MBB to Finance (IB, VC, PE) - talk to someone who's actually done it all
I’ve navigated—and succeeded in—recruiting for nearly every major finance path from a consulting background: investment banking (J.P. Morgan M&A), private equity (Bain Capital), venture capital (early- and growth-stage roles in the U.S. and Korea), and hedge funds. What sets me apart is not just that I’ve explored these paths, but that I’ve actually worked in them, executed real deals, and seen how teams operate from the inside out. I was also part of a founding team that successfully raised a $100M inaugural VC fund—giving me firsthand insight into the economics, strategy, and long-term viability of building an investment platform.
Having worked across North America and Asia, I bring a global perspective—why the U.S. market might make sense for some and not others, how to position yourself as an international candidate, and how to realistically assess your competitiveness across firms. I also coach candidates on the decision to pursue an MBA and how it plays into different finance career paths: when it adds leverage, when it doesn’t, and how to maximize its value depending on your goals.
If you’re coming from MBB (as I did at BCG) or another non-finance background and you’re curious about breaking into finance—but unsure which direction to take—I offer clear, candid, and deeply informed guidance. My strength lies in helping you evaluate the big picture: not just how to break in, but whether you should, and what trade-offs each path entails—from compensation and lifestyle to long-term optionality. With experience at J.P. Morgan, Bain Capital, Northern Light VC, and BCG, I combine insider insight with practical coaching to help you chart the best course and execute with confidence. Whether you’re targeting IB, PE, VC, growth equity, or hedge funds, I’m here to help you get in—and make the most of it once you’re there.
