Drawing on 20 years of MBA admissions advisory experience and my work partnering with C-suite and executive leaders at corporate and private equity-backed companies to build their teams, I have a rare perspective on how elite institutions and senior decision-makers assess talent. Since 2006, I've advised 750+ clients across 45 countries, including professionals from PE/VC, tech, consulting, social impact, the arts, the military, and entrepreneurship. My work is rooted in the belief that the strongest candidates are not simply applying to business school. They are preparing for the next stage of leadership. Through Helium Coaching, I help clients articulate the experiences, judgment, values, and ambitions that distinguish them while building the clarity and confidence to pursue top-tier MBA programs and long-term executive or entrepreneurial careers.
