Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

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!

Many people believe that breaking into consulting is extremely hard, but with some guidance and practice, breaking in becomes quite simple. After recruiting for McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, and EY, case interview were not only fun but also led to successful offers! Let's work together for you to earn what you deserve. Clients have earned offers at Boston Consulting Group, Millennium Management, Palantir Technologies, AWS, EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FBI, IBM, SAS, Food Lion (Strategy & Innovation), and UNC Chapel Hill.

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.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a former McKinsey Digital consultant who helps candidates break into top-tier consulting firms with confidence and clarity. Over the past few years, I’ve coached more than 40 aspiring consultants, from undergraduates to experienced professionals, who went on to secure offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, and other leading firms. Drawing on my McKinsey experience in digital strategy, product management, and client delivery, I teach candidates how to think, communicate, and problem-solve like consultants. My coaching combines insider frameworks, live case simulations, and tailored feedback to sharpen analytical rigor, structure, and executive presence. Beyond interview prep, I help clients craft powerful resumes and personal stories that stand out in a competitive recruiting process. My goal is to not only help you land the offer, but to equip you with the skills and confidence to thrive once you do.

As close to the real final round experience as you can possibly get! Leveraging real final round prep cases utilized in prior cycles, you will get authentic final round mock practice (with case, behaviorals, or both), as well as detailed, line-by-line feedback on what went well vs. what didn't, how you would have scored if it was a real interview, and actionable and specific advice on how to improve on any development areas. As an Associate Partner at Bain & Co., I've been leading final round interviews for Associate Consultant and Consultant roles for the past ~7 years, and I know exactly how consulting firms think about their selection process, and how you can stand out in a competitive field. I know how transformative a career in consulting can be. I also know firsthand how difficult and stressful it can be to go through the interview process, which is becoming more competitive each year. Getting an offer at a premier consulting firm takes more than just dozens of practice consulting cases - understanding exactly what the firms are looking for, and how to hit exactly those points - can be the difference between success and failure. I look forward to helping you start your career in consulting!
