Jiali has helped clients get into these schools:

MBA from Chicago Booth. I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and operations — leading GTM strategy at Yext, driving Rokt's $325M Series E to a ~$2B valuation, and running cross-functional strategy and ops as Chief of Staff at Flex. Currently heading up GTM Operations at TLDR Media, where I own revenue operations, pricing strategy, and commercial systems end-to-end. On the coaching side, I've placed candidates into Chicago Booth (5+, including two with scholarships), Harvard Business School, and Stanford GSB — and successfully guided one applicant from a Booth rejection to a Berkeley Haas acceptance. I spent 5 years on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, which gives me a direct lens into how top programs evaluate candidates. I was also co-chair of the Booth Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club and a TA for Commercializing Innovation and Lab to Launch. If you're targeting M7 or top MBA programs and want honest, specific guidance on positioning, essays, and fit — I've been on both sides of the table.
