Why work with me? -I broke in without the perfect pedigree — I know how to help you do the same. -I accelerated fast inside Deloitte — and coach the habits that actually lead to promotions. -I’ve sat on both sides: candidate, coach, team lead, practice builder. -I understand how consulting firms really work — not just the recruiting step. -My coaching combines strategy, psychology, and systems thinking. When I applied to Deloitte, I didn’t match the traditional “consulting pedigree.” My GPA was below the cutoff, and on paper I shouldn’t have made it through the first screen — but I found a way in. Once inside the firm, I went from the lowest rating in my first year to becoming the fastest person in my cohort promoted into the post-MBA role, earning two promotions in two years. Along the way, I learned how to master case interviews, tell a clear and compelling story, build internal reputation, and deliver under pressure. More importantly, I learned how to navigate consulting as a real system: the unspoken rules around staffing, partner expectations, reputation loops, narrative management, and avoiding early-career traps. Those are the skills I now coach others to develop. At Deloitte, I helped launch and scale a new Strategy & Analytics practice, leading the first pilot and helping grow it into an eight-figure business. I worked across commercial strategy, government and public sector, AI and data strategy, and internal innovation roles. I was selected for Deloitte’s Graduate School Assistance Program (GSAP) and completed my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I coach two types of professionals: (1) Ambitious, nontraditional applicants People who may not have the perfect GPA, target school background, or conventional story — but who have real potential and want to break into consulting. I help you sharpen your narrative, build confidence, prep for case interviews, and design a strategy to stand out. (2) Early-career consultants who want to accelerate If you’re already in the firm and want to build influence, avoid early pitfalls, navigate unspoken rules, or prepare for promotion cycles, I can help you understand the “game behind the game” and build momentum in your career. My coaching style is personal, direct, and practical. I focus on what actually moves you forward — not generic advice. If you’re hungry, ambitious, and willing to put in the work, I’d love to help you get there.
