Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I've helped candidates land 25+ offers across tech and consulting — and before that, I was the one sitting in the hot seat figuring out how to actually break in. On the industry side, I've worked as a Program Management intern at Microsoft (federal contracts team) and as a Consulting Analyst at Stout on the IP and data team, and I'm about to start as a Business Analyst at Capital One. That mix means I've seen hiring up close at a big tech company, a boutique consulting firm, and a large corporate analyst program — three very different processes, three very different "what actually gets you hired" playbooks. On Campus at the University of Illinois I had served as a Project Director at the Illinois Consulting Group, where I've been staffed on projects spanning every major industry, and I've spent the last few years mentoring dozens of students trying to break into tech and consulting. I've also served as a Project Director with Product Space, coaching candidates specifically on product management career paths — so whether you're gunning for a case interview or a PM behavioral round, I've been in the room for both. Put it all together and here's what I can actually do for you: build a resume that gets you the interview (not just a "thanks for applying"), network with purpose instead of cold-emailing into the void, nail the case interview efficiently without just memorizing frameworks, and crush your behavioral rounds by turning your actual experiences into a story that lands. I've done this for myself and for dozens of other candidates. Happy to do it for you too.

Hi, I'm Cristian! I’m a coach with extensive experience in the consulting space. I graduated from the University of Oxford and spent over 4 years at McKinsey, working across 8 countries and 9 industries, on engagements as diverse as gold mining in Papua New Guinea to pricing chemicals in Germany. During this time, I developed my consulting and coaching toolkit, being ranked in the top quartile of firm consultants for 5 consecutive evaluations. I also had the opportunity to act as faculty at McKinsey new joiner trainings and coach junior colleagues. Afterwards, I started pathtoconsulting and coached 400 clients across 50 geographies in >1400 sessions, across generalist and specialist tracks at varying levels of seniority. Effectively, my coaching approach has three dimensions: 1. Holistic approach - I focus not only on improving case mechanics, but also provide feedback on your delivery, presence, and give you suggestions on priming yourself for the interview. I will be your supporter throughout the process, encouraging you and challenging you as needed. 2. Strength-focused - I provide feedback not only on the gap that you need to close, but on where you already exhibit strengths, and provide guidance on how to turn those into spikes and stand out. 3. Diagnostic-run - I aspire to close each case session with a clear indication of what you need to improve and how (including a scorecard), emphasing the 1-2 focus points that will make the biggest difference and the drills you should practice. And as a next step, feel free to book a session directly or reach out for an intro call. Looking forward to working together!

Hi! I'm Anna, a UCLA senior who has hands on consulting experience through multiple client projects, internships, and case competitions. I’ve navigated several rigorous recruiting cycles, advanced through dozens of interviews, and earned multiple consulting offers. I was also a finalist in a national case competition and a first-round winner of the Bain Case Competition, experiences that strengthened both my analytical rigor and creative problem-solving skills. These opportunities gave me firsthand insight into how firms evaluate candidates, from resume screening and coffee chats to final-round cases and offer decisions. Because I’ve gone through the entire process myself, I truly understand how recruiting works in practice. I know how to build meaningful relationships through networking, turn coffee chats into referrals, and position yourself strategically throughout the cycle. As a coach, I focus on practical, personalized preparation. I will help you develop strong case fundamentals while also strengthening your creativity, business intuition, and storytelling. Whether it’s refining your framework, brainstorming innovative solutions, or preparing for high-stakes interviews, my goal is to give you the tools and confidence to consistently perform at your best!

I'm Maryam, a Wharton MBA (Class of 2026) and incoming BCG consultant in San Francisco, with prior experience advising Fortune 500 clients at Accenture. I've lived the consulting recruiting process from every angle: as a candidate who cracked it for the summer internship and got a return offer, and as someone who has spent years working with MBB consultants and knowing what the best firms look for. Breaking into management consulting is one of the most demanding recruiting processes out there, but more importantly, one of the most coachable. The difference between candidates who get offers and those who don't rarely comes down to intelligence. It comes down to how clearly you can structure your thinking, how compellingly you tell your story, and how confidently you show up. Those are things you can build, and I can help you build them. Whether you're preparing for case interviews, refining your personal narrative, navigating the networking side of recruiting, or figuring out how to position a non-traditional background, I'll bring both the insider knowledge and the honest feedback you need to put your best foot forward. I know what BCG and firms like it are looking for, because that's where I'll be full-time!

I'm Marisa — a Chicago Booth MBA, former McKinsey consultant, and I held simultaneous offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. After nearly three years at McKinsey, I've left to build my own consulting firm, and with that transition comes something I've been wanting to do for a while: coach serious candidates through the MBB recruiting process. I spent my time at Booth as co-chair of the consulting club, creating case drills, leading prep sessions, and helping classmates prepare their personal experience narratives. Coaching isn't new to me — and now I get to do it at scale.

Why work with me? -I broke in without the perfect pedigree — I know how to help you do the same. -I accelerated fast inside Deloitte — and coach the habits that actually lead to promotions. -I’ve sat on both sides: candidate, coach, team lead, practice builder. -I understand how consulting firms really work — not just the recruiting step. -My coaching combines strategy, psychology, and systems thinking. When I applied to Deloitte, I didn’t match the traditional “consulting pedigree.” My GPA was below the cutoff, and on paper I shouldn’t have made it through the first screen — but I found a way in. Once inside the firm, I went from the lowest rating in my first year to becoming the fastest person in my cohort promoted into the post-MBA role, earning two promotions in two years. Along the way, I learned how to master case interviews, tell a clear and compelling story, build internal reputation, and deliver under pressure. More importantly, I learned how to navigate consulting as a real system: the unspoken rules around staffing, partner expectations, reputation loops, narrative management, and avoiding early-career traps. Those are the skills I now coach others to develop. At Deloitte, I helped launch and scale a new Strategy & Analytics practice, leading the first pilot and helping grow it into an eight-figure business. I worked across commercial strategy, government and public sector, AI and data strategy, and internal innovation roles. I was selected for Deloitte’s Graduate School Assistance Program (GSAP) and completed my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I coach two types of professionals: (1) Ambitious, nontraditional applicants People who may not have the perfect GPA, target school background, or conventional story — but who have real potential and want to break into consulting. I help you sharpen your narrative, build confidence, prep for case interviews, and design a strategy to stand out. (2) Early-career consultants who want to accelerate If you’re already in the firm and want to build influence, avoid early pitfalls, navigate unspoken rules, or prepare for promotion cycles, I can help you understand the “game behind the game” and build momentum in your career. My coaching style is personal, direct, and practical. I focus on what actually moves you forward — not generic advice. If you’re hungry, ambitious, and willing to put in the work, I’d love to help you get there.
