Michael’s Investment Banking Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

Michael has helped clients get into these companies:

- Elite Placement Record: My mentees have landed offers at Centerview, Goldman Sachs, Qatalyst, Evercore, Moelis, Bank of America, and many others. I prepare you to clear the highest technical bars set by elite boutiques and top-tier bulge brackets. - Technical Authority: I leverage 4+ years of Cloud Strategy experience to teach you how to analyze data center infrastructure and software trends. You will learn to discuss tech thesis points with the depth of a refined sector analyst. - Structured Communication: As a former national debater, I train you to deliver concise, pyramid-structured answers. We focus on executive-level polish to ensure you sound "client-ready" from Day 1. - Insider Intelligence: My active network across top firms provides real-time intel on cultural nuances and interview formats. I prepare you for the specific questions your target bank is currently asking.

About Michael

I specialize in placing non-traditional candidates into elite technology investment banking roles. I pivoted from Civil Engineering and Cloud Strategy (Deloitte) to Centerview Partners by engineering a systematic approach to the recruitment process. As the Technical Lead for the Investment Banking Group at Chicago Booth, I lead interview preparation for hundreds of students annually. My coaching focuses on the advanced technical rigor and structured communication styles that senior bankers demand. I position backgrounds in Engineering, Product, and Consulting as premium assets for West Coast coverage groups.

Why do I coach?

Investment banking recruiting is a solvable system. I coach to provide the precise technical and networking frameworks required to enter top firms. My pivot from engineering proved that the right strategy works regardless of your background. I partner with you to navigate the process, build executive presence, and secure your offer.
