Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

With offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG across both the U.S. and Japan, and a track record of helping candidates land offers at every major MBB office in the U.S. and Asia, I specialize in helping candidates break into top-tier consulting. I bring not just personal success, but institutional insight: I served as BCG’s North America Recruiting Champion in 2019, personally bringing in the highest number of experienced hire recruits across the region—a distinction that earned me a special bonus. I also led campus recruiting efforts at WashU, where I was directly responsible for the largest class BCG Chicago had ever hired from the school. From undergraduates to MBAs, I’ve coached 100+ candidates through every stage of the MBB process—from shaping compelling personal stories and acing case interviews to navigating final-round dynamics. I’ve worked with peers at Wharton, students at top undergrad programs, and international candidates navigating recruiting from both inside and outside the U.S. Beyond offer prep, I also bring insider perspective on how to build a long-term career at MBB. At BCG, I was part of the PIPE practice in the Dubai office advising Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, which became the springboard for my later transition into finance. If you’re looking to stay and grow within the firm, or eventually pivot to PE, VC, or IB, I can help you strategically plan your path from day one. If you’re looking for proven, structured coaching to land a consulting offer—especially at MBB—this is the right package. For candidates also weighing broader finance or career strategy questions, feel free to check out my holistic career coaching package as well.

As a McKinsey alum and graduate of Wharton (B.S. Economics) and Oxford (MBA), I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to break into and thrive at top consulting firms. At McKinsey, I advised Fortune 100 clients on growth strategy and commercial due diligence across industries, leading high-impact initiatives from Agile transformations to market expansion. I’m passionate about mentoring aspiring consultants, whether it’s navigating the case interview process, building a standout application, or succeeding on the job. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to land your dream offer and excel in your consulting career.

If you want senior-level, no-fluff coaching for MBB recruiting, you’re in the right place. I spent 4.5 years at Bain and two of those years as a case team manager leading teams and training consultants. I have interviewed candidates across undergrad, MBA, advanced degree, and experienced hire pipelines, and I have been in the hiring committee rooms where final offer decisions get made. That perspective matters because I can tell you what interviewers are actually listening for, how to avoid common traps, and what it takes to earn a confident yes in a competitive slate. I also care deeply about coaching and development. At Bain, I mentored case team members on the skills that separate great consultants from good ones so you are not only prepared to land the offer, but to thrive once you start. I have worked across Bain’s Seattle, San Francisco, and Brussels offices, and I earned offers from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey during MBA recruiting. If you are aiming for MBB and want candid, senior feedback with a clear plan to improve fast, I would love to work together.

Many people believe that breaking into consulting is extremely hard, but with some guidance and practice, breaking in becomes quite simple. After recruiting for McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, and EY, case interview were not only fun but also led to successful offers! Let's work together for you to earn what you deserve. Clients have earned offers at Boston Consulting Group, Millennium Management, Palantir Technologies, AWS, EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FBI, IBM, SAS, Food Lion (Strategy & Innovation), and UNC Chapel Hill.
