◆ 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 in both PE and IB, 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 Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Evercore, PJT, Lazard, among others. I've also helped many of these same clients get PE offers and get into top 3 business schools ◆ 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 IB/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
