Case Prep - Zero to Hero (3 Sessions)
Most people over-complicate cases, they're less about quick math and creative thinking and more about good conversation skills and knowing when to ask the right questions. This package is for anyone looking to improve their casing ability whether they're applying for traditional management consulting firms or looking for F500 corporate strategy roles. Session Overview 1. Intro to casing - we'll cover the basics of how cases work, typical structures, and a few best practices I've learned along the way (if already experienced we'll jump right in with practice) 2. Mock case interview - based on your preference we can either run through interviewee driven cases or work through interviewer driven, I'll provide detailed feedback and suggestions at the end of each. Also have a dozen+ case books that I can share to provide a good overview of different case styles.
What's included
I'm pretty flexible in terms of approach and your expectations, if something isn't working just bring it up and we can adjust real time. I've done a lot of cases & coaching so I have a good sense of how to help you get to the next level. If this package isn't right for you just reach out and we can find something else that is.
- Build solid casing fundamentals and have clear feedback & direction as you head into your actual interviews.

Consulting & corp strat (Nordstrom, Samsung, & Disney) intro to offer prep
I'm a Columbia MBA here to help you earn a spot at a top MBA program, even -- or especially -- if you come from a regular old background. I started my career in consulting at Accenture in their strategy group. I then joined Nordstrom’s corporate strategy team before heading to Columbia Business School for my MBA. After business school I spent two years Samsung’s Global Strategy Group as an expat based in Seoul, South Korea. I'm now back in the US working at Disney on a strategic planning team supporting their Parks segment. As a coach, I'm particularly keen on helping you with Application Strategy and School Selection. Why? My grandfather went to HBS, my father went to HBS, and me? I ended up at CBS! No, not because I mixed up my acronyms -- but because I chose my MBA program based on culture and fit. To do that, I read every school guide on the internet, visited as many campuses as I could, and spent hours talking to colleagues and coworkers from different programs. Ultimately, I chose Columbia, and it truly was the perfect program for me. If you come from a regular background, have ambitions of attending a top MBA program, and could use help laying out your strategy and choosing which program is best for you, I'm the perfect coach for you. I'll help you choose your school list, craft your story, and nail your application when you apply!
