Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I successfully recruited for an MBA Consultant internship at the Boston Consulting Group and received a return offer upon the end of my internship. While at Kellogg, I have coached dozens of 1st year MBA students interested in consulting in both case and behavioral interviews, networking and the application process as a whole. I led an "interview practice group", meeting with 6 1st year students weekly for 3 months to coach them and give them practice interviews. This position also led me to give practice interviews and detailed advice to many other students, several on an ongoing basis. I have received training from BCG on how to coach and evaluate applicants and have used that to coach dozens of MBA students.

I'm a Project Leader at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) with experience managing teams and driving value for Fortune 500 companies. At BCG, I specialize in Gen AI, org design, and enterprise transformation, helping clients unlock productivity and achieve significant results. As a coach, I've worked with over 25 clients, leveraging my experience and insights to help them nail the case interview and easily demonstrate fit. Reach out to me, and let's discuss how I can help you land the offer!

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.

Hello! I'm Nels, an incoming Associate at Boston Consulting Group with a robust background in strategy and consulting. As someone who secured an full time offer with BCG from a non-target school, I understand the unique challenges and strategies needed to break into top consulting firms. I've successfully coached 20+ peers. Casing and resumes are table stakes. I have figured out how to push further than that. Whether you're looking to enhance your networking strategy or need guidance on your consulting journey, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your career goals!

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 Distinctive (highest performance rating) McKinsey EM, popular people leader, and core member of our recruiting team, I know what it takes to not only get into McKinsey but also perform at the top of your class. During my time at McKinsey I interviewed >100 candidates and sat in >20 decision meetings. I understand the difference between “good” and “great” and love breaking down the complex and opaque interview process into manageable - and even fun - prep work. I pride myself in being a great people leader and have coached countless MBA, undergrads, and experienced hires through successful interviews.

Hot take: Breaking into consulting is easier than you think, but nobody does it alone. I’ve helped 80+ clients navigate the application and interview process, and I think coaching should be fun and stress-free. Let’s chat!

Prior to starting at Kellogg, I was selected as a McKinsey Emerging Scholar and pursued management consulting post-MBA. I received 3/3 internship offers from McKinsey, BCG, & Bain. I can help you understand differences between the firms, how to prepare differently, and what it takes to succeed. After joining Bain's Chicago office post-Kellogg, I also served as the on-campus rep for Global Bain recruiting where I spent 6 months meeting and preparing full-time students for the consulting interview process. I've given more prep case interviews than I can count, including traditional case and behavioral, and have a unique arsenal of tips to prepare you to succeed in MBB interviews.

I spent 7 years at BCG, from Associate to Project Leader. During this time, I was also first Recruiting Coach and then Interviewer, having coached and interviewed 100+ applicants for Associate & Consultant positions. I did my MBA degree at INSEAD, during which I coached 50+ of my co-students who were trying to get into Consulting. Finally, after leaving consulting, I also intensively coached my wife who as a result got offers from McKinsey, BCG and Bain.
