Hi, I'm Cristian! 

I’m a coach with extensive experience in the consulting space. 

I graduated from the University of Oxford and spent over 4 years at McKinsey, working across 8 countries and 9 industries, on engagements as diverse as gold mining in Papua New Guinea to pricing chemicals in Germany. 

During this time, I developed my consulting and coaching toolkit, being ranked in the top quartile of firm consultants for 5 consecutive evaluations. I also had the opportunity to act as faculty at McKinsey new joiner trainings and coach junior colleagues.    

Afterwards, I started pathtoconsulting and coached 400 clients across 50 geographies in >1400 sessions, across generalist and specialist tracks at varying levels of seniority.

Effectively, my coaching approach has three dimensions:

  1. Holistic approach - I focus not only on improving case mechanics, but also provide feedback on your delivery, presence, and give you suggestions on priming yourself for the interview. I will be your supporter throughout the process, encouraging you and challenging you as needed.
  2. Strength-focused - I provide feedback not only on the gap that you need to close, but on where you already exhibit strengths, and provide guidance on how to turn those into spikes and stand out.
  3. Diagnostic-run - I aspire to close each case session with a clear indication of what you need to improve and how (including a scorecard), emphasing the 1-2 focus points that will make the biggest difference and the drills you should practice.

You can find a selection of candidate success stories here.

And as a next step, feel free to book a session directly or reach out for an intro call. 

Looking forward to working together!

1. Diagnose the real bottleneck 

Using the scorecard (illustrative below), you will receive pragmatic feedback, verbal and written, from the first session (feedback can also be recorded at your request). I will estimate the pass probability, grade each question, and identify for you the 2-3 changes that will mark the biggest improvement in your performance.

2. Identify your 'spike' 

We will identify what you are inclined to do well compared to the average candidate. I will then recommend drills to polish it and turn this into a spike that will make you stand out. 

3. Tailored practice

For each of the improvement areas identified in the diagnostic, I will recommend specific drills to work on. These will be refined from session to session depending on your progress.

4. Turn PEI into a convincing narrative (clear story spine, evidence, punchlines)

In parallel, we will refine your value proposition and story. You will also have access to my personal fit training course, which includes a proprietary story structure, and recordings of stories that have passed interviews with top consulting firms.

Christian is an excellent coach! In addition to analyzing your strengths and weaknesses during case studies, he provides an honest perspective on the market and the hiring process. This is highly valuable and has a truly personal, human touch! Thank you, I’ll definitely be back!

Over the last five sessions I have seen not only improvement in my case interview skills, but also in my general communication skills that will benefit me in any work that I aspire to do. What made the biggest difference for me was realizing the value of having a coach who can identify things you don’t even notice yourself during prep. Those small tweaks and insights are what really separate good from great in case interviews.

Cristian has great insights into how the personal fit works and how best to structure your answers. This allows one to differentiate oneself from other candidates by not following the standard methods you see on the internet.
