Management Consulting

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and extensive experience at top firms like The Boston Consulting Group, I bring a wealth of knowledge in strategy consulting to my coaching. As a former Project Leader at BCG, I led numerous high-impact projects, and helped mentees navigate staffing, career development, and performance. Whether you're looking to master case interviews or refine your career trajectory, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart your path to success in consulting!

I've helped candidates land 25+ offers across tech and consulting — and before that, I was the one sitting in the hot seat figuring out how to actually break in. On the industry side, I've worked as a Program Management intern at Microsoft (federal contracts team) and as a Consulting Analyst at Stout on the IP and data team, and I'm about to start as a Business Analyst at Capital One. That mix means I've seen hiring up close at a big tech company, a boutique consulting firm, and a large corporate analyst program — three very different processes, three very different "what actually gets you hired" playbooks. On Campus at the University of Illinois I had served as a Project Director at the Illinois Consulting Group, where I've been staffed on projects spanning every major industry, and I've spent the last few years mentoring dozens of students trying to break into tech and consulting. I've also served as a Project Director with Product Space, coaching candidates specifically on product management career paths — so whether you're gunning for a case interview or a PM behavioral round, I've been in the room for both. Put it all together and here's what I can actually do for you: build a resume that gets you the interview (not just a "thanks for applying"), network with purpose instead of cold-emailing into the void, nail the case interview efficiently without just memorizing frameworks, and crush your behavioral rounds by turning your actual experiences into a story that lands. I've done this for myself and for dozens of other candidates. Happy to do it for you too.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm passionate about helping candidates navigate recruiting with confidence. My background spans strategy, consulting, and tech, with experience at Accenture, DoorDash, KPMG, and IBM. Throughout my career, I've also successfully interviewed with companies including McKinsey, Uber, Pinterest, EY, and others, giving me firsthand insight into what different interview processes look for. During university, I competed extensively in case competitions - winning in 10+ national competitions. I later coached more than 10 students through weekly case interview sessions, helping them improve their frameworks, communication, and overall interview performance. Those experiences have translated into a strong track record in case interviews, with a success rate of over 95%. As a coach, I focus on practical, actionable feedback. Whether you're preparing for consulting case interviews, strategy and operations roles, or tech business interviews, I'll help you structure your thinking, communicate clearly, and build the confidence needed to perform at your best. I can also help with resume reviews, behavioral interviews, and recruiting strategy to maximize your chances of landing interviews. I'd love to help you achieve your recruiting goals. Let's work together to build a plan that gets you to your next offer!

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. Let's connect, and chart your path to a fulfilling career.

Welcome - I'm here to help you break into consulting! With a diverse background in strategic marketing and service design, I bring a unique perspective to management consulting coaching. As a former Manager at Deloitte, I led teams in integrating large IT systems for government agencies and big tech vendors, while building skills in strategic influence, negotiation, and navigating corporate politics. My experience as a Principal Coach at Speak Human Studio and a Professor of Strategic Marketing at The New School allows me to blend practical industry insights with academic rigor. I have extensive experience with early-career consulting professionals. Having coached 62 individuals, I specialize in guiding clients through the complexities of consulting careers, from mastering case interviews to refining resumes and cover letters. Let's connect and craft a personalized strategy to help you succeed in your consulting journey!

I've spent my career on both sides of the table. As a Project Leader at BCG in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, I led strategy engagements for governments and major corporates across the Gulf. Since then, I've seen consulting from every other angle: as an independent strategy advisor to companies across Europe and the Middle East, and as a Strategy Manager at Masdar, one of the world's leading clean energy companies, where I sat on the client side and see which consultants actually add value. I'm also the founder of Consulting Bootcamp, where I've trained and assessed 200+ candidates and professionals on the MBB toolkit, using a structured methodology that measures real skill improvement. What that means for you: I won't just run cases with you, I'll tell you honestly where you stand, coach you on the exact skills firms assess (structured problem-solving, analysis, storytelling, presence), and show you how to demonstrate them under pressure. My goal isn't to get you an offer. It's to make you the kind of consultant firms fight to keep.

I spent over 3 years at McKinsey, including one year serving as Deputy Chief of Staff for the firm's Global Managing Partner (CEO). I have since done several independent consulting engagements and coached many students and professionals in career transitions hoping to join (or leave) consulting firms.

I’m qualified to coach in Management Consulting because I’ve spent my career advising global banks, consulting firms, and complex enterprises on leadership, organizational dynamics, and large‑scale transformation. My background spans Big 4, boutique, and research‑based consulting environments where I architected organisational and workforce transformation programs across financial services, health, energy, and consumer markets - work that mirrors the complexity, pace, and client focus required in consulting. Since 2007, I’ve advised and coached more than 500 senior HR, L&D, and business leaders on talent strategy, workforce risk, leadership succession, and assessment product strategy. I’ve partnered closely with consulting teams to design human‑centric solutions, build transformation roadmaps, and navigate cross‑functional change - supporting consultants as they solve ambiguous problems, influence senior stakeholders, and deliver measurable impact under pressure. As graduate faculty at Cambridge, I specialized in MEd learning and developed behavioural‑science‑driven training solutions grounded in adult learning and enterprise capability building — the same foundations that underpin effective consulting and advisory work. I bring a structured, governance‑aligned approach that helps consultants strengthen judgment, anticipate stakeholder dynamics, and operate at the altitude required for advisory roles. My coaching supports consultants and leaders in managing ambiguity, aligning cross‑functional teams, and delivering impact in environments where expectations shift quickly and precision matters.

Ready to break into consulting, or level up once you are in? Let's get you there. With over 15 years of experience across the consulting and engineering sectors, I bring a wealth of practical, real-world knowledge to my coaching practice. Having held principal-level positions at a top-tier consulting firm, I have conducted hundreds of case interviews and led the recruitment team, giving me deep insight into exactly what these firms look for in candidates. My MBA from INSEAD, where I was actively involved in the admissions committee, further sharpens my ability to guide aspiring consultants through every stage of the process. Having coached over 100 individuals, I specialise in case interview preparation, resume refinement, and overall application strategy. Fast, focused preparation for those short on time I know most candidates are juggling demanding jobs alongside their interview preparation. My sessions are built to get you up to speed quickly, working through real cases efficiently and giving you sharp, honest feedback you can act on immediately. If you are time-constrained and need to make every session count, this is where I can help most. Specialist support for experienced hires I made the experienced-hire transition into consulting myself, so I understand the specific challenges that come with it: how to reframe an industry background, what firms expect from senior candidates, and how the process differs from campus recruitment. I offer targeted preparation and guidance for experienced professionals moving into consulting, drawing directly on my own journey. Guidance for those already inside consulting Coaching does not stop at the offer. I also work with people who are already in consulting and finding it tough, whether that is navigating the steep learning curve, managing performance expectations, or working out how to progress. If you are struggling inside a firm and want a candid sounding board from someone who has been through it, I can help.
