Alec is the best of the best at helping hungry underdogs succeed. While on active duty in the Marine Corps, I met Alex at a Veterans Recruiting Day at Wharton's MBA program. Alec was the President of the Wharton Veterans Club at that time. Friendly, warm, sincere, and insightful in person, Alec was instrumental in supporting my application process and eventual acceptance to and enrollment in Wharton's MBA program over the next year and a half. Following the recruiting day, Alec stayed in touch with me for the next year offering support and perspective on my application, resume, and essays. He was incredibly generous with his time. He responded promptly, directly, and thoroughly. His advice was tactical, actionable, and effective at every turn. Alec was particularly skilled at helping me think through my own "narrative," a concept I'd found challenging and hadn't quite considered before, still locked into a very robotic, military style of communicating my background and accomplishments. Alec pushed me to clearly understand and communicate the following in a coherent narrative: what are you doing now, where have you been, what do you want to do, and how does an MBA/ Wharton help you get there? Following a great experience at Wharton, I've gone on to PE Ops and am currently the CEO of a defense contractor in the DC area. Alec continues to be a great friend and mentor. He has my strongest recommendation.

I’ve seen Yael’s whole path: Stanford engineering, starting her own venture-backed startup, and now running a GTM consulting business that’s worked with dozens of startups. She’s well-networked in the startup ecosystem and has quickly become an expert on the latest GTM/AI tech stack. She’s the person I go to for advice on things like ICP discovery, and growth experimentation, even as a PM myself. Couldn’t recommend Yael more as a go to market engineering coach for Leland.

I've known, worked with and relied on Julian's career advice for over a decade. Due to his own experiences on the cutting edge of innovation and international consulting, he's able to connect with my own experiences and those of our young colleagues. He has the ability to access a rare sort of empathy to understand where I and others are in our career and then see what the pain points and personal gates are to step through.

Amy helped me prepare for interviews with various employers and I eventually landed a role in the Strategy & Analytics team at TikTok. She always came to the sessions prepared and offered valuable feedback! Her international experience positioned her well to support me articulate the value of my international work portfolio as well!

I was initially sceptical of "coaches" but having worked with Chery multiple times now, I'm glad I took a chance. I don't work in sales, so even selling myself doesn't come naturally. My objective was simple...to accelerate my career progression. Cheryl initially facilitated this through improving my self-awareness of what I desired. Then installing the confidence in myself and a meeting strategy with my directors to facilitate a conversation that I would have previously been to reserved to have. I can directly attribute the positive outcomes, whether that be a rise or promotion to Cheryl's coaching in each instance.

Luzy may have actually saved my college applications. She was especially good at helping me share my story in such a natural and genuine way. She made sure that by the time I submitted everything, I was actually proud of what I had put forward. I'm still grateful for how willing and patient she was. Thank you Lucy!

Luzy has tutored all of my 4 kids in various topics. She is incredibly talented and capable, but also has a passion and love for developing/mentoring kids and youth that makes her relatable, fun, comfortable to be with and extremely effective!! My oldest son was accepted to his university of choice with Luzy’s guidance. We are so grateful for Luzy🙌🏻

Sanjay is an excellent listener who customizes coaching sessions to align perfectly with your unique needs. His approach is highly personalized, steering clear of one-size-fits-all solutions, and thoughtfully adapted to each individual. He also emphasized the value of job shadowing as a powerful way to gain hands-on industry experience and build valuable connections. This is a toolset I’m excited to leverage extensively moving forward. Joe A.

It’s truly been an honor working with Jonathan – I directly attribute much of my own success to his mentorship and coaching over the last 5+ years we’ve worked together in Investment Banking. I first met Jonathan in 2019, when I was recruiting for a Summer Associate Investment Banking position. Jonathan’s guidance and support helped me successfully navigate the recruiting and internship phases to land a full-time position with the group. Since then, Jonthan has continued to provide support and guidance as I progressed from an Associate to Vice President. His attention to detail, integrity and leadership is unparalleled and would be a great value-add to any team.

Sanjay is an amazing coach that I've recommend to many of my close friends and work colleagues. His expertise isn't limited to just compliance and the financial industry. I'm in the software field, and he gave me practical, targeted feedback that helped me elevate my LinkedIn profile even more! I thought I already had my profile perfected, yet after he reviewed it, he was still able to point and suggest many more enhancements to make my profile stand out amongst the competition. Making it clearer, more impactful, and better aligned with my career goals. Beyond that, his coaching builds confidence and communication skills that have set me apart from other candidates through the job and client interview process.
