Sam is everything you want in a coach and a friend. She combines sharp, structured case coaching with genuine personal support, checking in on life outside recruiting and recognizing that both business prep and personal wellbeing share the same 24 hours. Her ability to cover the full breadth of consulting frameworks while going deep on specifics made learning feel manageable and clear. She also takes the time to understand you as a person, which makes the sessions comfortable and accelerates growth. I highly recommend her. She is a major reason I landed BCG coming from community college, and she is worth every dollar

I’ve known Akon for years as both a friend and someone I trust for serious, no-nonsense guidance. As a coach, he’s exceptional at three things: first, he quickly identifies your real strengths and keeps them at the center of every decision instead of letting you play small. Second, he helps you articulate your vision in a way that’s clear to others and to yourself, turning vague ambitions into a focused, compelling story you can use with recruiters, investors, or admissions committees. Third, he’s very good at mapping you to concrete opportunities that fit your goals while also pushing you to raise your ambition to match your true capabilities. With a deep technical background in engineering, plus experience in management, consulting, business school, and public policy, he moves fluently between technical and non-technical worlds. He has studied at elite institutions in Europe and the US, in French, Dutch, and English, and has worked with co-founders from Africa, China, and the US. Combined with his experience recruiting for an MBB firm (Bain), this makes him an ideal coach for consulting recruiting, technical recruiting, gaining admission to top graduate programs, and entrepreneurship. If you’re serious about leveling up and willing to be challenged, Akon is the kind of coach who will see your potential clearly and refuse to let you aim below it.

I worked with Patrick on various AI-related and partnership projects. He is a solid expert and helped me refine my strategic offer as a Fractional Head of Partnerships. He also gave me excellent advice on how to use AI on a daily basis to save time within my partner ecosystem. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to build or refine their partnership strategy, or to implement AI within their existing partner ecosystem.

Jiya is a knowledgeable, insightful, and kind coach who has helped me navigate a very stressful job search. She coached me through choosing my next steps and deciding between being a chief of staff, working in strategy and ops, or jumping into VC, leveraging her wealth of experience at Citi and as an investor working with early-stage startups across various industries. She is compassionate and sharp, and you could instantly tell she wanted to be the sessions to be as fruitful as possible. I would recommend her to anyone doing interview prep or starting out on their job search!

Carin went above and beyond on helping me over multiple years to get into my dream MBA schools. She helped with creating a compelling narrative for my career for the admissions essays, interview prep, and also my waitlist strategy to get me off the waitlist. Im confident I would not have gotten in without her help and support.
