About Franco

Work Experience

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
So far I had two sessions with Franco. I choose him because: - he has extensive experience as a coach, entrepreneur and consultant - he conducted both first and second round interviews What I like is that: - the sessions are flexible - feedback is practical - the cases we practice are challenging and interesting - you can always reach out by chat and he usually replies quickly and clearly - he listens well, is calm and explains extensively - he is easy to communicate with - feedback is slightly skewed towards what to improve (but he will also tell you what you're already doing well) What might be a nice addition: - clear (improvement) expectations for the next session(s) - sometimes the audio is a bit unclear so far I'm very satisfied and looking forward to the next session together! I'm looking forward to our follow up sessions!

Interview Coaching
Very useful session. Franco gave clear guidance on interview structures and key do’s and don’ts. His perspective as a former recruiter was especially valuable in understanding what interviewers expect. Highly recommended.

Interview Coaching
The first session was interesting. Lot’s of actionable and honest feedback. It was clear what I could improve on and what was already positive. Furthermore, Franco gave many practical tips about how to buy some time and take case leadership during the interview, for example.
