Transitioning into a new role can be both exciting and scary. During my first 90 days in my new role, Inna graciously opened her door to help coach me through this period, offering invaluable advice and positive reassurance. She is a great listener, provides actionable career advice, and takes a transparent approach that makes learning from her easy and impactful. I feel fortunate to have Inna at Genesys, as her guidance has been instrumental in helping me build confidence and grow in my career.

Pranav helped me immeasurably with changing jobs and landing my dream role in growth marketing at a top-tier startup. Before, I was working at a startup that had poor leadership and it was impacting my ability to progress and learn in my career. I knew I wanted something more for myself and I had good foundational skills that could be applied anywhere. Pranav helped me to define my story to showcase my potential, rewrite my resume to convey my outcomes instead of tasks, and did interview prep with me to answer questions to the best of my ability. After everything, I successfully landed my dream role with an incredible team, leadership, and industry. And, I doubled (yes, doubled) my salary — all with the help of his guidance and input throughout my job search.

Brian has been an outstanding colleague, mentor and professional resource at Rutgers where we designed a coaching curriculum together and at Quantuvos where we designed group coaching modules on leadership for several major US Companies. He's leveraged my background in his innovative podcast series to offer "bite-sized" insights to leaders. Insightful, empathic, and resilient, Brian is also an expert in managing change at the individual and organizational level.

I started looking for MBA admission consultants after I took my GMAT. Not only was my score below the average of the schools I was aiming for, but also I did not have a clear personal branding strategy to make my application competitive. Greg helped me tremendously throughout the process. He was very responsive and efficient and was always able to give me very helpful and insightful feedback for each draft of my essay and resume. Greg helped me craft my story, and ensure that I was conveying the most impactful examples throughout my essays and resume. I would highly recommend Greg.

Varun's business acumen is truly unmatched. He is sharp and sophisticated and being able to learn from him has always been incredibly inspiring and motivating. As a start-up founder I loved running some of our growth ideas by Varun and getting his insights into the right go-to-market approach. He has also helped me navigate co-founder conflict, helped with various 'business fires' and introduced me to several, relevant investors - which I have had follow-up conversations since then. Truly an inspiring leader and mentor!

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with insight into the industry. Can give targeted advice to people based on their background and strengths. Genuine and honest person who likes to help others.

Nate simplified complexities during times of difficulty and change when we needed it most. Identifying gaps and opportunities while providing a path forward. Nate is someone that leads with empathy while still delivering results. Any organization would be lucky to have him on their team.

I had the pleasure of working with Deep during his time as a Harvard Business School Fellow at the Boston Planning and Development Agency (now City of Boston Planning Dept.). Deep's detail-oriented approaches and commitment to offering a comprehensive final product makes him an absolute powerhouse in any professional setting. Beyond that, what I admire most about Deep is his impact on others and the overwhelming devotion he holds for helping those within his network.

Joe helped me create a plan as I was changing careers. He coached me to realize transferable skills from my previous career for my resume that helped me land an internship in my new career. He also gave me insights to help guide me through my first interviews in years. Joe’s coaching and career advise has been invaluable for me. I recommend anyone who is considering his services to talk to Joe. He can help you find the next steps in your journey!

The All-In-One Mentor/Consultant: Admitted To HBS, Wharton, Lauder, LBS, Booth Background: Asian Male (International) GPA: 3.5 from Top 20 U.S. university GMAT: 740 Why I chose Avanti Prep: Speaking with friends attending M7 schools, I noticed all of them had used MBA consultants... so I decided to follow the trend. I scheduled more than five calls with different firms to assess my profile. Most of the consultants barely looked at the details of my profile and superficially jumped to the conclusion that M7 would be pretty difficult. After talking to a handful of consultants and only having Greg's call left, I had pretty much made up my mind about signing up with the most premium consulting firm. I thought this would be the safer choice. But... when I got on the call with Greg, my mind changed. He started asking me questions about my career moves and background and really dived into the details. He then discussed with me the strategy and how to bring my unique stories to life. I felt like the other consultants were just inputting me into their cookie-cutter framework by looking at my stats, whereas Greg was trying to really get to the crux of my value and uniqueness. Working with Greg: I signed up for the Tier 3 package for 4 schools originally and then added 5 additional schools. Greg was exceptional and truly transformational in all aspects: selecting schools, helping me contemplate my background and connecting the dots, ideation of goals, resume, essays, and everything else. Greg has a keen sense where he can really squeeze the best personal and professional stories out of you, and he teaches you to deliver them in a way that really resonates with the reader. He was always readily available, and I felt as if he was a good mentor and a friend I had known for a while. We would talk about non-MBA-related stuff as well. Although the MBA process was gruesome, and I do not ever want to do it again, it was awesome working with him -- I honestly could not have done it without him. Interview Prep: Also, I cannot thank Greg enough for the interview preparation. I'm the kind of guy who loves to just "wing it," but Greg really coached me on the best practices and tremendously improved my interview skills. The interview preparation was super tailored to each school and to me. Greg’s feedback was on-point, and he really helped me nail all the different kinds of interviews, plus the HBS post-interview reflection essay, Booth interview video, and LBS mini-case. I remember for my last interview, I had lost all motivation, but he helped me push through to the end. Results: I will let the results speak for themselves. I received invitations for interviews from 6 out of the 9 schools (M7, Lauder, LBS.) Of the 6 interviews, I was accepted to HBS, Wharton, Lauder, LBS, and Booth, and I received scholarships for 2 schools. The final result is a dream come true. Greg was awesome, and I really don't think I could have accomplished this without him. I also want to take this opportunity to pat my past self on the back for choosing Greg. To sum it up, Greg is a personable, skillful, and sharp mentor and friend, and I would highly recommend him to anybody.
