Management Consulting

Having worked at top firms including Bain & Company and Monitor Deloitte for five years, I have extensive knowledge of strategy consulting. At Bain, I honed my skills in private equity due diligences, before heading out to Columbia Business School to complete my MBA. I have predominantly worked with industry-leading media and sports clients, spending time on secondment to Disney and Manchester United FC. I am highly analytical, given my degree in Economics from the London School of Economics. This background makes me well placed to help when it comes to prepping for market sizing and case interviews. I am passionate about supporting aspiring consultants in navigating the competitive landscape of management consulting having sat both sides of the table - as interviewee and interviewer. I would love to work together to master your case interviews and refine your application strategy. Do reach out to discuss your application journey and how I can best help!

I help candidates prepare for consulting interviews through a fully tailored, senior-level approach, without generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all methodologies. Before becoming a Coach I was a Partner at BCG, where I spent 12+ years, during which I conducted 200+ case and fit interviews for candidates at all levels, from new joiners to experienced hires. I also coached 20+ consultants across multiple stages of their careers, helping them turn around performance, secure their next promotion, or gain admission to their target MBA programs. Before joining BCG, I worked for 2 years at Oliver Wyman. I also sit on the admissions committee at London Business School and interview MBA candidates. What you get with me is direct access to how a BCG Partner actually thinks, evaluates, and decides. I start every engagement with an honest assessment of where you stand, identify the specific gaps between you and offer-ready, and build the prep around closing exactly those. Not sure yet?

Management consulting at a top-tier firm can supercharge your career, but getting in can be a daunting process, especially if you come from a non-traditional background. I'm here to help! Leveraging three years at Bain on the "other side" of recruiting, I provide coaching for the entire recruiting process, from networking strategy and resume reviews to case and behavioral interview prep. A little bit about me: I spent three years at Bain & Company as a consultant and manager, after graduating from Michigan Ross with my MBA. I was heavily involved in recruiting at Bain: I was an on-campus recruiter for Pride @ Bain nationally, conducted undergraduate (associate consultant) interviews, supervised interns across Bain's Summer Associate, BASE, and ADvantage programs, and authored an MBA interview case. I've conducted over 300 mock consulting case interviews during my time at Bain and Ross, and I've successfully coached several individuals in getting MBB offers, many from non-traditional backgrounds.

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!

Naturally thinking in frameworks is what helped me secure full-time offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. As a coach, I can work with you 1:1 to hone your frame-working skills and offer the following: - Personal Diagnostic: Un-learning bad habits for frameworks and structuring case interviews - Firm-Specific Problem-Solving: Tailoring your approach to frameworks by firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) - Brainstorming Drills: Working with you live to deepen and speed-up your framework brainstorming - Mock Interviews: Custom case interview questions in a simulated interview environment with live feedback

Former McKinsey & Company consultant with 6 years experience across the San Francisco, New York offices and Johannesburg offices, advising leading financial institutions and sovereign wealth funds on strategy, M&A, AI integration, and organizational restructuring — including one of Wall Street's largest banks, a major US startup bank, and a Gulf sovereign wealth fund where I assessed the feasibility of a greenfield gold mining investment. I went through the McKinsey case interview process twice (pre-MBA at McKinsey Johannesburg, post-MBA at McKinsey US) and know exactly what separates a strong candidate from a passable one. Most recently, I served as CEO of a last-mile logistics company with 35+ employees, giving me an operator's perspective most case coaches don't have — we'll work through real client problems, not textbook ones. Harvard MBA. Originally from South Africa, so I'm particularly equipped to coach international and non-traditional applicants on positioning their story for MBB.

I was also an interviewer at ClearView, so I know exactly how candidates are evaluated and where most people go wrong.

If a stateless emigre can do it, you can do it! I'll walk you through the consulting landscape for MBB, T2, Big Tech, and boutiques in the US, GCC, HK, and all across Europe. With a strong foundation in consulting, I bring diverse experience from top shops like Bain & Company, L.E.K. Consulting, and Arthur D. Little, where I've worked on diverse projects across industries such as healthcare, education, FinTech, EdTech, travel & transportation, tourism, industrials, and telecom. I have successfully coached 50+ individuals (23 on Leland alone), helping them navigate the competitive landscape of management consulting in North America, EMEA, and Asia. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, behavioral interviews, bar raiser, resume refinement, or strategic career advice, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. My academic achievements include a Master’s degree from the University of Bologna, awarded with the highest merit-based scholarship and the highest distinction, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I've also done an exchange at Columbia University and did a consulting project at Notre Dame. Let's help you break into consulting, shall we? Yours, Nate P.S. Also coaching on breaking into the Expert Networks industry, like Alphasights, Guidepoint, GLG, etc.

I've been heavily involved in consulting recruiting throughout my career and have seen the process from nearly every angle. As a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (and previously at Deloitte), I've navigated both undergraduate and experienced-hire recruiting myself, participated in recruiting leadership roles, conducted hundreds of coffee chats, led countless mock interviews, and interviewed candidates as part of actual hiring decisions. At BCG, I help identify, evaluate, and develop top talent. I've worked closely with candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, including students trying to break into consulting for the first time to experienced professionals looking to make a career transition into MBB. What I've learned is that most candidates don't struggle because they're not smart enough. They struggle because they haven't been taught how consultants actually think, communicate, and solve problems under pressure. My coaching focuses on helping candidates develop those skills through: -Case interview preparation -Behavioral and fit interview coaching -Resume and application reviews -Networking strategy and coffee chat preparation -Recruiting process guidance and offer decision-making I tailor my approach to each candidate rather than forcing everyone into the same framework. Whether you're targeting McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or another top consulting firm, my goal is to help you develop the confidence, structure, and communication skills needed to stand out in a highly competitive process and earn the offer.

I spent 7 years at Bain & Company in London, leaving as an Associate Partner. During my time there I conducted 100+ live and virtual case and fit interviews — giving me a first-hand view of exactly what separates a borderline candidate from an offer. I also served as On-Campus Lead for Bain's MBA recruiting team, conducting individual coffee chats and case prep for hundreds of students, as well as running large format group case interview prep sessions. I also know this process from the other side of the table: I switched into consulting myself during my MBA (LBS, Class of 2019), and used a coach during that transition myself, which is a big part of why I'm now eager to help others do the same. I coach both case and behavioural/fit interviews. Beyond this I managed to get promoted early in Bain London, and navigated the consulting career path. I mentored (formally and informally) more than 15 junior consultants in my time at Bain, and get a lot of energy from seeing others follow their passions and showcasing their skills to land amazing work for clients.
