Management Consulting Coaches

I've helped many HBS classmates practice interviews for BCG ('18-'21), and went through interviewing training myself while at BCG ('14-'16), including crafting custom cases in the Australian system.

As a former consultant at Monitor Deloitte, I have deep insight into what makes for an appealing candidate. I served as the lead consultant for recruiting in the Bay Area offices and my on-the-ground experience allows me to offer valuable guidance at every step, from crafting essays to acing interviews. Whether you are aiming for a top MBA program or building a career in consulting or VC, I have the qualifications to help you get there.

In college, I was a computer engineering major that was always a little interested in consulting. I used resources I had available to me to recruit heavily for very different consulting internships, and I work in 4 different consulting roles at Accenture, EY-Parthenon, The Keystone Group, and AWS. In addition to successfully recruiting other offers (including BCG), I managed to use my experiences in different consulting verticals to shape my career trajectory to be specific to strategy consulting for PE companies looking to acquire TMT targets. Not only did I successfully recruit myself, but through my involvement around campus, I helped prepare other people for the recruitment process helping others get full-time strategy offers at Bain, BCG, and Accenture. I've reviewed over 40 resumes and conducted at least 60 practice cases to help others land full-time and internship consulting offers at top firms.

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.

Navigating the MBB recruiting process can seem overwhelming. I help student, at all stages and from all backgrounds, layout a framework to make themselves the ideal MBB candidate. Having landed a position at BCG — I know how the process works. I came from a non-target school and landed at a high-demand office. Whether you are a freshman looking to get your feet wet or a Junior right before full-time resume drops, I have helped students in a similar position as yours! As the VP of recruiting for the BYU Management Consulting Association, I have helped hundreds of students in this process. Apart from my experience at BCG, I have considerable experience in internal consulting, external consulting, and Private Equity. Gaining this experience during undergraduate will set you apart from other applicants and allow you to hit the ground running once you land your dream job!

I officially coached candidates through the McKinsey coaching program. I have also helped coach over 10 candidates interviewing to get into consulting. I have a 70%+ success rate with them (extremely high for consulting). Beyond giving you a case, I give you tips and tricks that take you from good to great. I am extremely candid and have one goal: get you that job.
