Welcome to my profile! As a former McKinsey consultant with over a decade of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insights to help you navigate the competitive world of management consulting. I am the founder of Being Consultant, where I have successfully coached over 1,000 professionals across 75+ countries, from consulting aspirants to partners in top firms. My background includes an MBA from HEC Paris and extensive experience in strategy and technology consulting at leading firms like McKinsey & Company and Infosys Consulting. Whether you need help with case interviews, career strategy, or navigating your consulting journey, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Reach out to start your path to a thriving consulting career!

I’m a former McKinsey Business Analyst with experience on both sides of the table, as a successful applicant and as a recruiter. I know what MBB and other top firms are looking for, and how to help you stand out. While at McKinsey, I led campus recruiting efforts for WashU, where I evaluated hundreds of consulting candidates. I ran case prep workshops, reviewed resumes, and 1:1 coaching sessions to prepare students for the rigorous interview process. Internally, I also led a hiring accelerator for a client where I built the hiring rubrics, screened applications, and advised executives on who to interview and hire, giving me firsthand insight into how firms make hiring decisions. Today, I’m on Google’s Business Operations & Strategy team — a small, high-impact group that drives cross-functional AI strategy across the company. As a coach, I’ve helped 50+ candidates land offers. My background at a top consulting firm and tech companies allow me to help you tell a compelling story, sharpen your candidacy, network efficiently, and build a personalized recruiting game plan. Coaching is deeply personal for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors who invested in me, and I love paying that forward. Whether you're navigating your first consulting application or pushing for a final-round breakthrough, I’d love to help you land the job.

I spent seven years at McKinsey, all of which served to help me understand with great clarity what consultants (both at their job, and when they're interviewing candidates) care about, look for, and have curiosity toward when it comes to looking for people with the potential to succeed at top consulting firms. I've managed over 70 consultants and coached over 100 individuals on resume prep, behavioral storytelling, and case interviewing. I believe in breaking down each topic into individual frameworks that help you understand not just how to be successful, but also why the approach works, giving you a roadmap for how to continually develop your skills both in our coaching sessions and in your own individual preparation.

I was once in your shoes, eager to land a consulting offer at MBB. Later, I sat on the other side of the table. Through both, I’ve learned that acing the interview isn’t about memorizing frameworks, but about thinking and communicating clearly under pressure. I spent three years at BCG before leading strategy and operations at lululemon and Netflix. After earning my MBA at Stanford GSB, I became Chief of Staff at a mission-driven startup tackling maternal mental health. Along the way, I’ve coached dozens of candidates into MBB by helping them think clearly, communicate simply, and stay grounded when it matters most. My approach to case prep is calm, practical, and personal - you’ll get sharp feedback, real talk, and the confidence to sound like yourself in any room.

As a former Consultant and interviewer at BCG, I bring a wealth of experience and insider knowledge to help you succeed in getting a MBB offer. During my time at BCG, I focus mostly on growth strategy and deal advisory projects in the consumer goods space. Regarding coaching, I have also coached 20+ individuals, with more than half landing MBB offers. I do this by writing my own cases based on my work, teaching them how to effectively present their interview responses (the real differentiator), and also explaining the real-world parallel behind these suggestions. If you are interested, I am happy to schedule a free introductory call. Let's start working towards your MBB offer!

With firsthand experience navigating the rigorous consulting recruitment process – including being one of two selected for Dalberg, Geneva after three rounds of competitive case interviews – I offer unique insights into excelling at case interviews. At Harvard Business School, I was specifically requested by the Careers Service to coach peers in consulting preparation, helping many secure offers from firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Strategy&, and Kearney. My coaching blends lessons from my own successes and challenges with the expertise gained from years of mentoring professionals and MBAs. Students consistently praise my ability to provide tailored, actionable feedback that builds confidence, sharpens problem-solving techniques, and prepares them to excel under pressure. Whether you are preparing for your first case interview or seeking to refine your performance, I deliver proven strategies to help you succeed. In the last year, I launched my own consulting firm, advising clients such as the UK Government and a large US family office, and recently served as an Interim Director of Economics. This hands-on experience, coupled with my coaching background, gives me unparalleled insights into the consulting industry and the skills firms seek. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and achieve your consulting career goals.
