Vivek has helped clients get into these companies:
I’m a certified ACC Life and Performance Coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I spent years as an Associate Partner at McKinsey, helping clients with major strategy and operational transformations while navigating the pressures of ambition, burnout, and impact. I’ve also trained for Ironmans, run marathons, built intentional routines, and recently became a father—all of which deepened my understanding of what it means to grow on purpose. My coaching is grounded in three core beliefs: 1. Clarity unlocks energy — When you know your core values, you move with confidence and intention. 2. Systems sustain growth — We’ll build practical routines that support the life you want and work for you. 3. Meaning matters — Success feels best when it aligns with who you are and how you want to show up. If you’re ready to get clear on what matters, build momentum, and pursue a life that feels more intentional and alive—I’d be honored to coach you.

About Vivek
I’m a certified ACC Life and Performance Coach through the International Coaching Federation, and I bring a blend of high-performance experience and deep empathy to my coaching. I spent years working 60–70+ hour weeks as an Associate Partner at McKinsey, advising senior leaders across industries, and I know firsthand what it’s like to manage ambition, pressure, and personal growth all at once. I’m also an endurance athlete—I’ve completed an Ironman, run marathons, tackled HYROX—and love exploring the connection between physical and mental resilience. Over the past few years, I’ve worked on becoming a morning person, building a consistent meal prep routine, carving out space for daily reflection, and chasing a Boston Marathon qualifying time. I’m currently in the process of acquiring and preparing to operate a small business in partnership with a Private Equity group. I recently worked with my wife to define a set of family values that reflect what matters most to us and how we want to show up in the world. Most importantly, I’m a proud girl dad to a 6-month-old, an experience that’s brought more perspective, joy, and purpose than anything else.
Why do I coach?
I love working with people on building habits, finding resilience, setting goals, and creating systems that help life feel lighter and more intentional. I've been blessed to have a wonderful set of mentors and coaches as I pursued consulting, business school, raising a search fund, training for races, and becoming a dad. If you’re navigating a big decision, chasing a new milestone, or simply trying to level up your everyday life, I’d be honored to support you on the journey.
