Arno was one of the most impactful mentors I had for experienced-hire recruiting. What made his guidance uniquely credible is that he has lived this path himself, moving from industry into McKinsey, so he understands the real questions, doubts, and biases experienced candidates can face. He helped me build a clear strategy across the entire process, from focused networking to structured case prep, and especially how to position a non-traditional background as a true advantage. His coaching made the process feel less opaque and a lot more winnable.

Matthew is currently helping me prep for my upcoming interviews and is a fantastic resource, having helped me land my current role. He's a fantastic resource and knowledgeable in the FP&A/consulting industries. Great help!

Mary Rose has a great talent for writing. This translated into very powerful admissions essays which helped her have great results when applying to business school. She also helped me write my application essays and secure my spot in a top school.

Tom was an invaluable source of guidance and support during a period of transition in my career. Not only did he help me see beyond self-imposed limitations, he also helped me to understand where my strengths and unique professional experiences would be most impactful in alternative industries and how to frame them during the interview process. Even years later I still find myself returning to his advice.

Mary Rose has been a trusted advisor to me for 5+ years. She’s brilliant, generous, and honest — everything you want in a coach. She’s a particularly talented story-teller and leverages that strength for essay edits, mock interviews, and everything in between.

I reported to Pat Ferdig while at hybris (now part of SAP). We collaborated to build out the hybris Extend ISV marketplace. At the time, I was completely new to the ISV and partner world. Patrick mentored and coached me as I came up to speed on the ins and outs of partner business, starting me down a path that eventually led to me starting my own company. It is not hyperbolic to say I would not be were I am in my career without Pat.

Andrea is extremely practical and enjoyable to work with. He kept me focused while I was handling a demanding job, making the whole process simple, motivating, and well-structured. I asked him to take care of the entire application process across four universities, and he absolutely delivered. On top of that, he always knew how to get the very last bit of energy out of me and keep me moving forward, even in the toughest moments. Talking about the GMAT, he helped me understand the bigger “game” behind it, which made improving my performance very smooth and natural. On a side note, after the journey, we’ve stayed in touch; having him around as a person is invaluable! He’s a great listener, extremely sharp, and always quick witted!

Christina is an exceptional coach. During our time together at SUNY FIT, she led a strengths-based leadership program for 50+ students, coached them directly, and trained a team of professionals to continue the work long after the retreat ended. She is compassionate, inspiring, and an incredible listener and communicator. Christina even supported me in my transition from higher ed to corporate, with nothing to gain except helping a former colleague succeed. You want Christina in your corner!!!!

I went to business school with Christina, and she’s one of the most influential and engaging speakers I know. She communicates clearly, motivates naturally, and connects easily with people. She’s also a thoughtful listener with great instincts for helping others identify their strengths and direction. With her mix of empathy, strategic thinking, and genuine leadership, Christina will make an outstanding career coach. Highly recommended.

Kesan brings clarity and actionable steps to the highly complex consulting/MBA process. He always answered my questions (even the stupid ones) in full with details, links/material for more learning and patience. I would 100% recommend him as a coach.
