My name is Franco Borgonovo, and I spent over 10 years at Boston Consulting Group, working across Europe, Asia, and North America

During my time at BCG, I served as a global lead recruiter, interviewing hundreds of candidates and touring major BCG offices worldwide to run interviews for all levels: undergraduates, MBAs, PhDs, and senior lateral hires

Today I serve as an official coach for the BCG "Consulting Foundation Training", a week-long global onboarding program for new hires, which keeps me fully aligned with BCG’s most up-to-date evaluation criteria.

Outside of my official BCG interviewing responsibilities, I have personally coached hundreds of MBB candidates, with most of them securing offers from McKinsey, BCG, or Bain. 

My coaching approach is structured, fast, and highly practical, focused on what top firms actually test: problem-solving clarity, communication under pressure, and business judgment. 

Whether you’re just getting started or preparing for final rounds, I can help you sharpen your casing skills, strengthen your fit stories, and walk into the interview with confidence. 

Feel free to reach out if you want more information or proof of my professional background. I’m here to help you get your MBB offer.

My coaching approach is structured, direct, and performance-driven. Every session is tailored to your level and timeline, with a clear roadmap toward interview readiness. We focus on what top firms actually evaluate: problem-solving clarity, executive communication, and business judgment under pressure. You receive candid feedback, precise correction, and concrete next steps after every session. The objective is not more practice, but measurable improvement and consistent, offer-level performance.

Interview Coaching
Great coach. Franco helped me clearly understand what I was already doing well, while also identifying specific areas for improvement. More importantly, he explained why those areas mattered and gave me practical guidance on how to improve them. He also went beyond the case itself and took the time to share helpful insights about BCG and recommendations on which offices could be a good fit for my profile. Overall, a very insightful and valuable coaching session. Highly recommended!

Interview Coaching
Franco was an excellent coach! He provided clear, practical, and actionable feedback throughout the session, and he was very generous with both his time, knowledge and experience. He was really nice and patiently answered all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. His advice was insightful, honest, and tailored to my specific needs. I left the session with much greater confidence of understanding where I stand now, clarity on gaps, and next steps to improve my case interview performance. I would highly recommend Franco if you are looking for honest feedback, a clear assessment on where you are, and a tailored action plans to drive improvement!
