I am very grateful to Inna for her pivotal role in my career journey. Thanks to her guidance and support, I successfully started my career as an education consultant - a fulfilling role I am pleased in today. What sets Inna apart is her ability to see potential in others and to trust in it wholeheartedly. Her genuine appreciation for my abilities was a tremendous motivator, giving me the confidence to pursue my goals. Inna's thoughtful listening and analytical skills ensured we developed the right plan to succeed. She is outcome-oriented, always focusing on tangible results while maintaining a supportive and encouraging presence. Perhaps most inspiring of all is her leadership by example. Watching Inna in action provided guidance and inspired me to find and embrace my unique path. I am confident that anyone with the privilege of working with Inna as a coach will experience the same level of trust, empowerment, and success she generously offered me. Kind regards, Reinhard Beck

Victoria is an excellent mentor and coach!! She cares deeply about everyone she coaches and has great attention to detail as well as the bigger picture. Ive worked with her in both academic and professional settings and would highly recommend her.

Anchal is great product leader and awesome mentor to individuals looking to break into product management or grow within product career to leadership roles. She goes deep in her feedback and sets up an easy process for anyone to learn and prepare. Recommend her to anyone interested in knowing how to get into top PM career after graduation without college support.

I began working with Fiona as a professional coach thinking my frustrations and career issues were primarily related to my work environment. With Fiona’s holistic approach to coaching, I was able to realize many of my frustrations were the result of unresolved and unrecognized personal issues. I am now a C-suite executive with a very happy and healthy family and work life.

Anchal is great mentor in product leadership she can guide folks on how to prepare for interviews and how to be successful in the role

Evan is extremely knowledgeable about a variety of topics such as PM, payments, and business but he helped me immensely for my Visa interview. I was interviewing for a business role and he helped me really understand the payments space and what Visa is doing. He helped me think more strategically about Visa in relation to fintechs/other competitors/partners and helped me with mock interviews. He really tries to understand what you are looking for and what you're hoping to learn. He's encouraging, ambitious, and has a variety of experiences which make him a great coach! Highly recommend Evan.

I cannot recommend Victoria enough as an MBA coach. During an intensely stressful and emotional process, she was the perfect person to help me keep my head on straight. She is strategic, understands what programs are looking for, and helped me prioritize my time to focus on the aspects of my profile that mattered the most. She was extremely connected at CBS and can provide firsthand knowledge into M7s and the best ways ri make yourself shine to get admitted to your dream school. It wouldn’t have happened for me without Victoria

Briana is an exceptional strategist who knows how to inspire and unify teams around a shared vision. Her natural charisma and genuine ability to connect with others make collaboration seamless and energizing. She balances sharp strategic thinking with empathy, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued while driving meaningful results. Simply put, Briana is the kind of leader who brings out the best in people and leaves every team stronger.

FAR BETTER QUALITY THAN TWO OTHER VERY WELL KNOWN CONSULTANTS Overall the time commitment, effort, depth of work and level of support that I received from Greg was far higher/better quality than two other (quite well known) consultants that I worked with before I came to Avanti Prep. Greg was extremely detail oriented and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. Background: I initially reached out to Greg for extra interview support with one of my Rd1 schools. I was already working with another consultant but I figured I could use more help. His interview feedback was so detailed that I decided to sign up for a 2 school comprehensive package with him for Rd2. I had done some of the initial career goals exploration with another consultant but I worked with Greg on everything else for these two schools (he also helped me refine my career goals to a certain extent). Here are some of the things that stood out as I worked with Greg on the two schools: 1. Right from the very outset, starting from the initial intake form, he went really deep into my personal and professional background and really spent a lot of time getting to know me. And this was not a one time thing - in future calls, when we were brainstorming essays, he would bring up stuff from work/extracurriculars and we would spend a lot of time going even deeper into those topics as needed. He asked a lot of probing questions to extract the relevant fodder for essays. This translated really well in terms of him being able to guide my essay/interview content and overall application. 2. He really cares for his clients. He went above and beyond to make sure I was supported and all my questions/nagging concerns were answered. 3. His overall demeanor is very relaxed and friendly, and he is very easy to talk to. The application process is extremely stressful and I felt like I had someone by my side to support me throughout the process and calm my nerves when things got scary. This translated really well to me being candid and honest about my background and helped us bring my best self to the application. 4. He knows how to strike a balance of being polite and respectful but at the same time being persuasive to get you to do things. He was never rude but at the same time he made sure I knew when he thought something was not good enough, or more information was needed, or if there was a better way to do things, or if I was not putting my best answers forward for the interview. Nothing slipped through the cracks and he made sure I was giving it my best shot. 5. The level of depth and thoughtfulness that went into the process was simply remarkable. And this was true across the board - getting to know my story, essays, interviews, etc. The essay process involved 5-6 extremely detailed reviews which involved him asking me a lot of questions in specific areas so I could get the best ideas on paper. Even the brainstorming involved multiple calls to nail down the appropriate content for each specific school/essay. Likewise with interviews, it went far beyond content - we talked about vocal tonality, length of answers, body language, answer structure, etc. In summary, I strongly recommend working with Greg for your MBA applications for all the reasons mentioned above.
