Coaches professionally

Experience level: Principal

30+ people coached for Private Equity

Michael has helped clients get into these companies:

◆ I'm a Principal at Warburg Pincus, a top 10 global PE firm managing $100B+, and I'm the most senior finance professional coaching on Leland ◆ As an active hiring manager, I've personally interviewed hundreds of candidates and made the hiring decisions, so I know exactly what the person across the table is looking for ◆ I've coached dozens of clients who have landed offers at Blackstone, Warburg Pincus, General Atlantic, FTV Capital, among others. I've also helped many of these same clients get into HBS, Stanford GSB, and Wharton ◆ I have 15+ years experience in finance: Blackstone M&A, then a decade at Warburg Pincus, with an MBA from HBS and a finance degree from Wharton ◆ I wrote the "Comprehensive Finance Interview Guide" over a decade ago while prepping for my own PE recruiting, and I've been refining my system ever since ◆ I work with candidates at every stage, including resume help, mock interviews, or a full multi-month partnership covering networking, resume, story, technicals, and modeling tests
