Welcome to my profile! I am Alexi, a former Consultant with Bain & Company in Dubai and currently pursuing my MBA at London Business School. During my consulting career, I gained experience across various industries, including performance transformation, post-merger strategy, fintech, and sustainability. I have conducted over 50 case interviews and mentored aspiring consultants through Bain's recruiting and coaching initiatives. My goal is to help candidates unlock their full potential and land offers at top consulting firms.
I believe in mastering both the thinking process and case-solving technique. I begin by focusing on the theory—understanding how to approach different types of problems. Once that foundation is set, I use a variety of examples and cases to consolidate the skills, helping candidates perfect their problem-solving abilities.
During my tenure at Bain & Company in Dubai (2021–2024), I gained extensive consulting experience across various industries, with a specialization in performance transformation, post-merger strategies, fintech, and sustainability infrastructure. These diverse projects required me to master strategic problem-solving, data-driven decision-making, and effective communication—key skills that I now leverage when coaching students to succeed in consulting recruitment.
As a Consultant in Bain’s Accelerated Performance Transformation practice, I led initiatives that involved developing client strategies, managing stakeholders, and delivering high-impact results. These experiences honed my ability to break down complex problems, a critical component of case interview success. Notably, I designed strategies that resulted in measurable business improvements, such as boosting retail margins by 12% and achieving 9% cost savings through procurement optimization.
In 2022, as an Associate Consultant, I worked on post-merger strategy execution and fintech solution design, where I developed and presented actionable recommendations to C-suite executives. I also led workstreams on a national sustainable infrastructure project, coordinating with both government agencies and industry experts. These roles refined my ability to synthesize data, craft compelling narratives, and deliver structured insights—skills I now pass on to candidates through resume reviews, case coaching, and interview preparation.
These experiences provided me with a strong foundation to coach students aspiring to enter consulting. By helping them understand the consulting mindset, structure their problem-solving approach, and present their experiences effectively, I guide them toward standing out to recruiters and excelling in interviews.
