Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.

As an analytics and management consultant, I delivered transformative insights across multiple industries, driving strategic decision-making through advanced data analytics. My work resulted in $15M in cost savings for a Fortune 500 retail client by optimizing supply chain operations using predictive modeling. I led cross-functional teams in developing AI-driven customer segmentation strategies, improving marketing ROI by 22%. Successfully implemented data governance frameworks for financial services clients, enhancing regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Developed and presented executive-level dashboards that translated complex data into actionable business intelligence, enabling senior leadership to make more informed strategic decisions.

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.

- I worked as part of the recruiting team and am very familiar with the process and what management consultants are looking for: 1) worked in the networking sessions and diversity sessions, 2) coffee chats, 3) resume and cover letter reviews (both as initial reader and grader and final approver to go to the next round for 300+ applications), and 4) behavioral and case interviews (20+ candidates). I was the diversity recruiting lead for Stanford. - I have worked with multiple clients extensively on their resumes and cover letters, talking points for their behavioral interviews, and case interview prep. They are now consultants at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, and FSG (a top social impact firm alongside Dalberg and Bridgespan). I also have worked with 75+ individuals in a less extensive capacity on their consulting recruiting process (e.g., resume help or doing a case interview)
