About Oliver

Hey there! I’m Oliver. If your goal is to break into the highly competitive world of private credit, you’ve landed in the right place. I’ve spent the last 12 years navigating the trenches of high-stakes finance, including a decade specifically dedicated to private credit, culminating in my role as a Principal at Sixth Street. Beyond my day-to-day deal experience, I have significant experience with the private credit interview process itself. I've been an important part of the hiring committee and have formally interviewed candidates for 10 years. For three of those years, I directly led the case study assessments. I know exactly what investment committees want to hear, the red flags they look out for, and how the actual scoring works behind closed doors. My Coaching Playbook: How We'll Tackle Your Goals I don't believe in generic, cookie-cutter advice. Here is the clear, step-by-step strategy we will use to get you offer-ready for top credit funds: The Resume & Deal Sheet Audit: We’ll start by tearing down your resume. We need to identify your "spikes"—the unique deal experiences that make you stand out—and ensure your bullet points highlight exactly what private credit screeners are looking for. Mastering Common (and Uncommon) Questions: Numbers only tell half the story. We will map out your professional background, ensuring you can tackle the most common behavioral and technical questions with ease. We'll also prep for the curveballs so you can articulate your overarching risk philosophy concisely. Crushing the Case Study: Since I ran the case study process for years, this is my bread and butter. We will simulate live pressure tests. We’ll run through LBO models, review mock credit memos, and drill deep into downside scenarios, yield protections, and recovery analysis. Mock Interviews & Iteration: Practice makes perfect. We will conduct full-length mock interviews that mirror the intensity of a real superday. You'll receive immediate, unfiltered feedback to refine your delivery before the real thing. Landing a seat at a top-tier private credit fund is a marathon, but you don't have to run it alone. Grab some time on my calendar, and let's start building your strategy!
