Private Equity Coaches, Events, and Resources

I have significant experience recruiting for jobs in finance, including both private equity associate and hedge fund roles. I also served as an interviewer and mentor for junior employees during my time in finance, so I am well-positioned to help current students or people in other roles make the transition. I am excited to help and can assist with anything throughout the process, from resume review and networking to case studies, final round interviews, and deciding between offers. Feel free to reach out and looking forward to getting in touch!

Welcome to my profile! I’m currently a Private Equity Associate at Abry Partners, a Boston-based firm managing over $18B in assets. I began my career in Investment Banking at Solomon Partners and graduated from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. At Solomon, I was actively involved in recruiting — interviewing and screening 50+ candidates — and developed a strong sense of what top firms are really looking for. I’ve since gone through the on-cycle private equity process myself and know how tough and opaque it can feel, especially without the right guidance. I’m here to help demystify the process — whether you’re prepping for IB/PE interviews, refining your story, or just trying to break in. Let’s connect.

I built my career in Private Equity and Investment Banking by being both highly effective and highly trusted—well-liked by my teams and well-respected by leadership. Before PE, I earned offers at Credit Suisse and Jefferies, and in PE I worked across sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support while building a strong relationship with the Head of the division, giving me real insight into how top leaders evaluate talent. As a co-founder of US Hyperbarics, I also built a revenue-generating business from the ground up, demonstrating my entrepreneurial drive and hands-on leadership. As a coach, I bring insider experience and a people-first approach to help you stand out and win in competitive recruiting.

I spent 3 years working at Sylva (PE fund buying training / L&D firms) as an Operating Partner. I ran their Chief of Staff and BizOps Network businesses, growing them 40% YoY. I reported directly to the CEO / Managing Partner. I was brought into Sylva by way of acquisition; my company Upslope was a training firm for Operations professionals. I started a search fund, diligenced 100+ companies, acquired one, and have grown it 30% YoY. I am in the process of acquiring another company to bolt-on.

Breaking into Private Equity is hard. Interviews are long and nerve-wracking. Competition is intense. Knowing where to start and staying motivated can be challenging. There's no silver bullet. It takes grit and persistence. I had walked this path on my own so you won't have to. I transitioned asset classes and secured a role at Francisco Partners with no previous PE experience. I am passionate about helping aspiring professionals land roles in competitive fields and can assist by offering insights into the recruitment process, interview preparation, and networking strategies. Let's connect and chart your path to success in private equity!

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.

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.
