Get Into IESE Business School
Applying to IESE is about much more than submitting a strong CV and writing a good essay. The admissions process is designed to understand who you are, what motivates you, how you think, and the impact you have had throughout your career. Having been part of the IESE Admissions Committee, I understand the application process from the other side of the table. I’ll help you build a clear, authentic application strategy and make sure your profile, essays, CV, and interview tell a consistent and compelling story. This package is tailored to your background, career goals, and the specific characteristics of the IESE MBA application. Common coaching activities include: Application Strategy: Assess your profile, identify your strengths and potential weaknesses, and develop a clear strategy for positioning your candidacy. CV & Profile Positioning: Refine your CV and overall profile to highlight the experiences, achievements, leadership, and impact that matter most. Essay Strategy & Review: Develop compelling, authentic essays that answer the questions while showing who you are beyond your professional achievements. Career Goals: Clarify your short- and long-term goals and build a credible career narrative that connects your past experience with your MBA plans. School Fit: Develop a strong and authentic “Why IESE?” story and identify the specific elements of the IESE experience that align with your goals and personality. Interview Preparation: Prepare for the IESE interview through realistic mock interviews, challenging follow-ups, and detailed feedback. Overall Application Review: Review the application as a whole to ensure that your CV, essays, recommendations, career goals, and interview preparation tell a coherent story. The objective is not to make your application sound like everyone else’s. It is to identify what makes your profile distinctive and help you communicate it clearly, authentically, and strategically throughout the process.
What's included
My approach is warm, personal, and focused on understanding where you are coming from. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula, I take the time to understand your experiences, motivations, personality, and goals so we can build an application that genuinely reflects who you are. I also believe that the MBA application process is about more than the application itself. When relevant, I’m happy to connect you with IESE alumni or other people in my network who can help you learn more about the school, different career paths, or the MBA experience. My goal is to be a trusted partner throughout the process — helping you think clearly about your story, challenge your assumptions, and put forward the strongest and most authentic version of your candidacy.

I help ambitious candidates build stronger MBA applications for top European business schools, including IESE, London Business School, ESADE, IE INSEAD and other leading programs. I hold an MBA from IESE Business School, where I served as President of the Marketing Club and collaborated closely with the Admissions team. For the past four years, I have also supported the IESE admissions process, giving me first-hand insight into what top European schools look for in candidates: leadership potential, international mindset, career clarity, personal fit, and a compelling story. Over the years, I have helped candidates secure admission to leading MBA programs, including cases where applicants also obtained scholarships. My coaching goes beyond editing essays. I work with you to clarify your positioning, sharpen your career narrative, choose the right schools, prepare for interviews, conducting mock interviews and present your profile in a way that feels both strategic and authentic. My background in marketing, business development, education, and international business allows me to bring a practical, structured approach to admissions coaching. As an adjunct professor and guest lecturer at institutions such as GBSB Global Business School and ESADE, I also understand how business schools evaluate communication, leadership and intellectual curiosity. Whether you are still exploring MBA options or already preparing applications, I can help you build a clear strategy and increase your chances of getting into the right program.
