Booth MBA with a background in marketing at NielsenIQ and Amazon, where I focused on product positioning and consumer behavior. I apply that same lens to MBA applications: clarity, coherence, and a story that holds up under scrutiny. I have worked closely with peers on essays, resumes, and interviews, helping them surface what is genuinely distinctive and align it across every touchpoint. My approach is structured, direct, and collaborative, so you leave not only with a stronger application, but with a narrative you can confidently own in the interview room.

As a tech founder and writer, I help ambitious candidates stand out in elite admissions by telling their story with clarity, conviction, and craft. I was one of roughly 30 students admitted to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School in my year, earning three prestigious fellowships along the way and later being recognized as a World Economic Forum Global Shaper. I understand how competitive admissions committees think — and what separates memorable applicants from merely impressive ones. What sets me apart is that I don’t believe an MBA is right for everyone — and I bring that discernment into my coaching. Before we optimize your application, we start with a candid conversation about whether this degree truly aligns with your goals, timing, and trajectory. If the answer is yes, I help you articulate who you are and present your story with clarity, confidence, and depth. I’ve been working with high-achieving students on career and personal development since my time at Harvard, and I bring that same rigor and care to every applicant I coach.

I'm a first-generation college student and former U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot who had no roadmap to business school. After navigating the process largely from scratch, I was accepted to MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Haas, Fuqua, Darden, and Tuck, and ultimately chose Sloan. That experience of figuring it out without a built-in network is exactly what drives my coaching: I know what it's like to feel lost and I know how to help you find clarity. Since then, I've helped 20+ candidates earn acceptances at programs including HBS, Stanford GSB, Booth, Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, and others across the top 25. I specialize in helping applicants craft a compelling narrative, especially career changers, veterans, and anyone who feels like their story doesn't fit a traditional mold. If you're not sure where to start or how to stand out, that's exactly where I do my best work.

My insider knowledge as a current interviewer allows me to provide unparalleled guidance on application strategy and interview preparation.

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business and extensive leadership experience, I am passionate about helping aspiring, non-traditional MBA candidates achieve their dreams. I applied to business school as a nurse and mom of four kids, and I was older than the average candidate. I didn't use a coach and was still accepted into a T15 program. I understand the difficulties and complexities that come with life, especially as a working woman/mother, and I'd love to help you find your confidence and put your best foot forward. If this is you, don't count yourself out -- there is a ton of value that you would bring to a business school class. My background includes co-chairing Duke’s flagship MBA leadership event and engaging in various leadership roles, which have equipped me with a deep understanding of what top business schools seek in applicants. I have a proven track record of mentoring individuals through complex processes, from innovation management at Veterans Affairs to global health initiatives.

As a Stanford MBA (Class of 2013) with a track record of building successful businesses across three continents, I bring a unique blend of admissions insight and real-world experience to MBA coaching. After earning my MBA, I've spent over a decade as a management consultant at Bain & Company, repeat entrepreneur (co-founding two start-ups, including a Nigerian health-tech startup that scaled to $3M ARR and an educational NGO), and strategic leader at high-growth companies. The MBA experience was transformative for me, and I'm passionate about helping others who are seeking to have a positive impact in the world to unlock their full potential. Having successfully guided 5 aspiring MBAs into top-tier programs, I understand what admissions committees are looking for and how to craft compelling narratives that showcase your potential. My coaching approach combines a deep dive into your unique background, an exploration of the schools that would be the best fit for you, and a tailored collaboration to develop the strongest possible application. I have a particular depth of experience working with applicants from West and East Africa, as well as folks from non-traditional professional backgrounds.

As an MBA alum and former HEC Paris recruiter, I help ambitious professionals secure admission to Europe’s top programs, including LBS, HEC Paris, Oxford, and IESE.

Overall, I am very pleased with Annika who is very professional, candid, and organized. THANK YOU for all the coaching provided. I highly recommend Annika for anyone considering applying to an MBA program." My MBA journey led to two “triple jumps” and a transition into MBB consulting. I know what it takes to leverage an MBA for a career pivot, global move, or consulting entry, and I’ll help you do the same. Beyond MBA admissions, I’m also an ICF-certified coach specializing in career pivots, strategy, and consulting pathways. 👉 Ready to get into your dream school? Let’s connect.
