Private Equity Coaches, Events, and Resources

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 successfully recruited into PE with multiple offers coming out of Goldman Sachs and joined THL. I then moved to a crossover software fund where I did PE & Hedge Fund style investments. I have successfully mentored over 300 professionals and students on IB, PE, and HF recruiting. I also designed a course that teaches the PE recruiting process from start to finish. I would welcome the opportunity to help you like I’ve helped so many others on your journey.

With nearly three decades advising boards, CEOs, and investors across private equity and venture-backed companies, I bring a deep understanding of what drives success in the PE ecosystem. I’ve partnered with leading sponsors including Thoma Bravo, KKR, Apollo, Blackstone, Clearlake, Insight, Francisco Partners, and Apax among many, many others to assess, recruit, and coach executives through transformational value-creation journeys — from pre-acquisition diligence to exit. Having completed 450+ executive placements and been directly involved in 40+ successful exits creating over $25B in enterprise value, I’ve developed an insider’s view of how talent decisions shape investment outcomes. That experience enables me to coach aspiring and current PE leaders with a pragmatic, investor-aligned lens — focused on readiness, impact, and the leadership behaviors that creates value.

I began my career in M&A advisory at Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong, where I advised on cross-border transactions across Asia. I then joined EQT Partners, a leading global private equity firm, where I evaluated investments and supported portfolio company growth. Before that, I completed a 6-month internship at KKR during college, which first sparked my interest in private equity.

I recruited directly into private equity from undergrad at Goldman Sachs and have gone through the on-cycle process.

With a robust background in private equity and strategic finance, I bring a wealth of experience to help you navigate the competitive landscape of private equity careers. As a former Private Equity Associate at Ara Partners, I worked on five portfolio companies and closed two platform investments in the energy / decarbonization sector, providing me with firsthand insights into the intricacies of the industry. My journey also includes roles at EIG (an infrastructure PE fund) and J.P. Morgan, where I honed my skills in energy infrastructure and investment banking. I am well-equipped to guide you through the nuances of private equity applications and interviews, especially if you have an engineering background. I am also a graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA) and Princeton University, and closely worked with the admissions team on crafting an overall admissions strategy. I'm happy to assist with business school or college applications and strategies to maximize your admission chances.

Having trouble deciding between working in venture, growth, or buyout? Same. I interviewed with dozens of firms in numerous industries to find the right place. I landed offers at a handful of firms with different strategies until i ultimately landed at The Chernin Group (TCG) where i was focused on an industry of real interest. Sports and media is one of the hottest assets to invest in but has limited seats. I am here to help you land your dream role working in sports and media.
