About Oliver
Hi, I'm Oliver! I grew up in southern Sweden and moved to the U.S. to attend Harvard College. Recently, I completed my MBA at Harvard Business School and relocated back to NYC. Currently, I'm the founder and CEO of an AI startup targeting the real estate industry, so if you have any tips for how to build a unicorn please let me know! Before my MBA, I spent eight years in finance, working at a credit hedge fund and as an investment banker at Moelis & Company. Whether you're aiming to break into banking or considering applying to business school, I’d love to be your coach. At Moelis, I played a key role in analyst recruiting, handling everything from resume and cover letter reviews to first-round interviews, super days, and hiring decisions. As staffer to the first-year analyst class, I collaborated closely with management to assess performance. In short, I know what makes a great analyst and how they get hired. Having recently navigated the MBA application process myself, I can help you showcase your unique background and craft a compelling narrative for your application. I understand the stress of balancing work, securing recommendation letters, and pitching your life story in a few hundred words while preparing for the GMAT. While I can't take the GMAT for you, I can certainly reduce your stress by guiding you through the application process. I look forward to working together!
Why do I coach?
Coaching resonates deeply with me due to its crucial role in my own 'non-traditional' journey into finance and later, Harvard Business School. As a foreign student armed with a philosophy degree and lacking the typical finance internship or involvement in an investment club, my entry into the competitive world of investment banking was far from straightforward. Unlike my initial college application process, which I navigated without guidance, my experiences applying to banking positions and HBS were transformative, thanks to the mentors and coaches who demystified the complexities of finance and graduate admissions for me. These mentors were instrumental in preparing me for the rigorous recruitment processes and taught me how to leverage my unique background and articulate my value in an industry where I was an outlier. This profound transformation through effective coaching has given me a deep appreciation for the power of mentorship in overcoming challenges and achieving professional success. Now, as a coach myself, I am dedicated to offering the same level of support and insight, particularly to those who may also come from non-traditional backgrounds.
