Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Engineer turned consultant. Extensive experience with casing

Experienced BCG consultant and interviewer with more than 10 candidates coached through the MBB process.

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!

With over 15 years of global management consulting experience at Strategy&, Kearney, and Deloitte, I offer a unique industry perspective. I began my career in technology consulting before pivoting to strategy consulting as a generalist after my Yale MBA, eventually specializing in healthcare as a Principal at Strategy&. In this role, I led national-level healthcare transformations and biotech strategy execution for sovereign entities, managing initiatives ranging from greenfield hospital feasibility to complex medical tourism strategies. Parallel to my client work, I have spent over a decade on the "other side" of the recruitment table, spearheading firm-wide recruiting transformations, delivering campus presentations, and interviewing a vast range of candidates from Analyst to Engagement Manager levels. I have also formally coached and mentored over a dozen consultants within my firms to help them navigate the nuances of the consulting hierarchy. I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants master case interviews, sharpen behavioral storytelling, and navigate the competitive consulting landscape. Let's connect and strategize your path to success!

What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student and former Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company. I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength. 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.

Super excited to now offer management consulting prep! I have been assisting others apply to MBB roles for 5 years and have secured over 20 job offers across MBB, Big 4, and boutique firms. My proven case AND behavioral interview prep will ensure you are well prepared for recruiting processes and interviews by ensuring we cover everything these firms are looking for. I bring real MBB experience with 3.5+ years at BCG with actual interview/evaluation experience. Looking forward to meeting you all!
