Top-rated MBA admissions coach with 10+yrs experience and over 80% success rate to M7 MBAs. I draw on my deep understanding of what admissions look for and what essay questions are truly asking for to help you create an authentic story and ambitious goals that stand out. I challenge you to discover your leadership voice by placing you in the "interview seat", so it feels like you are already talking to admissions. Together we create a design session where we think deeply about personal and professional moments that show who you are. This leads to your strongest application, higher interview invitation rates, and admissions. →I work with a small group of international/US candidates each round from diverse backgrounds (tech, entrepreneurs, consultants, family business) and personalities. I am available for my clients within short notice, to do so I lessen sales calls. When I review your profile I am committing to partner with you to maximize your profile. I will not oversell you, we chose each other." -> Best-practice Gen AI guidance and tools - try at getmba.ai . I have evolved my in-person coaching to also include guidance on using AI effectively. For clients who see Gen AI as a tool to aid in brainstorming and writing essays, I provide guidance gathered after testing several models to ensure strong output similar to what can be achieved with my coaching. I can provide prompting support, or, if you want easy-to-use professional MBA AI tool, try at getmba.ai -> Most clients do not have clear goal when we begin working together, but end with clear career direction - and some have started companies based on the ideas we formulated together. → Skip the free intro call. The quickest way to plan your application, assess your chances, discuss your goals, and determine your ideal package is to get deep and personal by booking a paid 2hr session then decide how much more coaching you want - according to my reviews, it's a worthwhile investment. -> My interests: Looking to work with candidates with unique AI based goals - in particular big ideas that are not yet clear or tangible. ->Additional review by former admissions officer included in Start-to-finish school packages ->Hourly purchases will be credited toward start-to-finish school packages* ->Optional access to insights that mimic hundreds of successful essays via AI writing tool ->I apply my superpower as an innovator and storyteller to walk clients through a framework that helps connect the dots of past experiences and future aspirations. We get to your “aha” moment and get you excited (and less anxious) about your own fantastic and bold story - this in turn elevates your competitiveness in MBA applications and interviews. ->My expertise has been featured in Poets&Quants. ->I have advised professionals across 20 countries in complex industries including tech, finance, consulting, government, healthcare, biotech, entrepreneurship, renewable energy, military, and telco. Experience spans product management, strategy, operations, analytics, finance, sales, engineering and manufacturing. Areas of less expertise: Brand management, marketing, HR. ->Experienced with top 17 MBAs worldwide: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Booth, Columbia, Tuck, Haas, Yale, NYU, UCLA, Ross, Duke, Fuqua, London Business School, Insead ->Personality traits: I recognize that applying to competitive MBAs is a serious process for you on top of a competitive full time job. I inject my naturally open and humorous personality to make the process feel a little less like work. Nimble and grounded are other core strengths, I know when to guide to create urgency and when to give you room to explore your creativity. ->Experienced with MBA, EMBA, PT MBA, & deferred admissions. ->Experienced with dual degrees MBA/MPP(A) or MBA/MA product, design, engineering, education, biotech. **See My Reactions Video to Burning MBA applicant questions **Poets&Quants Article: https://poetsandquants.com/2024/08/07/tips-to-nail-new-harvard-mba-essays/?pq-category=sbc&pq-category-2=sponsored-blogs *Note: Only initial up to 3 hour purchases will be credited toward start-to-finish school packages as this is designed to allow you to experience our partnership before deciding on upgrading to a plan.

About Yvette

Hello, I am an empathetic & straightforward MBA admissions coach with 10+ years coaching amazing MBA M7 admits. Looking to work with candidates with unique AI based goals - in particular big ideas that are not yet clear or tangible. I am a first-generation college grad. I was admitted to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg and Tuck from a non feeder undergrad and varied professional experience (I did not apply to Stanford because I sought more structure). Harvard's SVMP is where I first experienced the MBA classroom. When I got serious about my journey, I secured a coach then got creative. I coordinated events with admissions officers at 25 of the top MBA programs in the US to get to know them intimately. Today, I maintain an extensive network of MBAs worldwide (US M7 + INSEAD, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge) and am a part of the MLT network, keeping my finger on the pulse of current MBA students' and alumni experiences. I have worked with Stacy Blackman, a premier MBA admissions firm, since 2014, collaborating with admissions officers who recommend me. Born in Los Angeles, I have consistently challenged global norms. My childhood in Mexico City and European travels broadened my worldview, making the globe seem more accessible. These experiences sparked my passion for mentoring and collaborating with people worldwide. My pre-MBA career included positions at prestigious corporations such as Deloitte Consulting, Fannie Mae, and UBS Investment Bank in NYC. After graduating from HBS, I moved to Dubai, where I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey. There, I co-founded a real estate services company (acquired), collaborated with a sovereign wealth fund, and launched the 'Grubhub' of the Middle East. Currently based in San Francisco, I am engaged as an Independent Technology Executive implementing AI/automation, which provides continuous real-world exposure that allows me to help clients formulate their goals.

Why do I coach?

I’ve seen how coaching changes people’s lives—and I’m fully committed to the people I work with. Their drive inspires me. For me, MBA admissions coaching is about guiding people through transformative personal and professional reflection and retelling. It’s a deeper, more personal kind of work than managing a product launch. During app season, I carve out time to work with a select group of applicants across industries and geographies. Many become long-term coaching clients and friends.
