About Paulina
I took a leap of faith to leave a 12-year career in asset management, received offers to my top MBA programs - IESE, INSEAD, and Oxford Said - and successfully secured a consulting internship at BCG. Along the way, I’ve led impactful initiatives, from VP at Morgan Stanley to driving LGBTQ+ advocacy as the Chair of Morgan Stanley's London Pride & Ally Network and a First Year Director at IESE's Out for Business club. I know firsthand the challenges of career transitions and the power of strategic storytelling, networking, and authenticity to make it possible. As a Greek-American from Boston who built a life in London, I connect with diverse candidates and help them craft compelling narratives that set them apart. My approach is personal, results-driven, and focused on empowering others to achieve their goals. Whether you're targeting an MBA or breaking into consulting, I'll help you navigate the process with confidence and clarity.
