MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I know what it takes to stand out in the most competitive rooms in the world because I’ve built my career in them. I’m a Harvard MBA and Harvard College graduate, venture capital investor, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. I’ve evaluated hundreds of founders and companies, sat in investment committees, and seen firsthand how decision-makers assess potential, leadership, and polish. As a current HBS student, I also understand the admissions process from the inside and what truly differentiates candidates. I help ambitious, high-agency applicants turn strong resumes into compelling, cohesive narratives. Many candidates undersell themselves or tell stories that are impressive but forgettable. I work with you to clarify your “why,” sharpen your positioning, and articulate a trajectory that feels bold, authentic, and inevitable. As a founder and investor, I approach your application through the lens of differentiation and strategy. What is your unfair advantage? What impact are you uniquely positioned to have? Together, we craft an application that commands attention. If you’re aiming for top programs and want a coach who understands elite institutions and high-performance environments, I would love to work with you.

AI CANNOT do for your MBA application what WE WILL DO TOGETHER. We will do a deep dive into the foundations of your life and career goals, distinguishing you and raising you above the thousands of applicants you compete against. With an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management and a JD from Stanford Law School, I bring a wealth of experience in leadership and strategic growth across various industries. As a former CEO and executive leader, I've successfully guided companies through significant transformations, including revenue growth and strategic divestments. My deep understanding of business strategy and operations allows me to provide insightful guidance to MBA applicants. Having coached over 20 individuals, I am passionate about helping you craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together to unlock your potential and secure your spot at a top business school!

As a first-generation college graduate from the South Side of Chicago, I know what it means to navigate the MBA journey without a roadmap. I learned how to manage the entire process, including school research, GMAT/GRE prep, essays, interviews, and funding, by being resourceful, intentional, and strategic. That same scrappiness helped me earn admission to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a scholarship. After being admitted, I completed the MLT MBA Prep Accelerated Program, which helped me secure a consulting internship before classes even started. I went into Booth already positioned for success because I understood how powerful it is to prepare early. Over the years, I’ve supported aspiring candidates and consultants through case studies, storytelling, and interview preparation. When you work with me, you can expect support in developing authentic and mission-driven storytelling that reflects your full self. You can expect strategic guidance grounded in lived experience from someone who has navigated this journey with limited resources and still earned admission to a top MBA program. You can also expect clear and actionable feedback that cuts through the noise and helps you strengthen your application. Most importantly, you will have a coach who genuinely believes in your potential and is committed to your success. Pursuing an MBA was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. It expanded my vision of what is possible, reshaped my leadership, and opened doors I never imagined. I want to help you experience that same transformation, no matter where you are starting from.

I help candidates navigate the MBA journey end to end because I have personally gone through every stage of it and understand how tightly admissions decisions and post-MBA outcomes are linked. From GMAT strategy and school selection to regional trade-offs, cost-benefit analysis, scholarships, networking, interviews and final admit decisions, I have built and executed this process myself across US, European, and Indian business schools. I did not treat the MBA as a checkbox. I approached it as a strategic investment and designed my application and career plan accordingly. Since 2021, I have coached 18 candidates who have gone on to top-20 business schools. I work with clients to define their long-term career direction, shape a credible narrative and position them as candidates who know why they are pursuing an MBA and what they plan to do with it. This includes supporting professionals looking to change sector, function and region - A transition I successfully made myself during my MBA. Beyond admissions, I help clients prepare for post-MBA recruiting in consulting, leadership programs and big tech by aligning their MBA choices with realistic career outcomes. My goal is not just to help you get in, but to ensure the MBA works for you long after acceptance!

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 can't wait to meet you and learn more about how we can turn your dreams into achievable goals, together.

I've successfully navigated admissions to multiple MBA and MPA programs, and have weighed virtually every combination of joint degree and fellowship program out there.

Beyond my own experience, I've spent six years serving on scholarship and admissions selection committees. I've seen how reviewers read applications, what makes essays memorable, and how candidates can avoid common obstacles in the process. I've coached +20 students through every stage of the process—from preparing for standardized tests and identifying the right programs, to crafting compelling narratives and preparing for interviews that feel authentic. Beyond working in investment policy, I love exploring running routes through my new hometown of San Francisco, dabbling on the piano, playing tennis at the park up the street, and hosting dinner parties with my wife.
