Zack’s Private Equity Qualifications

Experience level: Senior Associate

10+ people coached for Private Equity

I worked at two generalist private equity firms focused on control investing in the middle market. I was able to successfully navigate the rigorous onboarding process each firm had - including a challenging case study under a time limit. During my experience in private equity, I was given the opportunity to invest in both domestic and international companies (US, UK, Romania) and had an average deal size of $100M. I enjoy helping clients navigate the PE recruiting cycle and strengthen their investment approach, technical capabilities, and nail their PE interviews. After my time in private equity, I was fortunate to attend HBS and can help clients differentiate if they are coming from a traditional background.

About Zack

Welcome to my coaching profile! I have had a broad set of experiences across investment banking, private equity, corporate finance, and strategy within both F500 and growth-stage firms. I graduated with my MBA from Harvard Business School and was accepted at all the MBA programs where I applied (HBS, Wharton, Booth). Currently, I am the CFO at Leland and cover the whole finance realm, including M&A.
