Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi everyone — I was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company for over 3 years. Unlike a lot of folks, I didn’t come in with a business background. I only took one business class in undergrad and had zero business internships. You can fact-check that on my LinkedIn. I didn’t intern at McKinsey either — I actually applied after a public policy role I had didn’t turn out the way I hoped. Here’s how I can help: I landed the McKinsey offer as a non-traditional applicant from a non-feeder school. If someone like me can break through with the right prep, so can you. As a coach, my first goal is simple: to get you to genuinely believe that you can earn an offer from a top-tier firm like McKinsey, Bain, or BCG. From there, we build a game plan together. I’ve spent years learning the recruiting process inside and out — I still stay connected with current and former recruiters — and I use that insight to coach applicants into offers. I’ve helped friends and former colleagues land roles at McKinsey and other top firms. I lead with clarity, purpose, and compassion. I also work with folks who are already in the firm — helping them chart a clear path, decode feedback, and build a career that’s both strategic and sustainable. I don’t sugarcoat things. I’ll give you the honest truth about what’s going on, what’s working, and what needs to change. At the end of the day, I’m just a chill dude who’s been through the highs and lows of this journey. I know how intense it can get. But if you’re ready to work, I’ll push you to your limits — and make sure you not only get the offer, but thrive once you’re in. Let’s work.

I have extensive interviewing experience, including giving cases, from throughout my professional career. These include MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. More specifically, prior to Booth, I interviewed >100 of people during my time at Cornerstone Research, where I ended my time as the Head of Recruiting for the Boston office for the 2015 season. While at Booth, I conducted MBA Admissions interviews for applicants. With respect to management consulting, I was selected as a BCG MBA fellow prior to starting at Booth and successfully navigated the summer internship recruiting process to be a Bain Summer Associate. Since then, I have given numerous live interviews on behalf of Bain as well as helped countless students while at Booth and at Bain learn how to case successfully. I am really excited to start working with more prospective MBA applicants and management consultants navigate the interview process. From helping to craft behavioral interview answers to learning case frameworks to running practice cases, I am excited to work with you to address your particular needs and feedback areas.
