Mike made outstanding contributions and held leadership positions in various capacities, particularly within the MSx admission process and as the Stanford GSB MSx program director. His past involvement in the MSx admission process was pivotal, demonstrating his keen understanding of what it takes to identify and nurture top-tier mid-career students. His insights shaped the program's direction and ensured that it attracted a diverse pool of mid-career professionals who could benefit from Stanford GSB's unique offerings. Beyond his administrative prowess, Mike excels in coaching and counseling mid-career professionals. I saw a deep commitment to understanding individual aspirations and challenges, which helped him provide tailored guidance that fosters personal and professional growth. I have personally experienced Mike's coaching style through his ability to listen attentively, inclusively engage diverse perspectives, exhibit patience during challenging moments, empathize with the journeys of others, and provide unwavering support. Who better to guide you and support your MSx application journey than someone who led the program for 11 years?

I had the pleasure of working with Jeremy during my time at the company. Jeremy was the best manager I ever had the chance to work with. Despite the chaotic state the work was in, he was instrumental in organizing our tasks, motivating the team, and inspiring us all. Even with his heavy workload, he always made time for us and significantly improved the state of our projects. Jeremy mentored me consistently and ensured we had regular one-on-one meetings. He provided valuable advice on personal development, identifying my strengths and weaknesses and showing me how to leverage them. His coaching played a crucial role in guiding me along my career path.

Jason is an absolutely phenomenal college counselor and mentor. When it comes to his work ethic, Jason is always focused, meticulous, and prepared. College applications were incredibly stressful for me when I had to manage schoolwork and extracurriculars on top of it, but Jason was always incredibly helpful in breaking things down into manageable steps, and empowering me to get things done with his assistance. He always helped me, but never did tasks for me, encouraging me to build those skills myself with his assistance. The dedicated energy that he brings to each call makes them incredibly productive. On top of that, Jason always took his time to get to know myself and his other students. He makes sure to truly understand each student's personality, interests, and work habits to incorporate them into both working strategies and the overall narrative that he helps students build in their college applications. Finally, Jason is a wonderful friend, in addition to all of his skills. He made sure to befriend his students, to talk to them and support them during such a hectic time in their lives, and to share a few laughs and anecdotes in-between the serious and pressing work. He has been an invaluable presence in my life, as both a mentor and as a friend, and I could not recommend him highly enough. Thank you for everything that you do, Jason :)

He possesses the expertise, dedication, and passion needed to help others achieve their professional goals.

I cannot thank Krysta enough for all the support she has given me throughout undergrad and while applying to medical school. Her tips, advice, and support allowed me to feel less stressed while writing my personal statement and more confident going into interviews. Krysta is amazing at what does and her help is a great resource to students/applicants.

Julia was my counselor/manager at EY and has mentored me beyond - I've always appreciated her guidance and advice!

I met Sarthak six months into my role during a training session, and he has been a remarkable mentor ever since. As I approach my third year at IBM, Sarthak's consistent and conscious efforts have been instrumental in my success, both professionally and personally. His guidance has been invaluable, whether through recommending courses, advising on client interactions, or supporting my pursuit of higher education. Sarthak's mentorship has been crucial to my development as a successful sales engineer. His willingness to help others and his selflessness are qualities that will undoubtedly ensure his continued success in the years to come.

Sabine was so helpful when sharing her experience about the application process! She was very informative about navigating the journey, providing helpful resources, and the timeline. She was so lovely to work with and a great resource overall!

Dimitri was instrumental in helping me get into Harvard Business School. His detailed reviews transformed my essays into compelling stories, making my thoughts shine. Dimitri’s intense and thorough interview preparation, which perfectly mimicked the actual interviews, gave me the confidence I needed. His guidance and support were invaluable throughout the entire process, I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to apply to top MBA programs.

I cannot say enough about how helpful Lucie has been to my career. She has been a mentor for me across 3 companies and 7 years. Lucie was the first person to ask me what excited me about my job, and helped me find a team that might get me excited to come into work. She has always been there to help me navigate difficult conversations and push me to ask for what I deserve at work. I have loved working with Lucie, (at two separate companies!) and would work at any company again with her in a heartbeat. She is the coworker everyone loves to work with and adds value wherever she is.
