Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in investment analysis and venture capital, I bring a wealth of experience to help you break into the competitive world of investment banking. As an Investment Associate at Mount Judi Ventures, I focus on Consumer and B2B Tech-Enabled Services, and have previously worked on deals in Consumer and Healthcare. I hold a CFA designation, which further solidifies my expertise in financial analysis and investment strategies. Whether you're looking to refine your resume, master technical interviews, or understand the nuances of the industry, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart your path to success in investment banking!

Group focus / specialty: Technology (TMT) My involvement with the investment banking industry began in 2018 when I secured three coveted early investment banking offers from top investment banks (e.g., J.P. Morgan, Barclays) before even stepping foot on campus for my MBA. I also landed multiple fellowships, such as the J.P. Morgan Early Advantage Fellowship, that translate into six-figure bonuses in addition to standard signing bonuses. For the last 5 recruiting cycles, I've leveraged my know-how to help a variety of applicants land investment banking and fellowships offers. At J.P. Morgan, I covered the technology sector in the investment bank and served as a Harvard and UChicago School Captain for campus recruiting. In the Captain role, I was heavily involved with interviewing at the firm and have a strong understanding of what it takes to build a compelling profile to land a top investment banking offer. My experience as a coach at the boutique MBA consulting firm Ivy Advisors and SEO Career has further honed my skills in mentorship and coaching. I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their educational and professional goals. I am especially helpful to investment banking applicants who are looking to: ◉ perfect their "why investment banking" story ◉ refine their technical interview skills ◉ land a spot on a coveted technology coverage group ◉ recruit for West Coast opportunities ◉ transition from a different industry ◉ develop a pitch for why they find a company or deal interesting and what the value proposition is there ◉ leverage their unique BIPOC and/or international lived experience ◉ compete for fellowships that provide significant payouts for summer and full-time joiners - especially for women, BIPOC, veterans, and LGBTQIA+ candidates

I worked for two years at Morgan Stanley in the Tech Banking Group in NYC under Jeff Hoffmeister and Michael Grimes. I worked on a number of IPO and M&A opportunities and made a successful jump to a VC / GE job in NYC investing in Series A/B Tech companies

I started out as a history major with no formal finance training—and I know exactly how daunting investment banking recruiting can feel when you’re not the “typical” candidate. But with the right preparation, I built the skills, learned how to tell my story, and went into recruiting with confidence. The result: I landed offers from every bank I interviewed with, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, and PJT Partners. Now, as a coach, I help others do the same. I work with candidates from all backgrounds to sharpen their resumes, master technicals step by step, and practice interviews until they feel ready for anything. Having also interviewed candidates for superdays, I know exactly what firms are looking for—and how you can stand out. My goal is to help you approach recruiting with the structure, preparation, and confidence you need to succeed.

Entering the competitive world of investment banking requires more than just academic achievements—it requires strategic planning, adept networking, and targeted action. As someone who secured 2 bulge bracket internship offers, attended multiple super days with both bulge bracket and elite boutique firms, and received full-time investment banking offers, I understand the ins and outs of this intensive process. Beyond my personal achievements, I served as the Head of the Investment Banking Group in UNC's Finance Society, where I reviewed resumes and coached dozens of students on how to break into banking. Whether it's crafting an impressive resume, acing behavioral interviews, or mastering the art of networking, I will provide you with the tailored strategies that helped me and countless others succeed. Let's together navigate the demanding path toward a successful career in investment banking. I'm here to equip you with the tools, strategies, and confidence you need to stand out in this dynamic field.

I am a Harvard MBA with Honors and was accepted out of UChicago as a 2+2 admit to HBS. I worked at Morgan Stanley out of college in the analyst program and became a Partner (Managing Director) for many years. I have coached investment banking for over a decade, and while I am new to Leland, I have coached over 1,000 candidates (I call them "coachees") into virtually all of the major investment banks, private equity, and venture capital firms. I coach internships and full time recruiting for undergraduates (from both target and non-target schools!), MBA recruiting, and also lateral candidates - transitioning from investment banking to private equity, for example, and on-cycle recruiting. My focus is on marketing collateral (resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn review), conducting outreach (using handshake and LinkedIn to reach recruiters), coaching behaviorals and technicals, and mock interviewing. The vast majority of my coachees receive offers!

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in the investment banking sector, including roles at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. My focus has been on TMT coverage, particularly in software and data analytics, which equips me with the insights needed to guide aspiring investment bankers. As a VP of Corporate Development at Instructure, I continue to leverage my expertise in strategic growth and partnerships. I have successfully coached 5 individuals, helping them navigate the competitive landscape of investment banking. If you're looking to break into this field, let's connect and craft a strategy tailored to your success!

I’m an investment banker with ~8 years of experience advising companies and sponsors on complex M&A, capital raises, and restructuring transactions across media, sports, consumer, and technology. I’ve worked at Citi, Three Ocean Partners, and currently LionTree, where I advise founders, executives, and investors on high-stakes transactions with real strategic and financial complexity. I also hold an MBA from Columbia Business School. I work with candidates not only on breaking into investment banking, but also on succeeding once they’re on the job. I help clients prepare for interviews, develop strong technical and deal discussion skills, and build confidence in financial modeling, valuation, and transaction structuring. For those already in seat, I also provide hands-on support with modeling, diligence, and thinking through how deals actually progress — from initial materials and outreach through execution and closing. My goal is to help clients think clearly, communicate crisply, and operate at a high level in real banking situations.

I graduated with a non-traditional finance degree (hotel administration) but successfully transitioned to investment banking, ultimately ranking top and heavily involved in recruiting for summer interns at Moelis. I have experience of working with 60+ clients and mentees; I'm confident that I can help you land an offer through customized interview prep. Coaching sessions with me will come with complementary documents and guides that will help you with both qualitative and quantitative questions that will be asked during your investment banking interviews. So far, I have 100% internship placement rate with clients who had at least 3 sessions with me.
