Expert MBA admissions coach for those with non-linear backgrounds
INSEAD MBA and Master of Finance (Queen's University) with a BA in Economics from McGill — I know exactly what it takes to build an application that stands out. I applied with a non-linear profile: a tech and data strategy background, based in Canada, targeting a full career pivot, a function change, a geography change, and a significant salary uplift — and I got everything I was aiming for. I prepared really hard: GMAT coaching, multiple essay drafts, and extensive interview preparation. I know what the process demands and what adcoms are actually looking for — especially if your story isn't straightforward. In the five years since graduating from INSEAD, I've coached several dozen prospective MBA candidates — from one-off clarity sessions through to 2-3 sessions per candidate of application support — helping them find their narrative, sharpen their essays, and walk into interviews with genuine confidence. My core strengths as an MBA admissions coach: -Helping candidates with non-linear or unconventional profiles build a compelling, coherent story -GMAT strategy and preparation guidance -Essay development — from blank page to final draft -Interview preparation and confidence-building -School selection and positioning strategy -Career goal articulation — short and long term -Navigating ambitious asks: career pivots, geo moves, salary jumps
