Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm David, a former Associate Consultant at L.E.K. Consulting, where I honed my skills in strategic problem-solving and client engagement. During my time at L.E.K., I worked on diverse projects that equipped me with a deep understanding of the consulting landscape. As an MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management, I continue to expand my expertise and network within the industry. I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants navigate the competitive recruitment process, from mastering case interviews to perfecting resumes and cover letters. Let's connect and work together to achieve your consulting career goals!

I know what it feels like to struggle with consulting interviews—because I’ve been there. When I first started casing, I felt anxious and stuck. I froze, convinced there was some hidden formula I just couldn’t unlock. Everything changed when I realized consulting interviews aren’t about memorizing frameworks—they’re about how you approach problems. Once I focused on genuinely solving the case, my confidence grew, my performance improved, and interviews became something I looked forward to instead of feared. I’ve walked the full consulting path—from earning admission to Yale’s 2+2 MBA program, to landing an offer at McKinsey, to coaching peers through the same process. Along the way, I’ve also worked in tech product management at Microsoft and founded my own startup, which means I can not only coach you through consulting interviews but also help you compare paths across industries. As your coach, I’ll meet you where you are—whether you’re just starting with frameworks, refining your math, or seeking partner-level feedback. I bring both empathy and experience: I know the stress and self-doubt of casing, and I know how to help you unlock the mindset shift that builds real confidence. My goal is to help you not just “crack the case,” but walk into every interview with clarity and self-belief.

- Was an active part of Kearney's Digital Recruiting team and mentored prospective applicants with case and behavioral interview prep

I interned and worked at Bridgespan after completing my MBA. I would love to support your journey to working in Social Impact consulting.

I spent over two years full time and an additional summer internship at BCG as an Associate, heavily focused on Strategy development and Transformation execution. Earning the highest possible performance placement consecutively, I helped coach peers in L&D sessions and was involved in recruiting efforts at the firm. During my time at Emory's Goizueta Business School I lead the Goizueta Consulting Group in establishing a mentorship program, developed new curricula, and led live practice interviews, all aimed at enhancing students’ readiness for case and behavioral interviews. Additionally, as the Co-lead for Goizueta Business School's Career Management Coaches, I specialized in preparing students for consulting interviews, guiding a team of coaches to provide targeted support. In my own recruitment process, I received multiple offers and had final round interviews at all of the MBB. Simply put, I know what it takes to be hired and perform as a consultant at the world's best firms.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a former McKinsey Digital consultant who helps candidates break into top-tier consulting firms with confidence and clarity. Over the past few years, I’ve coached more than 40 aspiring consultants, from undergraduates to experienced professionals, who went on to secure offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, and other leading firms. Drawing on my McKinsey experience in digital strategy, product management, and client delivery, I teach candidates how to think, communicate, and problem-solve like consultants. My coaching combines insider frameworks, live case simulations, and tailored feedback to sharpen analytical rigor, structure, and executive presence. Beyond interview prep, I help clients craft powerful resumes and personal stories that stand out in a competitive recruiting process. My goal is to not only help you land the offer, but to equip you with the skills and confidence to thrive once you do.

I received an offer from BCG and Bain and went to final rounds with McKinsey. I was able to relocate to a different region. I can help you with your case preparation

With four years of experience at McKinsey & Company, I bring a deep understanding of the demands of a role in management consulting. Outside of my client work at McKinsey, I coached new summer analysts and full-time analysts. I also have coached several college and graduate students through the application and interview process, with a particular focus on preparing for case interviews.

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.

As an ex‑Bain consultant from the Tokyo office, I bring a rare combination of top‑tier MBB experience, deep Japan / global fluency, and firsthand insight into what it truly takes to succeed in consulting interviews. Having trained and worked within Bain’s rigorous problem‑solving culture, I understand exactly how interviewers assess case structuring and hypothesis first communication. Born and raised in Hawaii with Japanese parents, and fully bilingual in English and Japanese, I am uniquely positioned to coach candidates navigating cross‑border recruiting, whether they are applying to MBB offices in Japan or coming from non‑traditional or international backgrounds. My coaching goes beyond “case tips" as I help candidates build authentic stories, sharpen judgment under pressure, and internalize the consultant mindset that MBB firms look for—tailored to both Western and Japanese interview expectations.
