Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

If you're from an Ivy, do not reach out. I know what it takes to break into management consulting from a non-target background because I’ve done it myself. Coming from a Georgia State, without a built-in pipeline to MBB, I had to find my own path—learning how to network, tell my story, and master the consulting interview process. From a non-target university to McKinsey was not an obvious path, and it’s one I want to help others navigate with more confidence and clarity. That journey gave me a deep understanding of what it really takes to stand out when the odds aren’t in your favor.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in management consulting, I bring firsthand experience from my time as a Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, where I honed my skills in strategic problem-solving and client engagement. My journey also includes a role as a Product Operations Manager at Uber, where I further developed my expertise in operational strategy. I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants navigate the competitive landscape of management consulting applications, offering comprehensive support in case interview preparation, resume crafting, and behavioral interview coaching. Let's connect and work together to achieve your career goals in consulting!

I have helped over 100 students with consulting interview preparation, resume and LinkedIn reviews, and academic applications (deferred MBA programs, fellowships, etc.). I have specifically found a great deal of success in MBB interview prep, helping over 25 students secure MBB offers at a 93% offer rate. My coaching style is highly human-centric and personalized, as I use behavioral health techniques to train students on how to channel their brightness with concision, clarity, and creativity. In terms of credentials, I have been a Scholarship Admissions Interviewer at USC, the President of 180 Degrees Consulting at USC, a Co-Founder of the USC Consulting Consortium, a Founding USC Recruiting Lead at McKinsey & Company, and the CEO of Blue Modern Advisory, a Professional Mentorship startup.

- McKinsey Associate to Engagement Manager - Focus industries: healthcare, technology, consumer products - Experience with case and behavioral interview prep

As a former McKinsey Senior Business Analyst who was promoted early and staffed on high-visibility projects across industries, I bring firsthand insight into what top-tier firms look for in candidates. I’ve helped 15+ mentees navigate the recruiting process, with over 10 earning full-time or internship offers from MBB firms, by emphasizing not just casing fundamentals, but also the judgment, communication, and composure that differentiate real-world consultants. In my final year at McKinsey, I directly managed early-tenured analysts, mentoring them through their first engagements and helping them ramp quickly in high-pressure client environments. Whether you’re working on casing, refining your behavioral answers, or just learning how consulting firms think, I’ll meet you where you are. My approach is empathetic and real-world driven: rooted in how these firms actually hire and develop talent.

Former McKinsey & Company consultant with 6 years experience across the San Francisco, New York offices and Johannesburg offices, advising leading financial institutions and sovereign wealth funds on strategy, M&A, AI integration, and organizational restructuring — including one of Wall Street's largest banks, a major US startup bank, and a Gulf sovereign wealth fund where I assessed the feasibility of a greenfield gold mining investment. I went through the McKinsey case interview process twice (pre-MBA at McKinsey Johannesburg, post-MBA at McKinsey US) and know exactly what separates a strong candidate from a passable one. Most recently, I served as CEO of a last-mile logistics company with 35+ employees, giving me an operator's perspective most case coaches don't have — we'll work through real client problems, not textbook ones. Harvard MBA. Originally from South Africa, so I'm particularly equipped to coach international and non-traditional applicants on positioning their story for MBB.

I kicked off my career by landing offers at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, ultimately joining McKinsey. Alongside my client work, I led undergraduate campus recruiting for McKinsey for four years. I’ve reviewed hundreds of resumes and calibrated candidates in final-round deliberation rooms—I know exactly what makes an applicant stand out to elite evaluators.

As a recent Associate Partner at McKinsey, I know how impactful a career in consulting can be. At the same time, I know how challenging and stressful it can be to navigate the interview process. Securing a top tier consulting offer takes more than nailing the case, it takes a thoughtful approach to landing the right messages that match what firms are looking for. During my time at McKinsey, I was actively involved in the recruiting process, including screening, interviewing, and making final offers to candidates for Intern, Business Analyst, and Associate roles. I know how consulting firms approach their hiring decisions and what it takes to distinguish yourself in a competitive field. As a graduate of HBS, I’ve also experienced the recruitment process from the applicant’s perspective and can offer practical strategies to successfully land an offer. I’m excited to help you as you start your consulting career!
