Welcome! I have experience in mega-fund and middle-market private equity. Together, we can work through networking strategies to land an interview; behavrioral, technical, case study, and modeling interview preparation; offer management / negotiation, and strategies to be successful on the job once you land an offer. We can also align on what type of firm (mega-fund vs. middle-market) best aligns with your career goals. Breaking into private equity is challenging but rewarding, and I'm delighted to guide you on this part of your career path. I bring a warm, practical approach to coaching and can't wait to meet you!

Welcome to my profile! I’m a Wharton graduate with an MBA from Harvard Business School and bring over 15 years of experience in finance. For the past decade, I’ve been at Warburg Pincus—a top-10 global private equity firm managing over $100 billion—where I’m currently a Principal. Throughout my career, I’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates and directly mentored dozens of Analysts, Associates, and Vice Presidents. I know firsthand what it takes to break into competitive finance roles and advance within them. You may have come across my “Comprehensive Finance Interview Guide,” which I originally wrote over a decade ago while preparing for my own private equity recruiting—just one of many resources I’ve created to help others land top roles. Whether you’re preparing for investment banking, private equity, or business school, I offer targeted and tailored coaching across resume development, mock interviews, technical prep, recruiting strategy, and more.

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.
