Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

As an ex-BCG Project Leader and Interviewer, I'm intimately familiar with the consulting interview process, spanning from case to behavioral interviews. I was President of Consulting Prep for both Wharton's Consulting Club (MBA) and UT Austin's Consulting club (Undergrad), through which I've developed a "ground up" approach to building specific core consulting interview skills, then integrating them into a strong overall case interviewing muscle. My approach has garnered significant positive feedback and recognition, resulting in helping over 200 mentees achieve offers at top firms. For my efforts, I was awarded the Career Mentorship award at Wharton. I am fortunate to still have strong contact with many of my mentees, nearly all of whom have gone on great careers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Deloitte, and Accenture (as well as other firms). Several of these mentees have gone on to achieve great post-consulting careers as well, ranging from Private Equity, to Tech Product Management, to Corporate Strategy I break down my feedback on each case interview into 5 areas, and give detailed, actionable feedback on each: Clarification, Frameworking, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and Synthesis. This approach has been strongly validated by mentees and resulted in offers across all top firms. My foundations-first approach has led to being named a Leland Top 10 Management Consulting Coach in 2025, as well as a Top 50 coach across all disciplines in 2024.

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 am an ex-Bain with over 9 years of experience. Having been interviewed by several strategy consulting companies before starting my consulting career and having interviewed over 1,200 candidates across various seniority levels, I have a deep understanding of how the application process feels and what consulting firms look for. In addition, I have been a mentor and coach for over 9 years for former colleagues at Bain & Company as well as for selected individuals from my alma mater, ESCP Business School, Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, and Schmalenbach-Stiftung. I am confident that I can provide a unique coaching experience, including: • Real-life case studies: All the case studies we practice are based on real projects from my own strategy consulting experience and have been tested in live interviews. • In-depth, recent knowledge: With over 9 years of experience in strategy consulting and recruiting, I am thoroughly familiar with all the details of the current recruiting processes and can provide up-to-date advice. • Company-specific information: Through my network of seasoned strategy consulting professionals, I can provide exclusive, in-house information to help guide you through the recruiting process.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in management consulting and product management, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier firms like McKinsey & Company and Amazon. At McKinsey, I honed my skills in defining strategic roadmaps and conducting technical due diligence, which are crucial for mastering the consulting interview process. My time at Amazon further sharpened my ability to drive data-driven decision-making and strategic product development. I am passionate about helping aspiring consultants navigate the challenging recruitment landscape, offering comprehensive coaching in case interviews, behavioral interviews, and application strategy. Let's connect to tailor a plan that will help you break into your dream consulting role!

I'm a former Bain consultant and spent several years helping dozens of potential MBB candidates practice case interviews, prepare applications, and network. I come from a non-business major (Computer Science) and can help STEM students optimize their resumes, interviews, and recruiting strategy to stand out. During my time at Bain, I spent over a year and a half in the Private Equity Group. I also did a number of growth strategy and performance improvement cases for large companies in the Tech, Telecommunications, and Education industries. After almost 3 years at Bain, I left to join a venture-capital fund. Since then, I've joined a high-growth startup as a product manager. I can speak to intentional professional development in an MBB environment and the transition from consulting to VC/tech startup ecosystem.

I’m a former McKinsey Business Analyst with experience on both sides of the table, as a successful applicant and as a recruiter. I know what MBB and other top firms are looking for, and how to help you stand out. While at McKinsey, I led campus recruiting efforts for WashU, where I evaluated hundreds of consulting candidates. I ran case prep workshops, reviewed resumes, and 1:1 coaching sessions to prepare students for the rigorous interview process. Internally, I also led a hiring accelerator for a client where I built the hiring rubrics, screened applications, and advised executives on who to interview and hire, giving me firsthand insight into how firms make hiring decisions. Today, I’m on Google’s Business Operations & Strategy team — a small, high-impact group that drives cross-functional AI strategy across the company. As a coach, I’ve helped 50+ candidates land offers. My background at a top consulting firm and tech companies allow me to help you tell a compelling story, sharpen your candidacy, network efficiently, and build a personalized recruiting game plan. Coaching is deeply personal for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors who invested in me, and I love paying that forward. Whether you're navigating your first consulting application or pushing for a final-round breakthrough, I’d love to help you land the job.

I successfully broke into Bain as a non-business major at a non-target school. Having just gone through the consulting recruitment process, I understand exactly what it takes to succeed at every stage. I have both given and received over 100 case interviews while mentoring friends and peers, and I am deeply familiar with the behavioral interview process, storytelling, and building strong connections with interviewers. I now joined Leland to work with ambitious students who want clear, structured, and practical guidance across every component of consulting recruiting, from casing and fit to confidence and communication!

Management consulting at a top-tier firm can supercharge your career, but getting in can be a daunting process, especially if you come from a non-traditional background. I'm here to help! Leveraging three years at Bain on the "other side" of recruiting, I provide coaching for the entire recruiting process, from networking strategy and resume reviews to case and behavioral interview prep. A little bit about me: I spent three years at Bain & Company as a consultant and manager, after graduating from Michigan Ross with my MBA. I was heavily involved in recruiting at Bain: I was an on-campus recruiter for Pride @ Bain nationally, conducted undergraduate (associate consultant) interviews, supervised interns across Bain's Summer Associate, BASE, and ADvantage programs, and authored an MBA interview case. I've conducted over 300 mock consulting case interviews during my time at Bain and Ross, and I've successfully coached several individuals in getting MBB offers, many from non-traditional backgrounds. Let's connect and chart your path to success in consulting!
