Joey has been an incredibly supportive mentor from my time breaking into banking to my private equity recruitment process. He has been highly successful in both fields and I couldn't think of a better person to learn from if targeting a career in finance. Whether it's preparing for interviews, negotiating comp, or navigating office politics – he has been there and will be a valuable resource.

Logan was an exceptional mentor and teacher during the four months I had the privilege of working with him. He always went out of his way to find teaching opportunities and help me build a well rounded consultant toolkit. He truly went above and beyond to ensure I was progressing in all key development areas.

Ashley is the best of the best!! Not only is she well versed in the PA profession and application process, but she is also your instant cheerleader to help along your process. Ashley is easy to talk to and will push you to allow vulnerability and your experiences shine throughout your application. Through her kind demeanor and genuinely care, she helped me gain the confidence I needed to believe in myself. With her help, I was able to create a personal and strong personal statement that truly expressed my why for the PA profession. In addition, the mock interviews I had with Ashley truly prepared me to confidently answer each question and obtain several acceptances! I have immense gratitude for Ashley and am grateful for her role in helping me get into PA school and recommend her to everyone!

I am grateful to have found Taylor during the law school application process. They have consistently gone above and beyond. Taylor provided excellent application feedback and needed encouragement. They spent hours talking to me to help me learn about different areas of law and better understand my legal goals. Taylor’s care and insight have demystified the application process, turning my stress into excitement. Overall, Taylor is an amazing mentor who invests in your success.

Joey was one of my first mentors back at UGA in setting a framework for pursuing a career within asset management. He was a role model and set the tone for me in my recruiting process. Now I am a charterholder and a trader at a top asset management shop, and it’s all a testament to the foundation that Joey helped me build in my early years. I fervently recommend Joey for a coaching position, and think he is a key piece in breeding success.

I cannot recommend Jack enough! He was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout my investment banking interview prep. His deep insights into the recruiting processes of various firms, as well as the culture and "inside scoop" of each one, were invaluable. Jack worked with me to craft a compelling personal story that clearly articulated who I am and why I wanted to pursue investment banking. Thanks to his guidance, I felt confident, clear, and thoroughly prepared for every interview. If you’re looking for a coach to help you navigate the challenging recruiting process, Jack is the one to trust!

100% INTERVIEW SUCCESS RATE (INCLUDING HBS) WITH AVANTI INTERVIEW PREP Background: International, software developer, GMAT 750, GPA: N/A, GPAs not used I worked with Greg from Avanti on my interviews, primarily my HBS interview. I met him through a group interview prep session he held for an organization I was affiliated with, and I instantly understood why people use consultants. When they’re good, they are absolutely worth it! I had worked on my applications alone up until that point, not expecting much to be honest. But once I got the interview invites from HBS and the other schools, I knew I had to put my best foot forward. Before working with Avanti, I had one sub-par mock interview with a very well-known consultancy service that left me feeling hopeless and considering withdrawing from HBS’s interview process. But Greg’s encouraging approach really brought out the best in me and helped me see that I had a good chance of getting in if I had the right technique. I signed up for Avanti’s 3-hour interview prep package split across 2 sessions: an HBS Interview Prep strategy/response design session and a personalized HBS mock interview and feedback session. Overall, Greg was an absolute pleasure to work with! He understood all the nuances of how the HBS interview works and he had obviously done a lot of work before our session to make sure that my mock interview experience was as close to the real thing as possible. And beyond prepping for specific questions, he taught me a general approach to structuring my answers that would work in any scenario. That approach was very useful not just in my HBS interview but for the other school interviews I had. Greg helped me recognize any weaknesses in my application that could come up in the interview and prepare for anything that HBS could throw at me. He really went above and beyond; even though I had booked only 3 hours, he actually worked with me for 4 hours despite some personal constraints. Just before ending our last session, Greg told me that he knew I would do great. I don’t know if he says that to everybody 😀 but those were the exact words I needed to hear going into my interviews. And he was right! I got into all four schools I interviewed with – a 100% success rate – including HBS! After getting in, I also got an email from Greg recommending pre-MBA programs to check out, giving me a fantastic head start on recruitment. That’s the level of dedication and commitment that you get from Avanti Prep.​

Aashray understands and connects well with people and helps them surface their unique story. He helped me select which schools to apply for based on my unique interests and coached me to present myself in a compelling way. Also, as a tech engineer, I found valuable advice in his own experiences transitioning into business. I recommend working with Aashray if you are serious and want to stand out from the crowd.

I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Kevin as a coach/mentor and product leader for some time now, and I can confidently say that his leadership has been a game-changer for both me and the entire team. His coaching is about empowering others to think strategically, make data-driven decisions, and always keep the bigger picture in mind. He has played a pivotal role in honing my understanding of product strategy, offering guidance that goes well beyond just tactical advice. What truly sets Kevin apart is his genuine investment in developing others. He has been an invaluable source of support and guidance, always taking the time to provide thoughtful feedback and challenge us to push our boundaries. It's rare to find a leader who is not only incredibly skilled in product management, product strategy but also committed to helping others grow and succeed. Another trait that stands out most is how collaborative Kevin is. He has a unique ability to bring cross-functional teams together, aligning everyone around a shared vision. This has been key in helping us drive successful product strategies and achieve challenging goals. Whether we’re brainstorming or problem-solving, Kevin ensures that every voice is heard and that we work as one cohesive team. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have Kevin's guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach and/or product leader.

Anchal is an exceptional product leader and an outstanding mentor for individuals aspiring to break into product management or advance to leadership roles in their product careers. Her feedback is thorough and insightful, and she creates a clear, structured process to help mentees learn and prepare effectively. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to transition into a top PM role after graduation, even without traditional college support.
