Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Why you should work with me: ◆ I was part of Bain's interview team and know exactly what it takes to break into MBBs (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) ◆ In the summer/fall 2025 cycle for undergrad and MBA hiring, my candidates landed the following offers: Bain (10), McKinsey (7), BCG (4), LEK (3), Kearney (1) ◆ I've coached for over 1,600 hours, have the most sessions run of any Management Consulting coach on Leland, and have helped candidates land 150+ offers at MBBs and similar firms ◆ I've developed a comprehensive coaching system built on targeted learning/drills for every case element (includes take-home resources and in-session drills) – which is far more effective than only running full cases, both in terms of the time it takes for candidates to come up the learning cure and the level to which they perform ◆ I work with candidates at every stage of the process – for some it's ~1-3 cases to polish before a final round, whereas for many it's a ~2-4 month fully-comprehensive partnership that covers all elements (networking, resume, cover letter, applications, interview prep, etc.) ◆ I'm 100% bought in on my clients' success – I love this work and put just as much of my heart into the process as my candidates do (and sometimes more 😀) Clients often report that I'm the coach who says what other coaches are unwilling to say – whether that's providing a fully transparent assessment of where they're falling short, addressing a lack of confidence, or correcting a tendency to use language that's overly forced and formal. I address whatever needs to be addressed to give my candidates the best chance of landing their dream job. My style is direct, honest, and deeply supportive! And I love to laugh too.

I'm a seasoned consultant who secured offers from McKinsey, BCG, and an implementation firm, achieving a 100% offer rate. As an experienced hire, I attained the highest score during McKinsey's rigorous interview process. Notably, I broke into one of the firm's most homogeneous offices, where only 5% of consultants are foreigners, showcasing my ability to navigate and succeed in challenging environments.​ What I Offer: - Insider Expertise: Gain insights from someone who has excelled in the exact interviews you're preparing for.​ - Tailored Coaching: Customized sessions focusing on your unique background and strengths.​ - Strategic Preparation: Learn the frameworks and approaches that lead to success in top-tier consulting interviews.​ - Cultural Navigation: Advice on integrating and thriving in diverse or homogeneous office cultures.​ Whether you're an experienced professional aiming to transition into consulting or seeking to maximize your interview performance, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.​

Hello and welcome to my profile! I have a rather complicated route to where I got today, with a background in management consulting in a variety of subject matters, industries, and countries. For the last few years, I have been developing my skills at a specific (green) Big 4 Consultancy, working in both Washington, DC, and London. Over the years, I have honed in on my interests, passions, and skillsets, moving from audit to financial consulting to human capital consulting, and want to help you do the same! My journey began at PwC, where I developed a strong foundation in public sector consulting, before moving to my current company and trying out both private sector human capital consulting and working internally with our member firms around the world. Over the years, I've successfully coached multiple people in my company, assisting them to find roles internationally as I've done. I can't wait to help you work through the intricacies of the consulting application process, give you tips and tricks for networking, and be a general source of advice and wisdom as you navigate the crazy world of Big 4. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, resume refinement, or navigating the consulting landscape, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect!

I have coached 75+ to consulting offers and 50+ to MBB during my time as a mentor at Wharton's consulting club and in my time coaching outside of bschool. I have extensive experience working with applicants currently in school (including non-target) and experienced hires. Consulting recruiting can seem daunting, but it’s surprisingly formulaic. While it’s not easy, I’m here to help make the process easier (and hopefully more fun) and maximize your chances at an offer. While I am an MBB specialist, I also have experience with the interview process of every other large consulting firm and a handful of boutiques, so happy to help with whatever firms you're targeting. Feel free to ask questions or request any type of help, but these are usually the 3 areas I spend my time coaching: 1. Acing the case interview (strategy is generalizable across firms--areas of prep are case starts, frameworking, brainstorming, case math, case flow, recommendations, etc.). This is 75% of my consulting coaching and I've been coaching it for thousands of hours since 2020. 2. Impressing in the behavioral (very firm specific--McKinsey's PEI is the most infamous and I'm a specialist at this). On my McKinsey interviews, I got glowing praise for showing both emotional intelligence and strongly developed stories on my PEIs. 3. Landing an interview (networking, getting referrals, getting on the firm's radar). Whether you're an experienced hire or applying from school, this process is crucial.

My clients are fully prepared before their interviews by 10 authentic MBB interiew cases not available to public. They got direct interviewer feedback that they have the strongest case framework and most unique PEI stories. While being a recruiting lead at McKinsey gave me the playbook, my unique coaching method is what makes the difference. I'm a top 1% coach new to LeLand with my tested drill method that can help you to tackle any unconventional case interview with confidence and creativity. I’ve coached 80+ candidates who have achieved a 100% success rate in securing consulting offers. We’ll take a comprehensive look at the entire interview process (both case and PEI), and run drill sessions to master each component—Math, frameworking, chart reading, brainstorming, starting and closing the case—until you feel 100% in each area. We’ll also practice the positive self-talk that helps you overcome challenges during interviews, because at the end of the day, so much of this is mental. While I bring the rigor and strategic thinking from my three years at McKinsey, my clients know me for my “soft but powerful” leadership style. I’m here to make this challenging process feel fun and empowering, ensuring your unique personality shines through as your greatest asset. Before Leland, I have been posting on social media platforms on how to excel in MBB interviews and generating 500k+ views in 1 month. Whether you're looking to master case/behavioral interviews or refine your application materials, I'm here to help you succeed. Background: ex-Junior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, where I specialized in consumer, TMT, and healthcare sectors, focusing on customer experience, go-to-market strategies, and pricing. Currently, starting out my leather good business. Very experienced with international candidates who speak English as second language and trying to break into consulting in an English speaking country.

I worked at BCG for ~9 years, starting as an Associate and receiving direct promotions to Partner. While at BCG, I led our office recruiting (including performing 200+ final round interviews) and our Career Development Committee for Associates & Consultants, so I know both how to get the offer and also succeed at the job over time. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, fit questions, resume refinement, or strategic career advice, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. While in undergrad, I received offers from all 3 MBB firms and ultimately selected BCG. I know what it takes to get Consulting offers and am happy to help you however I can. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your consulting career success!

Hot take: Breaking into consulting is easier than you think, but nobody does it alone. I’ve helped 80+ clients navigate the application and interview process, and I think coaching should be fun and stress-free. Let’s chat!

I help people with non-traditional backgrounds and careers (1) prepare for management consulting interviews, particularly in impact consulting, and (2) navigate career transitions. I have spent a decade building a non-traditional career myself, with global experience across sectors and geographies — starting in technology at an investment bank, then moving into social impact at foundations and non-profits. Post my Oxford MBA, I spent time in consulting at McKinsey and FSG. My interest in coaching and psychology, paired with my own career journey, has equipped me to help people find clarity, navigate complex decisions, and build case skills.
