Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi there! I'm Justin & I'm currently a first-year MBA candidate at MIT Sloan. My career journey began at Penn State where I completed both my bachelor's & master's degrees in accounting before joining ZS Associates as a healthcare consultant. After about a year & a half ZS, I moved over to Boston Consulting Group to gain experience across a variety of industries including the Consumer, Automotive, and Industrial sectors. I've had the pleasure of coaching 10+ individuals on navigating full-time MBA applications (deferred & regular), mastering networking strategies to break into competitive career tracks such as consulting & banking, creating standout resumes, and acing case interviews. Coming from a non-target school, I know how to craft a compelling story & effectively use publically available resources (e.g., LinkedIn) to maximize your chances of success. If you're gearing up to apply to your dream MBA program or break into top consulting firms, let's chat! Together, we can craft a personalized plan that sets you up for success.

I received management consulting offers from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain and have worked at Bain for months on a higher education strategy transformation case. I have case-prepped over 30 UT Austin students, helping multiple students receive offers from Big 3 and Big 4 consulting firms. I have also done 100+ hours of extensive resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn reviews. Your success is my success, and I look forward to working for it together!

I'm a former Dalberg Project Manager, ex-BCG, Co-Founder and Startup Advisor with 15+ years in business strategy, consulting, finance, and innovation across 6 continents in 9 countries. I have a global track record of strategy and execution in private, public, and social sectors, including as a Project Manager at Dalberg Advisors, Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, Consultant with the Tony Blair Institute, and Manager at The Economist. My own diverse background across industries and functions in multiple markets for senior stakeholders has helped others navigate the complexities of strategy consulting, career pivots, narrative development, and overall application improvement to accelerate careers. I've coached hundreds of people, and would love to help guide individuals through application approaches, case interviews, resume reviews, cover letters, technical & behavioral interview preparation, etc. Let's chat to see if there's a fit to develop a compelling application together!

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 former manager at Bain, I know what it takes to break into consulting. Equally important, with my non-traditional background, I know how intimidating the process can be. Throughout the interview rounds, I often felt inadequate, but my coaches believed in me and pushed me to be successful. Paying it forward to humble and hungry applicants has been an honor. Watching people earn their life-changing offer has been incredibly fulfilling. Schedule a free intro call to see if I can help you.

I’ve spent four years at Deloitte Consulting, where I collaborated with Deloitte’s recruiting team to design case interviews, develop evaluation rubrics, and coach candidates through the process. Having seen exactly how firms evaluate talent, I know what it takes to stand out, and I’ve helped dozens of candidates through the recruiting process, many of whom went on to land offers at top firms. Whether you’re tackling your first case, refining your story, or aiming to stand out in interviews, I know what firms are looking for and how to help you shine!

I have helped over 100 students with consulting interview preparation, resume and LinkedIn reviews, and academic applications (deferred MBA programs, fellowships, etc.). I have specifically found a great deal of success in MBB interview prep, helping over 25 students secure MBB offers at a 93% offer rate. My coaching style is highly human-centric and personalized, as I use behavioral health techniques to train students on how to channel their brightness with concision, clarity, and creativity. In terms of credentials, I have been a Scholarship Admissions Interviewer at USC, the President of 180 Degrees Consulting at USC, a Co-Founder of the USC Consulting Consortium, a Founding USC Recruiting Lead at McKinsey & Company, and the CEO of Blue Modern Advisory, a Professional Mentorship startup.

Welcome, bienvenidos, bem-vindos! I'm a former management consultant at McKinsey & Company with almost 5 years at the firm across the United States and Latin America - whether you need help with case interview preparation, resume optimization, or behavioral interview techniques, I'm happy to help guide you - I even interviewed more than 40 candidates for Analyst and Associate roles (including summer internships) during my time at McKinsey! Additionally, I am trilingual - I'm a native English speaker originally from the United States, but I have lived and worked in Mexico and Brazil and am happy to help out in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Please feel free to reach out!

Annie worked as a Consulting Peer Advisor at the University of Michigan's University Career Center, where she provided comprehensive feedback to 10+ students weekly on mock behavioral and consulting case interviews. She helped 7 students secure an internship or full-time offer after continuous preparation and mentorship to the students, and had a client satisfaction rating of 100%. Annie has been through the consulting preparation stages in college when she applied for the Big 3 and Big 4 firms, and she has experience casing with partners and associates from McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Pwc, Deloitte, and many other boutique consulting firms. Annie offers personalized and comprehensive consulting coaching plans to help students not only break into the consulting industry, but to prepare them for long-term career success.

I’ve spent my career behind the scenes at McKinsey and other top consulting firms, designing and running the very systems that decide who gets hired. I led global implementation and training for McKinsey’s structured interviewing process, supported thousands of interviews across multiple regions, and trained interviewers to assess talent consistently and fairly. I know exactly what firms like McKinsey are looking for, because I helped build the frameworks they use. Now, I coach candidates to prepare with precision and confidence. Whether you’re tackling PEI stories, case interviews, or simply trying to stand out in a competitive field, I’ll help you decode what’s really expected and position yourself as the clear choice.
