When I was applying to Fulbright ETA, I asked for Justin's help in reviewing my personal statement and statement of grant purpose. He was extremely thoughtful in not only reviewing the contents of my application but really taking the time to work with me to build a clearer “why” for my application. He was structured, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. After spending the year inTaiwan, I'm so incredibly grateful for the opportunity and for Justin's help in getting me there.

Back when I was interviewing for Product Manager roles ~2 years ago, I was lucky to have a handful of PMs I had worked with run mock product design cases with me. I remember Justin's mock interview being particularly useful as he gave really tangible feedback and great advice on how to work on my gaps. It certainly contributed to my success in passing Uber's PM interview process and landing a PM role there :)

Gaurav is the coach who fundamentally changed the way I think and solve problems. I reached out to him during my MS program with almost no real case interview experience. In just a few weeks, his masterclass-style approach transformed how I think, structure, and solve problems. What makes Gaurav exceptional is his focus on building a true consulting mindset—not memorizing frameworks, but developing a repeatable methodology that works even for the most conceptual partner-round cases. He tailored every session to my strengths and weaknesses. I was strong analytically but struggled with brainstorming, and he pushed me with targeted cases that drastically improved my creative problem solving. Equally important, his PEI coaching was outstanding—he helped me refine my stories, focus on my real actions, highlight impact, and show vulnerability in the right way. Thanks to his guidance, I not only cracked McKinsey but also performed extremely well in interviews at firms like Simon-Kucher, BCG, and even in product management interview loops. His support continued beyond interviews—he helped me prepare for my first 90 days in consulting and later guided me as I transitioned into strategy and business transformation roles. Gaurav isn’t just a coach—he’s a long-term mentor who elevates your thinking, confidence, and career. I wholeheartedly recommend him

Working toward a doctorate while juggling work, life, and every ambition I’m chasing isn’t a light lift and Dr. McKoy has been one of the rare steady hands helping me keep the whole mission moving forward. Her guidance didn’t just make the doctoral process easier; it made it sustainable. She built workflow structures that helped me stay on top of every assignment, even when my schedule looked like a mosaic of competing priorities. She stepped in with clarity when my dissertation felt like a mountain, offering direction that kept the work sharp, manageable, and aligned with my long-term goals. Before that, she even played a key role in guiding me toward the right MBA program a decision that shaped my academic journey long before the PhD chapters began. Simply put, Dr. McKoy has been an anchor and an accelerator: easing the pressure, sharpening the path, and helping me stay focused in a season where excellence is the only option on the table.

When I was working on my Schwarzman application, Justin was the person I turned to the most. He helped me figure out my story, pushed me to be clearer and essentially more honest with myself and in my writing, honestly made the process felt less overwhelming. What I appreciate most is how grounded Justin is. He listens, asks thoughtful questions, and gives guidance that feels both practical and caring. These recent months reminded me how lucky I am to have him in my corner! Justin is really wise without being intimidating, and always, always sincere.

I have worked closely with Matt, and he brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, operational rigor, and genuine care for his clients. He’s exceptional at breaking down complex business or admissions challenges into clear, actionable steps. His feedback is direct, insightful, and grounded in real experience analyzing companies, crafting pitch decks, and guiding candidates. Anyone who works with him will level up fast.

Working with Erica has been one of the most transformative parts of my career journey navigating the U.S. job market. From the start, she was accommodating, approachable, and genuinely invested in my success. She advocated for me, supported me, and consistently went above and beyond. Erica has a remarkable ability to recognize potential and connect you to the right opportunities. Whenever she found a role, resource, or professional contact aligned with my goals, she immediately thought of me. She opened doors to people in the legal field who have now become mentors and long-term career connections. Through every step, she offered encouragement, practical insight, and reminders of my strengths. She turned an overwhelming process into something manageable and motivating. Anyone fortunate enough to work with Erica will gain not only expert guidance, but a dedicated advocate truly committed to their success.

Zach offers the rare combination of brilliance and superior patience. I've worked with him for over 5 years, and I've always been impressed with his writing skills from policy analysis to op-eds, to creative projects. Zach is an incredible sounding board when I've beeen making life decisions; he assisted me with coaching, writing materials, and interview prep, and has helped me land multiple roles.

Jerry was the one who introduced me to the world of consulting and helped me land my first consulting offer at LEK with his strong casing fundamentals and behavioral interview skills. Since then, he’s been an amazing mentor for me for all things consulting, recruiting, and even applying to business school. Would definitely recommend working with him if possible!
