Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

As close to the real final round experience as you can possibly get! Leveraging real final round prep cases utilized in prior cycles, you will get authentic final round mock practice (with case, behaviorals, or both), as well as detailed, line-by-line feedback on what went well vs. what didn't, how you would have scored if it was a real interview, and actionable and specific advice on how to improve on any development areas. As an Associate Partner at Bain & Co., I've been leading final round interviews for Associate Consultant and Consultant roles for the past ~7 years, and I know exactly how consulting firms think about their selection process, and how you can stand out in a competitive field. I know how transformative a career in consulting can be. I also know firsthand how difficult and stressful it can be to go through the interview process, which is becoming more competitive each year. Getting an offer at a premier consulting firm takes more than just dozens of practice consulting cases - understanding exactly what the firms are looking for, and how to hit exactly those points - can be the difference between success and failure. I look forward to helping you start your career in consulting!

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in management consulting and product management, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier firms like McKinsey & Company and Amazon. At McKinsey, I honed my skills in defining strategic roadmaps and conducting technical due diligence, which are crucial for mastering the consulting interview process. My time at Amazon further sharpened my ability to drive data-driven decision-making and strategic product development. I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants navigate the challenging recruitment landscape, offering comprehensive coaching in case interviews, behavioral interviews, and application strategy. Let's connect to tailor a plan that will help you break into your dream consulting role!

Management consulting at a top-tier firm can supercharge your career, but getting in can be a daunting process, especially if you come from a non-traditional background. I'm here to help! Leveraging three years at Bain on the "other side" of recruiting, I provide coaching for the entire recruiting process, from networking strategy and resume reviews to case and behavioral interview prep. A little bit about me: I spent three years at Bain & Company as a consultant and manager, after graduating from Michigan Ross with my MBA. I was heavily involved in recruiting at Bain: I was an on-campus recruiter for Pride @ Bain nationally, conducted undergraduate (associate consultant) interviews, supervised interns across Bain's Summer Associate, BASE, and ADvantage programs, and authored an MBA interview case. I've conducted over 300 mock consulting case interviews during my time at Bain and Ross, and I've successfully coached several individuals in getting MBB offers, many from non-traditional backgrounds.

As an ex-BCG Project Leader and Interviewer, I'm intimately familiar with the consulting interview process, spanning from case to behavioral interviews. I was President of Consulting Prep for both Wharton's Consulting Club (MBA) and UT Austin's Consulting club (Undergrad), through which I've developed a "ground up" approach to building specific core consulting interview skills, then integrating them into a strong overall case interviewing muscle. My approach has garnered significant positive feedback and recognition, resulting in helping over 200 mentees achieve offers at top firms. For my efforts, I was awarded the Career Mentorship award at Wharton. I am fortunate to still have strong contact with many of my mentees, nearly all of whom have gone on great careers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Deloitte, and Accenture (as well as other firms). Several of these mentees have gone on to achieve great post-consulting careers as well, ranging from Private Equity, to Tech Product Management, to Corporate Strategy I break down my feedback on each case interview into 5 areas, and give detailed, actionable feedback on each: Clarification, Frameworking, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and Synthesis. This approach has been strongly validated by mentees and resulted in offers across all top firms. My foundations-first approach has led to being named a Leland Top 10 Management Consulting Coach in 2025, as well as a Top 50 coach across all disciplines in 2024.

Why you should work with me: ◆ I was part of Bain's interview team and know exactly what it takes to break into MBBs (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) ◆ In the summer/fall 2025 cycle for undergrad and MBA hiring, my candidates landed the following offers: Bain (10), McKinsey (4), BCG (3), LEK (3), Kearney (1) ◆ I've coached for over 1,000 hours, have the most sessions run of any Management Consulting coach on Leland, and have helped candidates land 150+ offers at MBBs and similar firms ◆ I've developed a comprehensive coaching system built on targeted learning/drills for every case element (includes take-home resources and in-session drills) – which is far more effective than only running full cases both in terms of the time it takes for candidates to come up the learning cure and the level to which they perform ◆ I work with candidates at every stage of the process – for some it's ~1-3 cases to polish before a final round, whereas for many it's a ~2-4 month fully-comprehensive partnership that covers all elements (networking, resume, cover letter, applications, interview prep, etc.) ◆ I'm 100% bought in on my clients' success – I love this work and put just as much of my heart into the process as my candidates do (and sometimes more 😀) Clients often report that I'm the coach who says what other coaches are unwilling to say – whether that's providing a fully transparent assessment of where they're falling short, addressing a lack of confidence, or correcting a tendency to use language that's overly forced and formal. I address whatever needs to be addressed to give my candidates the best chance of landing their dream job. My style is direct, honest, and deeply supportive! And I love to laugh too.

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.
