Management Consulting

Former BCG consultant with 3 years of management consulting experience across strategy and operations. Now Chief of Staff at a venture-backed digital health startup in the PH. Received full-time offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain across Asia and the US. Previously Consultant representative for recruitment for target Ivy schools - PIC for mock cases, interview tips, behaviorals prep, live recruitment events, etc.

Two years working at BCG in Australia. Advised 10+ prospective applicants successfully through the process to receiving an offer.

I was promoted from Analyst to Senior Manager in less than 6 years at Accenture as a Management Consultant. During my time there and also after, I have coached many peers both of lower and higher levels to get the promotion they long for. Consulting is NOT school, you can't just work hard and hope others are noticing to help promote you. Learning to network and build your own board of directors is critical in advancement but you need to balance not being too thirsty at the same time. A lot of this work starts with confidence building and transitions to improving your storytelling skillset. Lastly the work is continuous, your board of directors may leave, a re-org is most definitely going to take place - contingency plans and should always be on your mind.

I've spent 20+ years as a management consultant and strategic advisor to Fortune 500 companies across pharma, life sciences, financial services, technology, and CPG – including AT&T, IBM, American Express, Xerox, MetLife, Prudential, McGraw-Hill, Chrysler, Colgate-Palmolive, Campbell Soup, and over 100 other organizations. I help consultants, aspiring consultants, and business leaders navigate the real work of strategy – how to frame the right problem, build a compelling business case, present to executive stakeholders, win new business, and deliver results that actually move the needle. I've done this across industries, company sizes, and engagement types, from boutique agencies to Omnicom Health Group. I also help professionals build and grow independent consulting practices – pricing, positioning, client acquisition, and building frameworks that scale.

I'm a former McKinsey Engagement Manager and interviewer, and founder of Calvanese Advisory. I spent 4.5 years at McKinsey in the strategy practice, across the US and Italy offices, conducting 100+ candidate interviews from the interviewer side of the table. My core offer is the Calibration Diagnostic, a structured assessment I designed at Calvanese Advisory. It exists for the one thing free resources and peer practice can't replace: an honest, calibrated assessment from someone who has evaluated candidates in real consulting interviews. The proprietary framework — 15 dimensions across behavioral and case, split into core and execution — is applied the way an interviewer applies it in the room. Most mock interviews end in impressions. The Calibration Diagnostic ends in a structured written report — a dimension-by-dimension map of your performance against the bar that you can return to throughout your prep. That structure is the difference between "I think I did okay" and knowing exactly where you stand and what to fix. Why this is different: — Cases designed at EM standard, validated by other McKinsey interviewers — Behavioral prep grounded in what MBB firms actually evaluate — Written, structured feedback across 15 dimensions — your performance mapped against what clears the bar, drawn from real interviewer experience — Bilingual EN/IT, with working proficiency in French and Spanish — useful for European candidates and dual-language prep Best fit for: candidates targeting MBB or tier-2, strong-fundamentals candidates trying to break above the bar, and experienced hires switching from industry. Not a fit for: candidates very early in prep looking for foundational frameworks.

Tatiana has navigated the consulting recruiting process from every angle. She successfully interviewed at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG from a non-target undergraduate school. At BCG, she was a top performer who was promoted early twice and was selected out of 200 applicants for a competitive Social Impact Immersion Program. Since then, she has coached candidates from all backgrounds on case prep, personal narrative, and interview strategy. Tatiana can also help you think through how to build meaningful relationships with Partners once you're in, and how to navigate toward the work and impact areas you actually care about.

I am a current MBA student at the Kellogg School of Management. I successfully recruited for MBB consulting and will be starting full-time in January 2027. I have coached 17 people on consulting interview and case prep with 11 of them securing MBB offers and 4 securing offers at T2 firms. I provide a structured approach to interview prep and love helping people succeed.

My consulting experience spans working in Technology Risk at EY and buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory at SellSide Group, where I developed a strong foundation in structured problem-solving, client communication, and analytical thinking. Throughout my undergraduate career, I've mentored several students pursuing consulting careers through the consulting organization I co-founded, helping them secure full-time consulting offers through resume reviews, networking strategies, behavioral interview preparation, and case interview coaching. I understand that breaking into consulting requires much more than a strong resume. From crafting a compelling personal story to developing structured case-solving skills and building a strategic networking plan, I genuinely enjoy helping candidates approach every stage of the recruiting process with confidence. Whether you're recruiting for internships or full-time roles, my goal is to help you present your best self and maximize your chances of success.

I'm Marisa — a Chicago Booth MBA, former McKinsey consultant, and I held simultaneous offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. After nearly three years at McKinsey, I've left to build my own consulting firm, and with that transition comes something I've been wanting to do for a while: coach serious candidates through the MBB recruiting process. I spent my time at Booth as co-chair of the consulting club, creating case drills, leading prep sessions, and helping classmates prepare their personal experience narratives. Coaching isn't new to me — and now I get to do it at scale.

I didn’t take the most obvious path into consulting. I went to Florida State, cold emailed 1,000 people to break into investment banking, got fired a year later, and then cold emailed my way into BCG. Somehow, that one worked out a little better. I spent two years at BCG working across a mix of industries and problems. One of the biggest things consulting taught me was how to get dropped into something you know almost nothing about, get caught up quickly, break the problem down, and communicate your thinking clearly. That’s also how I think about consulting recruiting. Cases obviously matter, but they’re only part of it. The people who get offers also know how to communicate, show good judgment, build rapport, stay composed when they get stuck, and make the interviewer actually want to work with them. I can help with the full process, from figuring out your recruiting strategy and positioning your background to case prep, behavioral interviews, and getting sharper on the little things that separate a solid interview from an offer. I especially enjoy working with people who don’t come from the obvious consulting pipeline. I’ve been there. You don’t need to have the perfect background. You do need to understand how to tell your story, prepare intelligently, and show up well when it counts.
