Welcome to my profile! I'm Alex Shushunov, a former McKinsey consultant and current Product Manager at Supernal. With over 14 years of experience in aerospace and defense, I have successfully led diverse, multi-component teams in challenging environments. As an MBA graduate from the University of Michigan, I have focused exclusively on serving clients in the aerospace, defense, space, and aviation sectors. I have advised senior leadership on strategic growth, operational excellence, transformation and implementation, commercial excellence, supply chain optimization, and project/program management. While working at both Accenture and McKinsey, I was an interviewer as well as a campus and veteran recruiting lead. Over the past 5 years, I've coached over 100+ people on consulting case interview prep with a high rate of success. I know what exactly what consulting firms are looking for, so let me help you get there!

I'm a former Dalberg Project Manager, ex-BCG, Co-Founder and Startup Advisor with 15+ years in business strategy, consulting, finance, and innovation across 6 continents in 9 countries. I have a global track record of strategy and execution in private, public, and social sectors, including as a Project Manager at Dalberg Advisors, Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, Consultant with the Tony Blair Institute, and Manager at The Economist. My own diverse background across industries and functions in multiple markets for senior stakeholders has helped others navigate the complexities of strategy consulting, career pivots, narrative development, and overall application improvement to accelerate careers. I've coached hundreds of people, and would love to help guide individuals through application approaches, case interviews, resume reviews, cover letters, technical & behavioral interview preparation, etc. Let's chat to see if there's a fit to develop a compelling application together!

Hi everyone and thank you for checking out my profile! I am an experienced consultant at both BCG and L.E.K. Consulting and am a current MBA student at the Wharton School. As a consultant, I have firsthand experience navigating the consulting recruiting and interviewing process, both internships and full time, and understand what it takes to succeed among the competitive applicant pool. During my career, I have built my expertise within TMT, Media/Entertainment, Consumer, and Private Equity practice areas, while serving my local offices in both the Recruiting and Social Impact Committees. I've successfully coached many individuals, from formal coaching to helping out my classmates in my MBA and undergraduate programs, helping them refine their applications, master the case interview process, and land job offers at top consulting firms. Whether you're looking for comprehensive interview prep, strategic application advice, or career mentorship, I'm here to help you achieve your career goals in consulting and beyond. Feel free to reach out, and I would be honored to help your journey to success!

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.

MBB Coaching • Consultant at McKinsey & Co , with casework focused on job training for the formerly incarcerated and workforce development for at-risk youth • Interview-trained by McKinsey and led Midwest recruiting efforts, allowing me to give high-quality case prep and behavioral / PEI mocks for MBB interviews CAREER BEYOND MBB • What I'm Doing Now | Based in NYC working on a stealth, marketplace startup while continuing various forms of advisory work • Public Policy | Prior to Stanford, worked on the Policy Team for the Chicago Mayor's Office under Mayor Rahm Emanuel, focusing on 5G infrastructure policy, criminal justice policy, and citywide corporate/economic development deals • PE / VC / Startup Advising | After Stanford, worked in Bain's Private Equity Group on various due diliegences, managed deals with several venture capital firms, and advised multiple startups on growth and go-to-market strategy

I spent seven years at McKinsey, all of which served to help me understand with great clarity what consultants (both at their job, and when they're interviewing candidates) care about, look for, and have curiosity toward when it comes to looking for people with the potential to succeed at top consulting firms. I've managed over 70 consultants and coached over 100 individuals on resume prep, behavioral storytelling, and case interviewing. I believe in breaking down each topic into individual frameworks that help you understand not just how to be successful, but also why the approach works, giving you a roadmap for how to continually develop your skills both in our coaching sessions and in your own individual preparation.

I landed a BCG offer as well as three other consulting offers, and I’ve since coached 20+ students - 7 of whom went on to secure MBB offers, and 12 other securing other elusive job offers. What sets me apart as a coach is my hands-on, highly prescriptive style: I don’t just give feedback, I give you a clear roadmap, daily regimens, and structured resources to transform you into a casing machine no matter your starting point. Having personally done ~80 cases with MBB admitters and given 150+ mock interviews myself, I know exactly how to diagnose the root cause of your weaknesses and help you build targeted, lasting improvements. If you’re looking for a coach who will roll up her sleeves, push you with precision, and get you results, I’d love to partner with you.

If you want senior-level, no-fluff coaching for MBB recruiting, you’re in the right place. I spent 4.5 years at Bain and two of those years as a case team manager leading teams and training consultants. I have interviewed candidates across undergrad, MBA, advanced degree, and experienced hire pipelines, and I have been in the hiring committee rooms where final offer decisions get made. That perspective matters because I can tell you what interviewers are actually listening for, how to avoid common traps, and what it takes to earn a confident yes in a competitive slate. I also care deeply about coaching and development. At Bain, I mentored case team members on the skills that separate great consultants from good ones so you are not only prepared to land the offer, but to thrive once you start. I have worked across Bain’s Seattle, San Francisco, and Brussels offices, and I earned offers from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey during MBA recruiting. If you are aiming for MBB and want candid, senior feedback with a clear plan to improve fast, I would love to work together.
