Thoba has helped clients get into these schools:
I've successfully coached candidates to get into Harvard Business School and Columbia Business School. If you're a career-switcher worried about weaving together a cohesive story; an international applicant worried about coaching your recommendations or a general applicant concerned about overall strategy including recommendations, essays and resumes, I'd love to help! I am a South African HBS alumni who has experience in translating a global career in strategy consulting, social enterprise and investing to Top-Tier US MBA Admissions Committees. During my MBA application process, I was admitted to Harvard, Wharton and Columbia with substantial financing packages and fellowships and can provide tips on these specific schools applications and interview processes. Beyond the general MBA admissions process, I specialize in preparing for alumni-based interviews and getting the most of your post-interview write up based on my experience as a Regional Chair of the Penn Admissions Interview Committee. I also served as a Career Coach at Harvard Business School's Career and Professional Development Services Offfice and can offer advice on MBA resume preparation. I'd love to connect and help you maximize the controllables of what can be a stressful and overwhelming process by providing you specific advice and strategic options that help you show your best-self to the schools you care about.

Why do I coach?
Everything I've achieved in my life thus far has been through the guidance of coaches, advocates and mentors that have helped me see around the corners I have yet to encounter. I coach to help others that may not have had the same access as I did and to honor those coaches that helped me.
