MBA Mock Interviews & Strategy | Dual HBS + GSB Admit
I recently navigated the full admissions cycle, securing dual acceptances to both Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB. Because I just finished going through the comprehensive interview loops for both programs, the experience is incredibly fresh. I know exactly how these specific admissions committees evaluate candidates right now, and I’m here to give you real-time insight into what to expect. My background spans elite consumer product management, startup leadership, and interview training. I've scaled features for billions of users at Meta and Walmart eCommerce, built cross-functional teams as Head of Mobile at Kickstarter, and launched early-stage ventures. Having designed interview guides and evaluated hundreds of candidates from both sides of the hiring table, I specialize in teaching applicants how to command an interview room and package their impact effectively. 🚀 The Tech Leader Trying to Standardize Massive Impact You build incredible software, scale features, or manage engineering pipelines but you aren't sure how to translate complex technical metrics into the high-signal leadership narratives that business school adcoms actually prioritize. I help you pull out the human story behind the code. 🎒 The Non-Traditional Candidate with a Winding Path Whether your transcript has a few bumps, you took an unconventional route to finish college, or your career hasn't been a straight corporate line, you're likely worried your background is a liability. It isn't. We will reframe your unique trajectory to make it your absolute biggest competitive asset. 💼 The Leader Who Forgets to Highlight Their Scale You’ve driven massive corporate metrics, stepped into rapid promotions, or launched early-stage projects, but you describe your wins like anyone else could have done them. I’m here to help you own your achievements, pinpoint your specific leverage, and communicate it with absolute confidence. My Approach: Think of our sessions as a mix of rigorous, real-time mock interviews and strategic narrative positioning. I am fully invested in your success, which means you can expect direct, constructive feedback, zero boilerplate advice, and a collaborative framework built around the exact strategies that unlocked admissions to the top two business schools on earth.
