ABOUT ME
I have been an interviewer of 500+ interviews in my career for Associate, Consultant, Project Manager, Senior Manager/Principal roles as well as senior corporate strategy, corporate/business development and VP roles. In addition, I was giving final round interviews, gave out offers and was the interview captain/manager at recruiting days in my role as Associate Partner in my c. 10 years at Bain and in senior management of Fintechs.
I have conducted interviews for offices in 8 countries (DACH, Dubai, Saudi, Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan) and know the specifics as well as case focus.
I have coached more than 100 people over the past 12 years with highest success rates in top tier consulting or strategy roles. I got the feedback that people feel the individual approach as well as a steep learning curve when working with me.
MY APPROACH
I have learned one thing about being successful in Top tier consulting and strategy roles that I teach the people that I coach: a) Understanding your strengths and weaknesses b) Getting the fundamentals right c) Developing a routine and feeling comfortable in cracking business problems.
The key for a successful interview prep is the right focus and a clear structure to prepare. It is important for me to make the most out of each training session, so you will always have some elements of cases cracking in there - become a case master!
My coaching is exactly build in this way to save time and money for you:
Beforehand: Send me the following:
-
your CV

an overview of your prep work and feedback (if available) so far
-
A self assessment of your strengths and weaknesses
-

-
Quick assessment case with debrief for me to understand your style as well as main areas of focus (structure, leadership, quants, social skills, etc.)
-
Training plan as well as tipps and tricks for self study to prepare for the next session
-
Very clear and actionable advice on how to tackle the focus areas
2. Session
- 1. Minimum of two cases (different industries) - this is where you need to excel
- 2. Actionable feedback and tailored aproach to tackle your weak spots
- 3. Review coachig plan
3. Session and onwards:

According to plan, but it will always be cases and/or tailored exercise
-
If an interview is upcoming - special training on CV/”give-and-get” training to have a great start into an interview and learnings on how to build a good relationship with the interviewer
MY EXPECTATION
I hope to get everyone ready at latest the 3rd session. It is about focus and tailoring the coaching process, so the above is just an example of a structure. If you already have a clear plan and just want practice and last minute advice, this is also perfectly all right.
Let’s get there together and become a master case cracker!
