I was a final round interviewer at McKinsey London for two years (and 5 years a first round interviewer) where I spent long hours in Decision Meetings making the final selection on whether to extend an offer to a candidate or not. During my time at McKinsey, in total, I conducted more than 200 interviews ranging from BA/summer BA, MBA/advanced professional degree and experienced hire candidates.

There are many ways to successfully nail a case. Interviewers are looking for personality (someone whom they would want on their own project) and creativity behind how to structure, compute and communicate your findings. Beyond the case, interviewers are looking for compelling stories that are translatable to challenges that you will face and need to resolve as a consultant - details matter! 

My focus will be to help you become the best version of yourself (it also makes it much more fun for the interviewer who often times has been using the same case all day, week or even year!).  

As an experienced interviewer and case coach, I will give you detailed feedback on how to improve to make sure you are able to crack ANY case and tell powerful personal experience stories that will impress ANY interviewer.

Interview Coaching
As someone relatively new to case interview preparation, I felt confused with a lot of questions, but Ken very patiently answered ALL of them in the session we had, even though that means we went beyond our initially scheduled time. I felt much more confident about walking into my interview after we talked, and thanks to him, I was able to receive an offer from my dream company!

Interview Coaching
As a coach, Ken is extremely kind and generous with his time. In the sessions we had, he always went beyond the scheduled time slot to make sure all my questions get answered. I could tell that he truly cares about the development of his mentee, and I'm really grateful to have met him here. Thanks to his help, I was able to sign an offer with McKinsey even though I thought I didn't have much chance due to limited preparation time.

Interview Coaching
Ken's feedback are always exactly to-the-point and guided me throughout the McKinsey interview preparation. I initially struggled with finding the right episodes for PEI, but the insight Ken offered helped me feel a lot clearer about what the interviewers are really looking for in each dimension. I was able to receive an offer from my McKinsey, and this would never be possible without Ken's generous help.
