Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi everyone and thank you for checking out my profile! I am an experienced consultant at both BCG and L.E.K. Consulting and am a current MBA student at the Wharton School. As a consultant, I have firsthand experience navigating the consulting recruiting and interviewing process, both internships and full time, and understand what it takes to succeed among the competitive applicant pool. During my career, I have built my expertise within TMT, Media/Entertainment, Consumer, and Private Equity practice areas, while serving my local offices in both the Recruiting and Social Impact Committees. I've successfully coached many individuals, from formal coaching to helping out my classmates in my MBA and undergraduate programs, helping them refine their applications, master the case interview process, and land job offers at top consulting firms. Whether you're looking for comprehensive interview prep, strategic application advice, or career mentorship, I'm here to help you achieve your career goals in consulting and beyond. Feel free to reach out, and I would be honored to help your journey to success!

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.

MBB Coaching • Consultant at McKinsey & Co , with casework focused on job training for the formerly incarcerated and workforce development for at-risk youth • Interview-trained by McKinsey and led Midwest recruiting efforts, allowing me to give high-quality case prep and behavioral / PEI mocks for MBB interviews CAREER BEYOND MBB • What I'm Doing Now | Based in NYC working on a stealth, marketplace startup while continuing various forms of advisory work • Public Policy | Prior to Stanford, worked on the Policy Team for the Chicago Mayor's Office under Mayor Rahm Emanuel, focusing on 5G infrastructure policy, criminal justice policy, and citywide corporate/economic development deals • PE / VC / Startup Advising | After Stanford, worked in Bain's Private Equity Group on various due diliegences, managed deals with several venture capital firms, and advised multiple startups on growth and go-to-market strategy

Having pivoted mid-career into consulting, put my time in at BCG, and exited as a venture-backed founder and entrepreneur, I have personal experience across the entire consulting career lifecycle, with a special awareness that many people seek consulting as a launching pad, not as a lifelong vocation. I've provided case interview preparation for hundreds of candidates who have gone on to BCG, McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, Strategy&, LEK, and other top-tier firms. I've also worked directly with BCG recruiters on the back end of the recruiting process and continue to retain a robust network within many top firms, ranging from undergrad hires to partners. More broadly, I am incredibly passionate about coaching beyond the nuts and bolts of interview prep. I am also an executive and career coach, working primarily with mid-career professionals (often from tech and consulting backgrounds) to develop professional clarity, an improved sense of personal agency, and increased leadership and executive capacity.

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.

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 landed a BCG offer as well as three other consulting offers, and I’ve since coached 20+ students - 7 of whom went on to secure MBB offers, and 12 other securing other elusive job offers. What sets me apart as a coach is my hands-on, highly prescriptive style: I don’t just give feedback, I give you a clear roadmap, daily regimens, and structured resources to transform you into a casing machine no matter your starting point. Having personally done ~80 cases with MBB admitters and given 150+ mock interviews myself, I know exactly how to diagnose the root cause of your weaknesses and help you build targeted, lasting improvements. If you’re looking for a coach who will roll up her sleeves, push you with precision, and get you results, I’d love to partner with you.

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.

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.
