Hi, I’m Derrick – a former McKinsey consultant with an engineering background and a proven track record of helping candidates land offers at top consulting firms.

I work with students and early-career consultants on:

• Case interview prep – sharpening your approach to structuring, brainstorming, and market sizing for consulting recruitment
• Fit interview coaching – crafting compelling personal stories and helping you highlight what makes you stand out
• Consulting career navigation – sharing practical insights on how the consulting world works and guiding you to succeed while avoiding common early pitfalls

Why work with me?

Engineer turned consultant
Coming from an engineering background, I understand the challenges STEM candidates face in case interviews. I’ll help you reframe your technical experience into a strength, avoid common traps (like overly rigid thinking or missing the "so what"), and communicate with the clarity and synthesis expected by top firms

Insider insights from both sides of the table
At McKinsey, I served as an interviewer and assessed a wide range of candidates. As a consulting peer leader at London Business School, I coached 50+ peers from diverse backgrounds to land offers at leading consulting firms, such as McKinsey, BCG and Strategy&

Tailored, high-impact coaching
No cookie-cutter frameworks or generic advice. I’ll quickly diagnose your gaps, share targeted drills, and teach you how to think from first principles. Each session is personalized to accelerate your progress, build confidence, and prepare you to perform at your best on interview day
