Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I'm Maryam, a Wharton MBA (Class of 2026) and incoming BCG consultant in San Francisco, with prior experience advising Fortune 500 clients at Accenture. I've lived the consulting recruiting process from every angle: as a candidate who cracked it for the summer internship and got a return offer, and as someone who has spent years working with MBB consultants and knowing what the best firms look for. Breaking into management consulting is one of the most demanding recruiting processes out there, but more importantly, one of the most coachable. The difference between candidates who get offers and those who don't rarely comes down to intelligence. It comes down to how clearly you can structure your thinking, how compellingly you tell your story, and how confidently you show up. Those are things you can build, and I can help you build them. Whether you're preparing for case interviews, refining your personal narrative, navigating the networking side of recruiting, or figuring out how to position a non-traditional background, I'll bring both the insider knowledge and the honest feedback you need to put your best foot forward. I know what BCG and firms like it are looking for, because that's where I'll be full-time!

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.
