Investment Banking Coaches, Events, and Resources

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!

- Elite Placement Record: My mentees have landed offers at Centerview, Goldman Sachs, Qatalyst, Evercore, Moelis, Bank of America, and many others. I prepare you to clear the highest technical bars set by elite boutiques and top-tier bulge brackets. - Technical Authority: I leverage 4+ years of Cloud Strategy experience to teach you how to analyze data center infrastructure and software trends. You will learn to discuss tech thesis points with the depth of a refined sector analyst. - Structured Communication: As a former national debater, I train you to deliver concise, pyramid-structured answers. We focus on executive-level polish to ensure you sound "client-ready" from Day 1. - Insider Intelligence: My active network across top firms provides real-time intel on cultural nuances and interview formats. I prepare you for the specific questions your target bank is currently asking.

I coach aspiring investment bankers with firsthand experience landing highly competitive roles at top bulge-bracket firms in New York. I secured investment banking positions at Citigroup (Healthcare) and Morgan Stanley (Media & Telecom) — both with return offers — giving me a deep understanding of what it takes to break into the industry at the highest level. Having gone through the recruiting process myself, I know exactly how firms evaluate candidates, what distinguishes a top performer, and how to prepare effectively for each stage of the process. In addition to my own banking experience, I understand the full finance career arc, including how candidates can position themselves early for a strong private equity exit. I bring a structured, human-centric approach to coaching, helping candidates master technical skills, refine their narrative, and navigate recruiting with clarity and confidence. Whether you're aiming for your first internship, a full-time offer, or a strategic exit into PE, I’ll help you prepare with the precision and insight the industry demands.

I have recruited for both investment banking and undergraduate private equity summer roles, starting my recruiting journey at community college while transferring and navigating the challenges of being an asylee without permanent status. I understand the difficulties of recruiting with a GPA of 3.33, limited industry knowledge, being a diversity candidate, feeling uncertain about how to stand out, and dealing with others' uncertainty about you. I am pleased with being able to land a 2025 Summer Analyst role at Barclays NY. Currently, I am a current student at BYU, majoring in Finance with a minor in Computer Science. My focus is not solely on helping you find your ideal career path, but on identifying the firm that aligns with your values, aptitude, and skills, where you will thrive and shine. I encourage you to think long-term about your goals and guide you in recognizing how to achieve them by understanding the different options and their associated risks and rewards.

I was an Investment Banking Associate at Goldman Sachs for four years (2018-2022), where I worked in both capital markets and the Consumer & Retail group. I am happy to help with resume reviews, technical skills and interview prep, as well as providing general advice on careers in the industry and how best to strategize the recruiting process. Whether you’re just starting out or preparing for specific roles, I’m here to offer personalized insights and strategies to support your career journey. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support you!

I was a senior associate in Investment Banking (FIG) at Goldman Sachs in London, where I worked on strategic and advisory projects for financial institutions across EMEA, building my skills in financial modelling and valuation analysis. I've also co-founded initiatives and advised entrepreneurs through Antler, a global VC firm. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I was nominated to tutor in business and international economy courses. I'm passionate about helping people from underprivileged or non-traditional backgrounds break into this often opaque industry and figure out if it's the right fit for them. Let’s chat!

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 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.

With 10 years of experience in Investment Banking and Private Equity, including my time as an Associate at Goldman Sachs and Director of M&A at Fanatics, I bring a wealth of experience to help you break into the competitive world of finance. I’ve had the privilege of coaching over 200 students on career preparation, interview techniques, and overall career development, helping them secure roles at top firms like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, and JPMorgan. During my time at Goldman, I conducted over 150 interviews for analyst and associate positions and led training programs for new hires, giving me a deep understanding of what top firms are looking for in candidates. I also have a passion for mentorship, having worked with organizations like MLT and Modern Guild, where I’ve guided 50+ students through resume reviews, interview preparation, and mock interviews tailored to banking and private equity roles. I specialize in helping students refine their answers, build confidence, and master the technical skills needed to excel in high-stakes interviews. Whether you’re preparing for your first interview or looking to refine your approach, I’m here to help you succeed!
