Cathy M.
INSEAD Interviewer & MBA | Top 10 Global MBA Coach | Ex-Wall Street
Hi, I'm Cathy! Born and raised in New York of Chinese immigrant parents, I’ve grown up experiencing the richness of different cultures – within me, and within the city. I was able to expand my cross-cultural exposure through studying and living abroad – and most significantly, at INSEAD, which opened up doors to living in France, Singapore, London and Belgium, and making a pivotal change to my career. If you like discovering the world and different cultures, a global MBA may be calling your name. It’s such a transformative experience, and could be your next step – and I’m here to help you get there! Book an intro call to see how we can partner up on this adventure :) I've successfully coached candidates to gain candidates to gain admissions into top schools, including INSEAD, LBS, Bocconi, Booth, Wharton, HEC Paris, IESE, Cambridge Judge, Oxford Said & NYU Stern. What motivates me? From Wall Street to the gourmet chocolate world, from New York to Brussels (and many awesome places in between), the INSEAD MBA was pivotal to my triple-point change of function, industry & geography. Since it changed my life, I’m passionate about helping you get into INSEAD and global business schools. Since 2018, I’ve worked with candidates to gain admissions into top MBA programs. I’m committed to working with you and getting to know you, your story, your goals – in order to guide you in crafting your strongest applications possible – so that your application is both authentic to you and tailored to your dream business school. We’ll have some fun along the way too :) I can help you or anyone you know with… ✅ Applying to global business schools ✅ Crafting compelling essays ✅ Strategic feedback and guidance on your entire application, incl CV/resume, rec letters ✅ Navigating the admissions process as a first-gen student ✅ Understanding how to differentiate yourself as an international applicant ✅ Mock interview & prep ✅ … and more! If you’d like to switch careers, move countries post-MBA, or return to your home country after immersing yourself in a global MBA program, I'm here to help you achieve your dreams!
