Hi there! My name is George Lankas, Stanford GSB class of 2027. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptances to 3 top MBA programs (GSB, Wharton, and Tuck). I ran a tutoring company as a student at Georgetown University, where I helped classmates ace Econ classes and get past writer’s block on essay. I also offer career coaching – after transitioning from an IB oriented role to client facing Private Banking, I know how tricky the pivot can be! I’m passionate about helping people get into their dream MBA program or get their dream job – I want to be a partner and asset throughout your process to ensure you can make your goals become a reality.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.

My clients have gotten into top business schools such as Harvard (HBS), Berkeley (Haas), and MIT (Sloan). I am a Stanford GSB graduate and was accepted to every business school I applied to. I'm a former engineer turned PM; so I understand the non-traditional applicant's path.

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

As someone who was admitted to Booth, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, and NYU, I know firsthand how to craft a compelling MBA application that stands out. I’ve helped multiple applicants clarify their story, strengthen their essays, and position themselves for success—even when they thought they didn’t have the “perfect” background. I bring a mix of private equity and startup experience, a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for, and a no-fluff coaching style that gets results. Whether you're figuring out your career narrative or polishing your final drafts, I’ll meet you where you are and help you hit submit with confidence.

I coach prospective MBA applicants who are interested in media, entertainment, and how those industries intersect with the future of tech. Before business school, I worked in management consulting at PwC, and after earning my MBA from Harvard Business School, I successfully pivoted into a role at the intersection of media, entertainment, and technology at Meta. At HBS, I served as President of the Entertainment & Media Club and as VP of Admissions for the African American Student Union, and in both roles I coached students through the MBA decision process and application strategy. My approach is objective and practical, focused on “why MBA” clarity, career strategy, narrative development, and essay review, and I also help with test study strategy and prioritization as someone who took multiple approaches to reach the results I needed and understands that process deeply.

I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.
