Private Equity Coaches, Events, and Resources

I broke into private equity at 19, landed an investment banking job offer mid-flight, and joined KKR straight out of undergrad. Since then, I’ve led ~$3B in deals across buyout, growth, and venture, working directly with founders, CEOs, and billion-dollar funds. I know how to navigate high-stakes, prestige-driven environments without losing your edge. I’m especially passionate about helping non-target, underrepresented, and ambitious students shortcut the learning curve, land top roles, and carry themselves with both confidence and clarity. I don’t just teach how to break in—I show you how to belong once you're in.

With years of experience at top-tier firms like Blackstone and KKR, I’m here to help you navigate the competitive world of private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds. I’ve worked across the entire investment process—sourcing deals, conducting due diligence, managing portfolio companies, prepping and leading board meetings, and raising capital from LPs—so I understand the skills and nuances required to land and succeed in these coveted roles. Together, we’ll develop a personalized strategy to help you achieve your buy-side career goals. Ready to take the next step? Reach out, and let’s get started!
