MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

MIT. INSEAD. Columbia. LBS. I'll be honest, a few years ago, I wasn't sure I had a shot at any of them. Not a banker. Not a consultant. I started out with internships in marketing, sales, and product during undergrad, then made a pivot into finance that most people told me wouldn't stick. I recently turned down a VC role to take a corporate finance position instead, because I'd rather make the unconventional call I believed in than take the one that looked better on paper. That patchwork: growing up in Lebanon, then studying/working in France, Singapore, the Middle East, and now Toronto isn't the background anyone would design on purpose. But it's the one I learned to own. And getting into 5+ programs taught me that a scattered story, told with intention, can be more compelling than a clean one told without it. I don't coach by handing you a formula. I work with you to figure out what's actually interesting about your path (even the parts that feel like liabilities) and build a strategy around that. If you've ever felt like your background doesn't fit the mold, that's usually exactly where I like to start.

I built a standout business school application by owning my story instead of trying to fit a template. I learned how to pair real leadership experiences with my core values to create a narrative that felt both authentic and compelling. That approach helped me earn admission to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Kellogg - including multiple merit scholarship offers. I now help applicants clarify what makes their journey unique and translate it into a focused, confident application story. You should work with me because I have lived both sides of the admissions process. I was rejected when I applied to deferred enrollment in college, and that experience pushed me to develop a smarter, more intentional strategy when I reapplied six years later. I know the sting of “no,” and I also know what it takes to turn that into a resounding “yes.” My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I made and present the strongest, most authentic version of your story to top programs.

I recently completed by MBA at Harvard Business School. I started my career in banking, and spent a few years prior to school at growth stage startups doing finance, strategy, and operations. During business school, I explored and worked with early stage startups, and now I work as an early stage health tech investor. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

The choice to pursue an MBA is a significant investment of time and resources, and it deserves a thoughtful approach. I'll partner with you on any and all parts of your process. I'm a Ross MBA (University of Michigan) with admissions committee experience at Ross. I've spent the last 15 years successfully coaching MBA applicants through the admissions process with my own firm (MBA Pathfinders) and with top-rated consulting firms (Stacy Blackman and mbaMission), and have helped clients earn admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Columbia, Haas, Stern, Darden, Tuck, Johnson, Darden, INSEAD, and many others. I've collaborated with a range of candidates, and have had great success with those from more traditional backgrounds seeking a way to stand out among a sea of qualified peers, as well as those from non-traditional backgrounds who need guidance articulating how their talents and aspirations will fit into an MBA class. If you're looking for a seasoned, professional coach who's seen it all and can help guide you through the whole process, let's work together!

MBA from Chicago Booth. I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and operations — leading GTM strategy at Yext, driving Rokt's $325M Series E to a ~$2B valuation, and running cross-functional strategy and ops as Chief of Staff at Flex. Currently heading up GTM Operations at TLDR Media, where I own revenue operations, pricing strategy, and commercial systems end-to-end. On the coaching side, I've placed candidates into Chicago Booth (5+, including two with scholarships), Harvard Business School, and Stanford GSB — and successfully guided one applicant from a Booth rejection to a Berkeley Haas acceptance. I spent 5 years on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, which gives me a direct lens into how top programs evaluate candidates. I was also co-chair of the Booth Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club and a TA for Commercializing Innovation and Lab to Launch. If you're targeting M7 or top MBA programs and want honest, specific guidance on positioning, essays, and fit — I've been on both sides of the table.

As a triple admit to top MBA, JD, and Public Policy programs, I bring a wealth of experience surrounding joint degree program admissions including identifying best-fit programs for career growth, crafting a compelling narrative to fit your target institution, and ensuring GMAT and LSAT scores meet institutional requirements. Prior to graduate school, I spent 3 years at the Boston Consulting Group, and have supported multiple consultants in their application efforts to both MBA programs and JD programs. I also have a diverse set of experiences in the non-profit and advocacy space, with experience supporting 'non-traditional' candidate applications. Reach out and we'll work together to get you to a program you are excited about!

Admitted to top 4 MBA programs (Stanford, HBS, Wharton and UChicago). I can help you craft an interesting story; you're much more worth than your GMAT score!
