Ready to break into consulting, or level up once you are in? Let's get you there. With over 15 years of experience across the consulting and engineering sectors, I bring a wealth of practical, real-world knowledge to my coaching practice. Having held principal-level positions at a top-tier consulting firm, I have conducted hundreds of case interviews and led the recruitment team, giving me deep insight into exactly what these firms look for in candidates. My MBA from INSEAD, where I was actively involved in the admissions committee, further sharpens my ability to guide aspiring consultants through every stage of the process. Having coached over 100 individuals, I specialise in case interview preparation, resume refinement, and overall application strategy. Fast, focused preparation for those short on time I know most candidates are juggling demanding jobs alongside their interview preparation. My sessions are built to get you up to speed quickly, working through real cases efficiently and giving you sharp, honest feedback you can act on immediately. If you are time-constrained and need to make every session count, this is where I can help most. Specialist support for experienced hires I made the experienced-hire transition into consulting myself, so I understand the specific challenges that come with it: how to reframe an industry background, what firms expect from senior candidates, and how the process differs from campus recruitment. I offer targeted preparation and guidance for experienced professionals moving into consulting, drawing directly on my own journey. Guidance for those already inside consulting Coaching does not stop at the offer. I also work with people who are already in consulting and finding it tough, whether that is navigating the steep learning curve, managing performance expectations, or working out how to progress. If you are struggling inside a firm and want a candid sounding board from someone who has been through it, I can help. Let's work together to craft a compelling application, sharpen your interview performance, or navigate your path through consulting. Reach out to book an intro call to get started
