Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I bring a real-world, no-nonsense approach to management consulting built on years of experience working across military, government, private, public, and nonprofit organizations throughout the country. I have helped organizations navigate complex transitions, improve operations, and make better strategic decisions in environments where the stakes are high and mistakes are expensive. My work has directly contributed to companies saving millions of dollars, eliminating inefficiencies, and getting leadership teams aligned when things were not working. I understand how organizations actually function under pressure, not just how they look on paper. My background reflects that depth. I hold a doctorate in coaching and a second doctorate in organizational change and leadership, along with an MBA and a master’s in project management. I am also the author of Who’s Got Your Six?, which focuses on accountability, trust, and making better decisions when it matters most. But more importantly, I know how to apply all of that in the real world. I am not here to overwhelm you with theory or corporate jargon. I am here to help you see clearly, challenge what is not working, and build practical strategies your organization can actually execute.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a rich background in management consulting, including my time as a Consultant at Bain & Company, I bring firsthand experience in navigating the competitive consulting landscape. My academic journey through prestigious institutions like Harvard, Berkeley and HEC Paris has equipped me with a robust understanding of business strategy and entrepreneurship. As a former member of the admissions committee, I have a keen insight into what top programs and firms are looking for in candidates. Whether you're preparing for case interviews or refining your application materials, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and craft a strategy to help you achieve your consulting career goals!

Expert in healthcare and life sciences consulting work with provider, payors and medtech clients. Successfully navigated the recruiting, application, interview and onboarding process for multiple management consulting firms.

My five years coaching at NYU Stern opened my eyes to the consulting recruiting process. From identifying firm fit and behavioral interview prep, to offer negotiation, I have supported students to land their dream roles at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, EY-Parthenon, and more. My approach blends strategy with positive psychology. I don’t just help you polish your resume and cover letter — I help you show up with confidence, clarity, and a compelling narrative that’s true to you. If you’re looking for a coach who understands both the rigor of recruiting and the resilience it takes to land one of these spots, then I would love to work together.

I successfully broke into Bain as a non-business major at a non-target school. Having just gone through the consulting recruitment process, I understand exactly what it takes to succeed at every stage. I have both given and received over 100 case interviews while mentoring friends and peers, and I am deeply familiar with the behavioral interview process, storytelling, and building strong connections with interviewers. I now joined Leland to work with ambitious students who want clear, structured, and practical guidance across every component of consulting recruiting, from casing and fit to confidence and communication!

I have extensive experience with consulting case prep and behavioral interview practice. My clients have landed internships and full time offers at MBB and other top strategy consulting firms.

As a management consulting coach, I leverage my extensive experience in recruiting. I completed 117 practice cases during the Fall of ’23, the highest number in my class. I also delivered more than 80 practice cases to my classmates, gaining a reputation for dedication and providing constructive feedback. Additionally, I achieved a 100% conversion rate of interview invitations to offers from top firms such as Bain, BCG, and McKinsey. As the Recruiting Cochair for the Armed Forces Group, I have organized veteran-focused events with more than 15 consulting firms and have provided over 100 practice cases to first-year veterans. Furthermore, I worked part-time as a casing coach at the University of Chicago, conducting over 50 mock interviews for undergraduates applying to consulting roles.

Consulting can feel like a black box until you’re in it. After nearly a decade at Deloitte, I know what it takes not just to land an offer, but to succeed once you’re there. I help candidates demystify the recruiting process, position themselves effectively, and understand what consulting firms are really looking for. While I can support case prep if needed, my focus is broader: helping you articulate your value, communicate with confidence, and show up as someone firms want on their teams. For those already in consulting, I coach on how to thrive inside the firm—building relationships with partners and clients, navigating tough projects, and charting a path toward promotion (or knowing when it’s time to pivot). Whether you’re trying to break in or make the most of your experience once you’re in the door, I’ll share practical insights and candid advice to help you succeed.

As a Senior Engagement Manager and Interviewer at McKinsey, I don’t just teach the case - I know exactly what it takes to get the "Clear Hire" in the calibration room. My perspective is built on thousands of hours on both sides of the table: from building teams as a Managing Director at HappyFresh and leader at Grab, to leading the interview process for McKinsey. Whether you are a student or a lateral hire from tech, I provide the precise roadmap to bridge the gap between operational experience and the McKinsey mindset. How I help you win: Case Study Mastery: I teach the "insider’s scorecard" -leveraging my role as a McKinsey Interviewer to show you the exact technical benchmarks and communication nuances I use to evaluate, score, and hire candidates today. The Inside View: I share the exact evaluation criteria used in MBB interviews. I know how candidates are scored and why they fail. Industry-to-Consulting Pivot: Having moved from Grab/HappyFresh to McKinsey, I specialize in translating "startup" language into the structured communication firms demand. Resume/CV Strategy: Lessons from screening 2,000+ CVs and hiring hundreds of people to ensure your profile survives the 6-second scan.
