Private Equity Coaches, Events, and Resources

I have spent over 7 years in finance, interviewed at over 50 PE funds and recruited for the PE fund i previously worked at. I have a deep understanding of how to prep for interviews, make your application stand out and most importantly, stay focused on the goals to find the right fund for you.

With a robust background in both investment banking and private equity, I have successfully navigated the competitive recruiting landscape to secure positions at top-tier firms like Lazard and a newly formed $500M private equity fund. I also recently served as Director of Growth Strategy at a leading PPM company, where I was instrumental in shaping strategic growth initiatives. As someone who has been through the rigorous recruiting process and emerged at the top of my field, I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals in private equity. My hands-on experience and deep understanding of what top firms are looking for will guide you through each step of the recruiting journey, from resume crafting to interview prep and offer negotiation. Whether you’re breaking into the industry or looking to advance your career, I’m here to provide actionable insights, personalized feedback, and a roadmap to success. Let’s work together to elevate your career and secure your next role in private equity.

Based on my extensive experience in private equity and investment banking at top-tier firms such as H.I.G. Capital, Warburg Pincus and J.P. Morgan, I'm highly qualified to coach individuals on private equity recruiting. In addition to technical expertise, my experience in mentoring and coaching others has also equipped me with the skills to guide aspiring private equity professionals through the recruiting process. 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. With my guidance and support, aspiring private equity professionals can develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in this highly competitive industry.

I broke into private equity at 19, landed an investment banking job offer mid-flight, and joined KKR straight out of undergrad. Since then, I’ve led ~$3B in deals across buyout, growth, and venture, working directly with founders, CEOs, and billion-dollar funds. I’m especially passionate about helping non-target, underrepresented, and ambitious students get offers. All coaching with me comes with complimentary documents and guides :)

With three years as an investor on American Securities’ Investment Team, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the private equity recruiting process, including on-cycle and off-cycle interviews, and navigating headhunter relationships. At American Securities, I was promoted to Senior Associate after my second year and played a pivotal role in the due diligence of new investments and portfolio company management through add-on acquisition due diligence and general strategy support. In addition to my investment experience, I contributed significantly to recruiting efforts, including partnering with third-party organizations like SEO to advance diversity in the industry and directly interviewing / screening investment banking analysts.

I’m a life-longer learner and giver (through my experiences and my network). Happy to help those that are interested and navigating the path within Investment Banking or Private Equity. Friendly, approachable and always reachable/responsive!

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.

With years of experience at top-tier firms like Blackstone and KKR, I’m here to help you navigate the competitive world of private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds. I’ve worked across the entire investment process—sourcing deals, conducting due diligence, managing portfolio companies, prepping and leading board meetings, and raising capital from LPs—so I understand the skills and nuances required to land and succeed in these coveted roles. Together, we’ll develop a personalized strategy to help you achieve your buy-side career goals. Ready to take the next step? Reach out, and let’s get started!

I’m a former Private Equity Associate at Rockpoint, where I evaluated and executed investments across multifamily, industrial, office, and hospitality assets. My work focused on underwriting, financial modeling, due diligence, and investment committee materials, so I understand how investors think and what sets strong candidates apart. I’ve sat on both sides of the table: building deals and helping recruit from one of the most competitive talent pools in finance. Today, I coach candidates through every step of the PE recruiting process, from technicals and case studies to networking and story positioning. My style is direct, structured, and highly tactical. We focus on mastering the skills and confidence you need to walk into interviews prepared, not guessing, and ultimately earn offers at top funds.
