Growth Equity Coaches

I've also helped many of these same clients get into HBS, Stanford GSB, and Wharton ◆ I have 15+ years experience in finance: Blackstone M&A, then a decade at Warburg Pincus, with an MBA from HBS and a finance degree from Wharton ◆ I wrote the "Comprehensive Finance Interview Guide" over a decade ago while prepping for my own PE recruiting, and I've been refining my system ever since ◆ I work with candidates at every stage, including resume help, mock interviews, or a full multi-month partnership covering networking, resume, story, technicals, and modeling tests

I’ve spent my career working in private equity and investment banking, and I try to bring that real-world perspective into how I coach. Most recently, I was a Private Equity Associate at The Carlyle Group, where I worked on multi-billion dollar investments, built models, and partnered closely with management teams through the full investment process. Before that, I was an Investment Banking Analyst at Moelis & Company, where I developed a strong technical foundation in valuation and deal execution. I’m currently finishing my MBA at Harvard Business School and will be joining a private equity firm as a Vice President, so I have a clear, up-to-date view on what actually matters in recruiting today. I’ve also spent a lot of time mentoring and helping others navigate the process, which has shaped how I approach coaching. My focus isn’t just on getting you to the “right answer,” but on helping you think like an investor—building the judgment, communication skills, and intuition that top private equity firms are really looking for.
