Answer 1

Hi Alfredo,

We've already chatted but you have yet to schedule an intro call. Just a reminder that that's always an option!

Local experience:

Personalmente, cuando estaba haciendo mi MBA en Stern, yo era el VP de eventos por LABA (Latín American Business Association). Naturalmente, entiendo bien los procesos, industrias, etc. En particular, Bain Mexico me invitaron a unos eventos invitados.

Tengo muchos amigos de Mexico, Colombia, etc. Y viví por un momento en Suramérica. Además, mi cuñado es Chilango y fui varios veces a México.

Local connections:

Tengo amigos en Bain México, BCG México, Y McKinsey México. Sin embargo, no es el trabajo de un case coach de darte referencias. Eso es “ilegal” e inmoral. A pesar de esto, puedo mostrarte como obtener referencias. Ofrezco referencies a unos candidatos especial pero eso e mi decisión y es reservado por ellos quienes son excepcionales – no te lo prometo antes de conocerte.

Success stories:

Como ya te di, he tenido éxito con varios candidatos en México y todo Suramérica (Panamá, Brasil, etc.) por MBB.

Answer 2

Hi Alfredo,

I've had both successful candidates with McKinsey in Mexico AND I'm currently coaching candidates in Mexico (that I could put you in touch as practice buddies in case we'd work together).

It would make most sense to understand what is specifically important for you over a short intro call. Otherwise, whatever I'm going to write here is going to sound like a sales pitch.

Good for you that you're doing your due diligence!
Best,
Cristian
