the fall. Whether you're aiming for top-tier schools or seeking to maximize your potential, I'm here to provide personalized support and insights. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

About Marcello
Born in London, grew up between Belgium / China / Italy, and been in the U.S. since I was 14. Started my career in venture capital focused on fintech, and then joined a portfolio company of ours as Chief of Staff to the CEO. I am a recent admit to Stanford GSB and HBS from R2 2025. I am just getting started on Leland - my approach is direct, transparent, and honest about what we can achieve together.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I seek to have a similar positive impact on others as my mentors have had on me.
