Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Michigan's Ross School of Business and a robust career at industry giants like Google, Amazon, and Square, I am well-equipped to guide you into the world of management consulting. My experience as a Senior Program Manager at Google and Supply Planning Manager at Square has sharpened my strategic planning and project management skills, essential for consulting success. Let's connect to develop a tailored strategy that will help you achieve your consulting career goals!

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!

As a Consultant at Oliver Wyman, I bring extensive experience in resume screening, case prep, and interview coaching, having led undergraduate recruiting during our most recent application cycle. I was able to succesfully pivot from finance to consulting via prior internships in investment banking at Barclays and private equity at Trive Capital, allowing me to offer a well-rounded perspective to candidates looking to make a similar transition. I now specialize in digital, aviation, and financial services, delivering impactful strategies for leading clients. I’ve successfully mentored over 30 students, helping them secure positions at top consulting firms. Let’s work together to master your case interviews and land your dream job in consulting! Reach out to get started.

What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student and former Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company. I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength. I was a part of Bain's recruiting team and started 1GEN at Bain (now called "First at Bain"), the affinity group for first generation college students/those from low-income backgrounds (FGLI). My biggest value is that I go beyond case interview prep and instead focus on how to 1) get the interview, 2) nail the soft skills, and 3) case interview perfectly.

I know case prep can feel overwhelming - I’ve been there. As a Harvard MBA and BCG consultant, I help candidates build structure, calm, and confidence so they can think like consultants, not just sound like them. Great casing isn’t about memorizing frameworks. It’s about learning to think clearly under pressure. I’ll show you how to break down problems logically and communicate with poise and impact. At HBS, I’ve tutored peers in strategy, supported classmates through the consulting recruiting process, and served as a resource for case practice and interviews. My coaching blends analytical rigor with empathy and confidence-building - helping candidates not only sharpen their structure, but also show up with authenticity and clarity. Whether you’re mastering the fundamentals, refining your synthesis, or practicing personal fit stories, I’ll help you perform at your best and reach your goals.

Hello and welcome to my profile! As an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, I have led diverse teams in advising clients on growth strategies and large-scale transformations. My experience includes developing a $10B data strategy for a Fortune 500 firm and leading a team of 20+ data scientists and developers to create an AI-powered web application for a global pharmaceutical sales force. With an MBA from Columbia Business School, where I was a Glenn Hubbard Scholar Merit Fellow, I bring a strong foundation in business strategy and leadership. I specialize in helping clients master the consulting application process, including case interviews, resume building, and behavioral interview prep. Let's connect to discuss how I can help you achieve your consulting career goals!

After rigorous training on how to interview for the top-tier consulting firms, I ran over 140 case studies with peers to prepare myself and my peers for interviews. I am an incoming consultant for MBB and am able to help with both case study and behavioral interview preparation. I helped my coachees to land jobs at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, PwC, EYP, and more. I'm an expert networker and can help you curate a plan to approach your entire application and interview process, including working through an extended timeline to manage the process end-to-end.

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.

I worked at BCG for ~9 years, starting as an Associate and receiving direct promotions to Partner. While at BCG, I led our office recruiting (including performing 200+ final round interviews) and our Career Development Committee for Associates & Consultants, so I know both how to get the offer and also succeed at the job over time. Whether you need assistance with case interviews, fit questions, resume refinement, or strategic career advice, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. While in undergrad, I received offers from all 3 MBB firms and ultimately selected BCG. I know what it takes to get Consulting offers and am happy to help you however I can. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan for your consulting career success!
