I came to Emmanuel with a ‘non-typical’ background for consulting, struggling to tell my story in a way that would land with top firms. Emmanuel’s support was tailored to my needs. He took the time to understand my specific background, my motivations, and what made me different. He then helped me shape that into a narrative I felt confident and genuinely proud of. His experience in delivering and teaching cases was evident from his thorough and supportive approach. Emmanuel was invested in seeing me succeed. I walked away with offers from BCG and ZS Associates.

Jordan worked closely with my daughter Rhea during her college application process in high school. Jordan was incredibly thoughtful and strategic in guiding her through the process — from helping shape her story to giving practical advice on positioning her application. His mentorship played a meaningful role in helping Rhea gain admission to Johns Hopkins University, where she was also selected as a Hodson Scholar. What stood out most about Jordan was his ability to balance encouragement with honest, constructive guidance. He really took the time to understand Rhea’s strengths and helped her present them authentically. I’d strongly recommend Jordan to any student or family navigating the college admissions process. His insight, dedication, and mentorship truly make a difference.

I reached out to David when I felt completely stuck trying to break into more competitive roles in tech as an international U.S. professional. What impressed me immediately was how incredibly strategic he was. Instead of just giving resume tips, he helped me rethink my entire career positioning — from the types of roles I should pursue to how my unconventional background (and even my perceived weaknesses!) could be framed as a strength. After our conversations, I had a clear strategy for approaching top tech companies that I never had before and eventually landed my dream job at NVIDIA! I would have never in a million years done this without David's help. His combination of experience at companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla, along with his understanding of immigration realities, makes his guidance incredibly invaluable. In my opinion, he's second to none, especially for international professionals.

Christine was an exceptional advisor throughout my MBA application process. From the very beginning, she helped put my head in the right place, encouraging me to approach the process proactively and confidently, which made a huge difference in how I was able to present my story. She consistently gave the right advice, even when it was tough to hear, and her feedback always made the application stronger. On top of that, she was incredibly available and supportive at every stage of the process. With her guidance, I was admitted to my target program at Columbia Business School, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone applying to top MBA programs.

Jay takes a thoughtful approach to coaching and mentorship. He helps candidates think through the best paths for them and then assists in building a roadmap to accomplish those goals. I’m very grateful for Jay’s help and support and would not be where I am today without his guidance.

A passionate and disciplined leader!

As an Indian applicant with no major brand name in my resume, I was always doubtful of my chances of getting into a T15 B-school and was aiming for T20/T25 instead. Speaking with Sridhar removed that doubt and motivated me to aim higher. Regarding Sridhar, the things I liked about working with him are his clarity of mind and his knowledge of how to frame both the personal and professional journey in the MBA context. Sridhar’s support was there throughout the entire journey, starting from which schools to target for my intended post-MBA goals till the interview stage, wherein he gave school-specific advice for interviews and conducted multiple mock interviews for each school. For me, the biggest pro of working with Sridhar is the amount of time Sridhar is willing to spend to ensure that the application is as optimal as it could be. I would recommend prospective MBA students to work with Sridhar, as working with him and getting his perspective will not only improve your chances of getting an admit but also getting a positive outcome post B-school.

Jay is hands down one of the best mentors you could ask for. He helped me take my own story and refine it into something that felt authentic to me, but also clear enough to land in an interview room. His feedback was always very kind and direct, which gave me the advice I needed to improve in a way that felt encouraging. Jay has always been there for me, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys helping people on their journey. He’s truly in your corner every step of the way. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more!

Jack helped me navigate my transition from a strategy role into a product manager role while we worked together at LinkedIn. I'm always appreciative of his ability to guide me to ask the right questions, whether that's on our latest strategy doc or as I prepared for product interviews. Jack is kind, very, very thoughtful as a product thinker, and has extensive operations and process improvement experience as well. He is a great coach and would be helpful to anyone trying to land their next play in tech/product. More important, he is so fun to talk to and will make you feel very comfortable.

Ify provided incredible interview and timeline guidance that helped me gain admissions to elite prep schools. She walked me through every step of the application process and ensured that I never got lost. Her feedback helped beyond essays and her waitlist strategy worked!
