Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

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

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in investment banking and private equity, I bring a wealth of experience to help you break into the competitive world of finance. I began my career as an analyst at J.P. Morgan, where I honed my skills in M&A and regional investment banking, and have since advanced to senior roles at firms like Stellex Capital Management and Southfield Mezzanine. My journey has equipped me with deep insights into the industry, which I leverage to coach aspiring professionals. Whether you're preparing for interviews or seeking guidance on career strategy, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and chart your path to success in investment banking!

With direct investment banking and investing experience across multiple sectors, I bring a well-rounded perspective to help you target and excel in specialized groups. At Lazard, I worked directly on Media & Telecommunications mandates, gaining firsthand exposure to the strategic and financial nuances of the industry. I also supported several Restructuring (RX) engagements during my internship, giving me practical experience with distressed situations and debt advisory, and I’ve since helped clients successfully place into top restructuring groups at elite boutiques. In addition, I gained Financial Institutions Group (FIG) experience through my work on an insurance-focused private equity investment, developing a strong understanding of how investors and banks evaluate capital-intensive, regulated businesses. Beyond traditional coverage groups, I’ve recruited for and coached candidates into Energy investment banking, having gone through the Houston recruiting process myself and understanding both the technical depth and industry-specific expectations of those roles. I also bring experience in Software, having worked on a growth-stage software investment and successfully coached multiple clients into leading software-focused growth equity and private equity firms. This cross-sector exposure allows me to provide tailored coaching not only on technical and market-specific preparation, but also on how to differentiate yourself for specialized groups. Whether you are targeting Media & Telecom, FIG, Energy, Software, or Restructuring, I can help you craft a compelling story, sharpen your technicals, and position yourself as a top candidate.

Hi, I'm Ali, a former Goldman Sachs investment banker now working in private equity. I recruited through the process recently myself, so I know exactly what today's pipeline looks like, not the version from ten years ago. Over the past few years I've mentored hundreds of students as VP of my university's finance club and across multiple years of classes I've taught. My mentees have landed offers at JPMorgan, Perella Weinberg, Morgan Stanley, Goldman, and more. I know what breaks candidates through — and I'll help you get there.

I bring a wealth of experience to help you break into the competitive world of finance. I began my career as an Investment Banking Analyst at J.P. Morgan, focused largely on TMT deals. After banking, I moved to Bain Capital where I worked in tech private equity & growth investing and then Squarepoint Capital, a large hedge fund where I managed a book of software stocks and oversaw our private growth investing efforts. I have since decided to work on my own endeavor, having raised capital and launched a private investment firm focused on down-market acquisitions of B2B businesses. I've always enjoyed spending time mentoring and have recently decided to do it more formally. Looking forward to connecting on your goals & aspirations!

I have interviewed with and secured investment banking offers from six different banks, including both bulge bracket and prominent boutique firms, before starting my role as an analyst at Deutsche Bank. Following a year at Deutsche Bank, I transitioned to J.P. Morgan, where I dedicated four years to the M&A team, where I assessed numerous internship and full-time analyst and associate applications. I've covered: tech, industrials, consumer.

I’m a non-target success story who beat the odds and secured investment banking offers at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Bank of America. I now help other students from non-traditional backgrounds break into top-tier IB roles through sharp resume edits, story crafting, technical prep, and networking strategies that actually convert into interviews. If you're grinding from a non-target school, I’ve walked that path — and I’ll help you crack the code. All coaching with me comes with complimentary technical documents and models.
