Hello and welcome to my profile! With extensive experience at L.E.K.

I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants navigate the competitive application process, offering comprehensive support in resume building, networking strategies, and generally learning more about what the job entails and if it would be the right fit for you! Let's connect to tailor a plan that aligns with your career aspirations and sets you on the path to success in management consulting!

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.

I am a thought leader in the space (450K+ students and professionals educated via LinkedIn content). I received offers from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG in the U.S., BCG Copenhagen, and was one of the 1st BCG interns offered to work part-time prior to graduation. In Summer 2025, my candidates received 25+ offers at firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, LEK, Capital One, AQR, etc. That is 1+ offer a week. I've advised students from 50+ universities across 6 continents, and generated access to $10M+ in wages for my candidates.

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.

Received internship and full-time offer from Bain & Company during the summer of my freshman year in college. Worked full-time at Bain San Francisco (primarily in the Private Equity Group) for ~2 years, consistently achieving top percentile performance ratings. Also can speak about how I chose consulting between offers from hedge funds, product, and software.

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.

I’m qualified to coach Management Consulting because I’ve been on both sides of the process: I worked as a management consultant at Bain & Company, where I spent a year in the Private Equity Group conducting commercial due diligences for PE clients across a range of industries, including edtech, blockchain, SaaS, and acting software. I also worked on a biotech operating model engagement, which gave me experience with broader strategic and organizational problem-solving beyond diligence work. In addition to my consulting background, I’ve spent significant time helping candidates prepare for case interviews. I have coached multiple people who went on to receive an offers from Bain, and I’ve since built software specifically designed to help candidates practice and improve their casing skills. My coaching combines real consulting experience, pattern recognition from actual case work, and practical feedback that helps candidates become sharper, more structured, and more confident in interviews.
