Xin’s Business Operations & Strategy Qualifications

Experience level: Vice President

Xin has helped clients get into these companies:

Business Operations and Strategy sounds like one thing. It's actually three: knowing how to think structurally, knowing how to operate inside complex organizations, and knowing how to make both visible to the people who decide your next move. I've worked across all three. At McKinsey, I was trained to break down ambiguous problems, build the business case, and communicate to senior stakeholders under pressure. At Ericsson, I rotated across business control, commercial strategy, and tactical management inside a 100,000-person global organization — which means I know what strategy looks like when it has to survive contact with reality. Now as VP of Global Business Control at a global SaaS company, I sit at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy at the executive level — and I see every day what separates the people who get pulled into high-stakes work from the ones who don't. Whether you're trying to break into BizOps or strategy for the first time, or you're already in the role and want to move faster — what I coach is the same: how to think like a strategist, how to operate with credibility inside complex organizations, and how to position yourself so that the right opportunities find you. BizOps and strategy roles reward people who can zoom out and zoom in at the same time. I'll help you build both.

About Xin

I spent years in strategy and operations across PE, M&A, and large-scale commercial transformations before breaking into McKinsey, earning the highest scores across every interview dimension. My interviewer called me afterward to say performances like mine were rare. That wasn't luck. It was a system built on first-principles thinking, not tricks. Before consulting, I worked at the intersection of commercial strategy and complex technical programs at a Fortune 500 company, giving me a depth of real business judgment that most coaches simply don't have. I hold dual master's degrees in Finance and IT Management from top European and Asian institutions, and I've lived and worked across multiple continents — so wherever you're applying from, I get the context.

Why do I coach?

Most case coaching teaches you tricks. I teach you how to think. Frameworks are easy to memorize, and interviewers can tell when that's all you've done. The candidates who get offers are the ones who think like consultants before they walk in the door: structuring ambiguity on the fly, pressure testing their own logic, and telling a personal story that actually lands. I specialize in two things most coaches underserve: PEI that feels real and case thinking that transfers to any problem you've never seen before. No canned frameworks. No "tips and tricks" that fall apart the moment an interviewer goes off script. Just structured, first principles reasoning that gets you the offer and serves you on the job. I work with candidates who are serious about leveling up, not looking for shortcuts. Whether you're struggling to make your PEI stories compelling, hitting a wall on case math, or blanking when a case goes somewhere unexpected, I'll help you build the muscle, not just the motions. If you want the coach who'll make you genuinely better, not just more rehearsed, let's talk.
