Management Consulting

I spent 7 years at BCG, from Associate to Project Leader. During this time, I was also first Recruiting Coach and then Interviewer, having coached and interviewed 100+ applicants for Associate & Consultant positions. I did my MBA degree at INSEAD, during which I coached 50+ of my co-students who were trying to get into Consulting. Finally, after leaving consulting, I also intensively coached my wife who as a result got offers from McKinsey, BCG and Bain.

I'm Julie, a former Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where I spent more than a decade advising senior executives and leading teams across a broad range of strategic and operational challenges. During my tenure, I progressed from Associate to Partner, giving me firsthand insight into every stage of the consulting career path—from securing an offer to succeeding and advancing within the firm. In addition to my client work, I was deeply involved in BCG's recruiting and talent development efforts. For six years, I served as an interviewer and member of the recruiting committee, evaluating hundreds of candidates across undergraduate, MBA, and experienced-hire recruiting. I was directly involved in assessing candidates and making hiring decisions, giving me a clear perspective on what distinguishes those who receive offers from those who do not. I hold an MBA from The Wharton School, where I was recognized as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of the graduating class), and a Bachelor of Commerce from Queen's University. Since leaving BCG, I have continued to mentor and coach candidates pursuing careers in consulting. I help candidates strengthen their resumes and applications, develop compelling personal narratives, refine their networking approach, and excel in both fit and case interviews. My coaching combines practical recruiting insights with candid, actionable feedback tailored to each individual's goals and experience level. I work with undergraduate students, MBA candidates, experienced professionals, and career switchers pursuing opportunities at MBB firms, Tier 2 consultancies, boutique firms, and internal strategy teams. Whether you are preparing for your first consulting interview or targeting a senior experienced-hire role, I can help you navigate the process with the same rigor and perspective used by the world's leading consulting firms. I look forward to working with you.

With six years at Bain & Company, I bring deep, firsthand experience in both interviewing and coaching candidates for management consulting roles. I’ve conducted dozens of formal first-round interviews for Associate Consultant (AC) and Associate Consultant Intern (ACI) positions, giving me a clear understanding of what top firms are looking for. In addition to formal interviews, I’ve spent the past nine years coaching undergraduate and graduate students through every stage of the recruiting process—from case prep to behavioral interviews and broader career strategy. Whether you’re just starting out or polishing your final round chops, I can help you navigate the process with confidence.

I'm a former Dalberg Project Manager, ex-BCG, Co-Founder and Startup Advisor with 15+ years in business strategy, consulting, finance, and innovation across 6 continents in 9 countries. I have a global track record of strategy and execution in private, public, and social sectors, including as a Project Manager at Dalberg Advisors, Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, Consultant with the Tony Blair Institute, and Manager at The Economist. My own diverse background across industries and functions in multiple markets for senior stakeholders has helped others navigate the complexities of strategy consulting, career pivots, narrative development, and overall application improvement to accelerate careers. I've coached hundreds of people, and would love to help guide individuals through application approaches, case interviews, resume reviews, cover letters, technical & behavioral interview preparation, etc. Let's chat to see if there's a fit to develop a compelling application together!

I spent seven years at McKinsey, all of which served to help me understand with great clarity what consultants (both at their job, and when they're interviewing candidates) care about, look for, and have curiosity toward when it comes to looking for people with the potential to succeed at top consulting firms. I've managed over 70 consultants and coached over 100 individuals on resume prep, behavioral storytelling, and case interviewing. I believe in breaking down each topic into individual frameworks that help you understand not just how to be successful, but also why the approach works, giving you a roadmap for how to continually develop your skills both in our coaching sessions and in your own individual preparation.

As a Senior Manager at Bain, I have personally interviewed dozens of high-caliber individuals who got an interview slot. I've coached over a hundred people on how to navigate the management consulting interview process throughout my 6+ year-long career at Bain, whether that be resume editing, interview prep, or career advice. I have a deep understanding of the consulting industry and the skills needed to succeed. I also hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Brigham Young University. I had no experience with consulting or case prep and applied to Bain because a friend said I should. My first practice case was with a Bain employee one week before my actual interview. Needless to say, it was a disaster. I called on all the resources I could to prep enough to make it in, and it worked! I want to give back to honor those who helped me through this process. I will give you my honest opinions and perspectives on both the amazing and difficult aspects of consulting. And happy to talk about your overall perspectives on life and what you want out of it! Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can help!

I interviewed at every consulting firm I targeted, receiving offers from McKinsey and BCG and a waitlist at Bain, and have since stayed close to the process on the other side of the table, conducting first-round case and behavioral interviews for BCG. At Ross, I served as a peer coach leading eight MBA1s through a full 15-week consulting recruiting curriculum covering everything from your elevator pitch and resume to fit interviews and all phases of casing. My specialty is helping candidates grow in confidence and ability to excel in case math and charts / exhibits. Across my time recruiting, coaching, and interviewing, I've run 100+ case interviews and worked with 20+ people on behavioral prep, helping candidates build real structure while letting their personality and specific impact come through clearly. If you're navigating consulting recruiting, I can help you develop the skills and confidence to perform when it counts. My clients have landed offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top firms.

I bring a combination of consulting, medical, recruiting, and life sciences experience. As a medical doctor and BCG alum with more than three years at the firm, I understand both the demands of MBB consulting and the strengths that advanced degree candidates can bring. I have been involved in recruiting throughout my time at BCG and have supported multiple medical and PhD candidates who went on to secure MBB offers. I understand that candidates from medicine and research may have excellent experiences but need help translating them into concise, commercially relevant stories. I can therefore support you not only with case mechanics, but also with the broader application journey: choosing a strategy, positioning your background, communicating your motivation, and presenting your experience with confidence. My current work in a life sciences startup also gives me a practical perspective on healthcare and biotech environments beyond consulting. I'm happy to support with coaching around whether or not consulting is the right fit for you too!
