Hi, I’m Karl — an MBA candidate at Kellogg with background in marketing and strategy. Before Kellogg, I spent 7 years in the marketing field, where I mastered the art of storytelling. I believe a great MBA coach doesn’t just tell you what to do — they help you uncover your unique strengths and position them effectively to admissions officers, like a brand manager. I specialize in helping candidates prepare for the behavior interviews: telling their story with clarity and confidence, with MBA admissions interviewer training and experience conducting 40+ mock interviews. As an international student who successfully navigated the challenges of networking and ultimately landed a US MBB offer, I understand firsthand the hurdles of trying to get an offer in the US. If you’re looking for guidance on your MBA journey — from interview prep to strategy and positioning — I’d be excited to help you succeed.

Welcome! European, without a consulting or finance background, never been in the US, no Ivy League undergrad… I once thought joining Stanford GSB would be impossible. But by being strategic, resourceful, and persistent, I made it happen ! And now I want others to pursue the same path and made their dream happen ! That is why I am on Leland ! For over 12 years, I built a career in telecom across France, Spain, South Korea and Poland, leading large teams and managing multi-hundred-million-dollar businesses. On paper, I didn’t fit the “classic” MBA mold. Yet through careful storytelling, clear positioning, and a deep understanding of what schools truly value, I turned what seemed like weaknesses into my greatest strengths. My journey showed me that admissions success is about owning your story, showing your potential, and finding the right strategy to shine. Along the way, I’ve coached dozens of applicants, especially international students, helping them break through their doubts and land at the GSB. I know how transformative the right mentorship can be, because I’ve lived it. Now, I’m here to pay it forward. If you’re ready to pursue your dream, I’d be glad to guide you step by step.
