About Mari
Hi! I'm an ex-BCG consultant + Harvard grad and I teach the #1 skill that will get you 90% of the way to your dream consulting career: thinking quickly and fluidly in frameworks. I coach my mentees/clients on how to break down any problem and communicate through frameworks in a way that builds trust and earns respect -- with your interviewer, your manager, or anyone else you hope to win over. I spent 3+ years as a consultant at BCG in NYC (and also received cross offers from McKinsey & Bain) where I worked on growth strategy & PE due diligences in the Consumer space. Before that, as an undergrad at Harvard, I majored/concentrated in Philosophy, which meant that I had the luxury of literally studying how to reason and communicate from first principles!
Why do I coach?
I loved the work I was able to do as a consultant, and I always received the feedback that my unique strength is an ability to create an air-tight framework from scratch and reason through almost any problem. I'd love to help you do just that, whether it's casing for upcoming interviews, sharpening your personal story for admission to an academic program, or helping you achieve a different goal. Let's chat to see how I can support!
