About Zoe

Consulting interviews may appear like a performance or charade, which is what I honestly thought when I first went through my interviews at BCG. But through doing the job, I've since realized how much 1. case preparation mirrors the actual format and thinking of a real client engagement, and 2. case preparation can serve you in the rest of your life - helping you communicate clearly, prioritize effectively, and solve day-to-day problems with less friction. My goal is to make you think and communicate like a consultant, not just pass your interviews. If you can think about problems from first principles and communicate in a structured, prioritized way, you can drive towards solutions both in cases and in the rest of your life. When consulting interviews go from uncomfortable charade, to confident, natural, and rigorous execution, your interviewers will visualize you on their teams & fight for you to join, and you will be well set up for performance on the job. A bit about me: I'm a former Associate at Boston Consulting Group, where I worked on strategy and operational projects across industries including life science, consumer goods, software, and nonprofits. Before my time at BCG, I graduated from Princeton with a degree in Public and International Affairs and played tennis professionally. I'm currently based in Geneva, working as a freelance consultant. I'm also unusually immersed in the consulting world outside of work - my partner and many of my closest friends are consultants at firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. That means my perspective on the profession gets constantly pressure-tested in real conversations with people who are living it. What I teach is grounded in how consultants actually think and operate on the job. I'm passionate about distilling the knowledge and ways of working I gained through consulting and sharing them with candidates who are hungry to break in - and to carry those skills with them long after the interview is over.
