Private Equity Coaches, Events, and Resources

I help ambitious professionals break into private equity — with a focus on growth equity and buyout roles — by combining hands-on deal experience with personalized, high-impact coaching. Whether you're coming from investment banking, consulting, or a nontraditional background, I’ll work with you to sharpen your story, master technicals, and confidently navigate both on-cycle and off-cycle recruiting processes. My own path into private equity was nontraditional. I’m the Founder of Zeus Global, an independent PE platform where I’ve led full deal processes — from sourcing and underwriting to diligence and capital formation — across live acquisitions in SaaS and tech-enabled services. Before launching Zeus, I led growth and middle-market investing at a $5B family office, and held investment roles at LeapFrog Investments and the Africa Finance Corporation. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB. I’ve coached candidates across every stage, from pre-MBA associates and undergrads targeting analyst programs to post-MBA professionals navigating VP-track interviews. I specialize in helping “non-obvious” profiles break in by reframing their experience into an investor-ready narrative and building the technical and commercial acumen that top-tier PE firms demand.

I bring deep, hands-on experience from the world of private equity, having been a PE associate and then led and scaled PE-backed businesses as President and operator. I understand firsthand the recruiting process, the diligence required to evaluate opportunities, and the expectations PE firms have for top talent. With an MBA from Stanford, I’ve built my career navigating the intersection of finance, strategy, and operational leadership—skills I now use to help clients break into and thrive in private equity. My coaching blends insider knowledge of how PE firms think with practical, tactical guidance on resumes, interviews, case prep, and networking. Whether you’re a consultant or banker targeting the buy side, or a professional exploring a transition into PE-backed operating roles, I’ll help you position your story, sharpen your skills, and approach the process with confidence. Clients come away not just prepared for the mechanics of recruiting, but with the insight and judgment to stand out to firms seeking future leaders.

I worked at two generalist private equity firms focused on control investing in the middle market. I was able to successfully navigate the rigorous onboarding process each firm had - including a challenging case study under a time limit. During my experience in private equity, I was given the opportunity to invest in both domestic and international companies (US, UK, Romania) and had an average deal size of $100M. I enjoy helping clients navigate the PE recruiting cycle and strengthen their investment approach, technical capabilities, and nail their PE interviews. After my time in private equity, I was fortunate to attend HBS and can help clients differentiate if they are coming from a traditional background.

Private Equity Investing Associate with previous bulge-bracket Investment Banking Experience. I'm fit to help candidates break into Private Equity because I was an underqualified candidate who used a proactive networking and self-education strategy to stand out in the interview process and ace the technicals. When I quit my Track & Field team to pursue Investment Banking in college, I was already behind my peers' technical prep, recruiting, and club experience. I spent the next few years playing catch-up, which prepared me for the very fast on-cycle recruiting process for Private Equity Associates. All of this is to say, I understand how you may feel like there are many candidates that are more qualified than you or have overcome greater struggles, but I can help you position yourself to get your dream job.

Recruiting for private equity was a difficult process for me, especially while I was working 80+ hours in a full-time investment banking role. I was able to make an effective schedule to prepare for interviews that was efficiently tailored to how to succeed in the PE interviews. I am excited to share my knowledge as well as wealth of resources to help you land your dream job in PE.

My ability to communicate complex financial concepts in a clear and concise manner, as well as my strong network within the industry, can be invaluable in helping individuals navigate the often-challenging landscape of private equity recruiting.
