Hi! I joined Bain & Company as an Associate Consultant - and rose to Associate Partner, based in New York. During my 8 years at Bain, I was accelerated at each promotion point, and worked out of our New York and London offices. I led recruiting for Associate Consultants (post undergraduate) as well as Consultants (post MBA) in both New York and London. I have coached over 100 individuals, helping them navigate the competitive landscape of management consulting, with a focus on mastering case interviews and refining their applications.

As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.

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.

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience as a Management Consultant at Deloitte, I have a deep understanding of the consulting recruitment process. I have led on-campus recruiting efforts at top universities like USC, UCLA, and the Claremont Campuses, and have been involved in interviewing and evaluating candidates across various dimensions. My role included designing interview rubrics and providing feedback to hiring managers, which gives me unique insights into what makes a candidate stand out. I have also coached candidates on interview strategy and performance improvement, helping them to refine their storytelling and problem-solving skills. If you're looking to break into management consulting, I can provide you with the insider knowledge and tailored coaching you need to succeed. Let's connect and get started on your journey!

I worked at BCG for ~9 years, starting as an Associate and receiving direct promotions to Partner. While at BCG, I led our office recruiting (including performing 200+ final round interviews) and our Career Development Committee for Associates & Consultants, so I know both how to get the offer and also succeed at the job over time. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, fit questions, resume refinement, or strategic career advice, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. While in undergrad, I received offers from all 3 MBB firms and ultimately selected BCG. I know what it takes to get Consulting offers and am happy to help you however I can. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your consulting career success!

I have extensive experience in management consulting (5+ years of professional experience, ex-Bain Manager), and also am a seasoned coach and mentor, excelling in giving step-by-step, actionable feedback. I began my career at Bain & Company immediately after completing my undergraduate studies and later returned to Bain after earning my MBA. I’ve conducted numerous interviews for internship and full-time positions at Bain, giving me deep insights into the firm's grading criteria and what they truly value in candidates. I understand what differentiates a good candidate from one who truly stands out. I would love to help you navigate the interview prep process and ace the consulting interview!

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.

Having worked at top firms including Bain & Company and Monitor Deloitte for five years, I have extensive knowledge of strategy consulting. At Bain, I honed my skills in private equity due diligences, before heading out to Columbia Business School to complete my MBA. I have predominantly worked with industry-leading media and sports clients, spending time on secondment to Disney and Manchester United FC. I am highly analytical, given my degree in Economics from the London School of Economics. This background makes me well placed to help when it comes to prepping for market sizing and case interviews. I am passionate about supporting aspiring consultants in navigating the competitive landscape of management consulting having sat both sides of the table - as interviewee and interviewer. I would love to work together to master your case interviews and refine your application strategy. Do reach out to discuss your application journey and how I can best help!

I'm a former McKinsey Engagement Manager and interviewer, and founder of Calvanese Advisory. I spent 4.5 years at McKinsey in the strategy practice, across the US and Italy offices, conducting 100+ candidate interviews from the interviewer side of the table. My core offer is the Calibration Diagnostic, a structured assessment I designed at Calvanese Advisory. It exists for the one thing free resources and peer practice can't replace: an honest, calibrated assessment from someone who has evaluated candidates in real consulting interviews. The proprietary framework — 15 dimensions across behavioral and case, split into core and execution — is applied the way an interviewer applies it in the room. Most mock interviews end in impressions. The Calibration Diagnostic ends in a structured written report — a dimension-by-dimension map of your performance against the bar that you can return to throughout your prep. That structure is the difference between "I think I did okay" and knowing exactly where you stand and what to fix. Why this is different: — Cases designed at EM standard, validated by other McKinsey interviewers — Behavioral prep grounded in what MBB firms actually evaluate — Written, structured feedback across 15 dimensions — your performance mapped against what clears the bar, drawn from real interviewer experience — Bilingual EN/IT, with working proficiency in French and Spanish — useful for European candidates and dual-language prep Best fit for: candidates targeting MBB or tier-2, strong-fundamentals candidates trying to break above the bar, and experienced hires switching from industry. Not a fit for: candidates very early in prep looking for foundational frameworks.
