My goal is to unlock your full potential and help you land a position in Investment Banking, Private Equity, or Management Consulting.

I am a seasoned industry professional with work experience in the USA and Germany (5 years in IB/PE, 5 years in Consulting) with a high degree of technical expertise (strategy, corporate finance, accounting, valuation), commercial judgment, and - most importantly - a deep sense of empathy (having conducted triple-digit number of interviews to date).

I am a very patient yet demanding and challenging coach, aiming at transforming you into the best possible version of yourself

I offer a truly customized approach - tailored to your needs and time commitments:

  • End-to-end Private Equity preparation (e.g. accounting, corporate finance, LBOs, fit/personality questions, case studies)
  • End-to-end Investment Banking preparation (e.g. accounting, corporate finance, modeling, fit/personality questions)
  • End-to-end Management Consulting preparation (case opening, structure / framework, hypothesis formulation, analysis, recommendation, fit questions)
  • CV reviews
  • Career and MBA coaching

Interview Coaching
Denis ist ein genialer Coach. Man merkt sofort seine Erfahrung und Professionalität. Er hat meinen CV mit mir über mehrere Iterationen hinweg optimiert und dabei jedes Mal konstruktives, ehrliches und extrem hilfreiches Feedback gegeben. Gleichzeitig ist er super nett und nimmt sich wirklich Zeit. Ich bin mehr als zufrieden und freue mich auf die weitere Zusammenarbeit bei der Interviewvorbereitung.

Interview Coaching
Denis was incredibly helpful, and he happily committed a lot more time than scheduled to make sure that relevant feedback points all came across clearly, going above and beyond what one could reasonably expect. To everyone considering scheduling a session with Denis: I can only give him my warmest recommendations!
