Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I worked in management consulting for almost a decade across a variety of roles - as a Business Analyst, Associate, Engagement Manager, and Associate Partner. At McKinsey, I was a Faculty member who led analyst and associate trainings and conducted hundreds of hours of interview coaching. At UVA and HBS, I peer coached classmates to prepare for the consulting interview process.

I received management consulting offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain and have worked at Bain for months on a higher education strategy transformation case. I have case-prepped over 30 UT Austin students, helping multiple students receive offers from Big 3 and Big 4 consulting firms. I have also done 100+ hours of extensive resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn reviews. Your success is my success, and I look forward to working for it together!

I was a top-bucket analyst in the Australian office of the world's leading management consultancy. In addition to mastering the analyst and associate toolkit, I coached more than 20 candidates (informally and formally) through the interview processes of MBB, Tier 2 and similar case interviews. This included resume work, ensuring candidates were representing themselves well behaviourally, and, of course, making acing interviews their second nature. Unlike many others, I think MBB interviews are extremely coachable. With the right guidance and enough time, I think most candidates can place themselves in a very favourable position for hiring. Unfortunately, most coaches are not fully across how hiring works and candidates end up becoming lost in the sea of information they're flooded with during recruiting. Even if it's just one session, I am confident a conversation will help navigate you in the right direction - or I'll be happy to return 100% of your money. Look forward to supporting you on your consulting journey!

Hi — I’m Cristian I spent ~5 years at McKinsey and was promoted twice, working across a wide range of industries and project types. A core part of my time at the firm was coaching and developing others, including leading the McKinsey new joiner training on several occasions. Over the last 4 years I’ve coached ~400 candidates across 1,400 sessions. My outcomes are tracked and published in an annual, name-sanitised report: 88% received ≥1 offer (and 63% for MBB-only targets). In my approach, I do 3 things differently: 1. I coach first principles thinking. Because consulting interviewers want to see how you think, not hear memorised frameworks. 2. I overemphasise personal fit prep. Because most candidates ignore it and that gives my candidates an edge. 3. I identify and train for spikes. Because top consulting firms don’t want you to be ok at everything, but great at something. After every session, I provide a granular 1-page scorecard quantifying your probability of passing the interview, along with clear feedback and drills to improve. Schedule an intro call (optional) if you're unsure whether you need one session or a package. If you have interview dates, book a session directly.

I thrived as a consultant at McKinsey and I knew that it was a combination of personal skills, hard work, and networking that I needed to be successful. As an Associate Partner I had the chance to coach 100s of Business Analysts, Associates, and Engagement Managers to help them on everything from how to succeed on studies, learn practical consulting toolkit skills, navigate reviews, and better leveraging their network to succeed. Whether you're looking to break into consulting or advance within the industry, I'm happy to chat.

Welcome to my profile! I'm an ex-McKinsey Consultant with a deep passion and interest in contributing to guiding people to success! I've been engaged in 100+ interviews and 700+ coaching sessions and gained tremendous success in helping candidates land their dream consulting offers! Whilst at McKinsey, I was awarded as Top Coach across Europe, Middle East & Africa in 2023. So putting that all together, I know exactly what it takes to be successful in MBB interviews, and I know how to get YOU there! If you're interested in landing a consulting role at an MBB Firm or any other Top Consulting Firm, I'd be happy to partner with you on that journey and guide you to success!

Having pivoted mid-career into consulting, put my time in at BCG, and exited as a venture-backed founder and entrepreneur, I have personal experience across the entire consulting career lifecycle, with a special awareness that many people seek consulting as a launching pad, not as a lifelong vocation. I've provided case interview preparation for hundreds of candidates who have gone on to BCG, McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, Strategy&, LEK, and other top-tier firms. I've also worked directly with BCG recruiters on the back end of the recruiting process and continue to retain a robust network within many top firms, ranging from undergrad hires to partners. More broadly, I am incredibly passionate about coaching beyond the nuts and bolts of interview prep. I am also an executive and career coach, working primarily with mid-career professionals (often from tech and consulting backgrounds) to develop professional clarity, an improved sense of personal agency, and increased leadership and executive capacity.

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.

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.
