Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I’ve cased with dozens of preparing interviewers who have gone on to receive offers at McKinsey, Bain & Co, Bain Capital, LEK Consulting, and others! I have received full time offers in Management Consulting, Private Equity, Growth Equity, Venture Capital, and AI operations. I also ran the BYU PE/VC association and have mentored 20+ individuals that have placed into PE/Growth/VC, both directly out of undergrad and after a 1-2 year analyst program in consulting or IB. Left consulting as the first US hire for a Y Combinator backed company to lead GTM Strategy, Sales and Implementation.

I spent 7 years at BCG, from Associate to Project Leader. During this time, I was also first Recruiting Coach and then Interviewer, having coached and interviewed 100+ applicants for Associate & Consultant positions. I did my MBA degree at INSEAD, during which I coached 50+ of my co-students who were trying to get into Consulting. Finally, after leaving consulting, I also intensively coached my wife who as a result got offers from McKinsey, BCG and Bain.

I was a part of Bain's recruiting team and started 1GEN at Bain (now called "First at Bain"), the affinity group for first generation college students/those from low-income backgrounds (FGLI). My biggest value is that I go beyond case interview prep and instead focus on how to 1) get the interview, 2) nail the soft skills, and 3) case interview perfectly.
