Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

As a non-traditional applicant who landed in BCG (and helped with BCG's recruiting), I know what it feels like to not know exactly where to start with the consulting prep process. I want you to feel guided and energized in your process, even if you don't have a student cohort to compare notes with! I've helped countless folks, especially experienced hires, get into MBB firms in my footsteps. I'm looking forward to helping you do the same. Reach out and let's get started!

After interning at McKinsey & Company as a sophomore, I spent my last two years in college—and beyond—helping dozens of students land offers at MBB firms. I love coaching aspiring consultants not just on how to crack the case and craft a standout application, but also on how to determine if consulting is the right fit, how to play to their strengths, and how to tell their story in a way that resonates. I spent two years at McKinsey advising Fortune 500 executives, public figures, and non-profit leaders on 9-figure transformations, earning top ratings along the way. After having my third child, I transitioned to a corporate strategy role where I continue to work closely with C-suite leaders on high-impact initiatives affecting thousands of employees.

Hi, I’m Annika Friesen, an ICF-certified coach, entrepreneur, and former Bain consultant. I bring a unique perspective as both a post-MBA and industry hire.

This means I understand the challenges of both entry paths and can help you navigate whichever journey you’re on.

As a Consultant at Oliver Wyman, I bring extensive experience in resume screening, case prep, and interview coaching, having led undergraduate recruiting during our most recent application cycle.

I now specialize in digital, aviation, and financial services, delivering impactful strategies for leading clients. I’ve successfully mentored over 30 students, helping them secure positions at top consulting firms. Let’s work together to master your case interviews and land your dream job in consulting!

With over 8 years of experience at Kearney, where I advanced from Business Analyst to Manager, I have honed my expertise in market entry, growth strategy, and innovation across various industries including prestige beauty, retail, and technology.

As someone who just recently went through the consulting recruiting process (in 2025), I know exactly what advice is still good and what guidance is outdated. After running 150+ cases, I understand what case interview performances equate to a life-changing offer. I also know how you can get there while investing much less time. Wherever you are in your casing confidence, I can take your abilities to the next level!

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.
