Hey there!  If you want to get into consulting, I was definitely in your shoes. 

I made lots of mistakes, but with a lot of work and luck on my side, I joined McKinsey and stayed for about 5 years. 

What I learned there transformed me. I want to pay that forward and help train others. 

So, over the last few years, I’ve coached 400 people like you and me to get roles in consulting, especially at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.

Like with them, my ambition is to turn your investment in coaching into a life-changing experience. 

I aim to become your friend and mentor. And to teach you everything that I know. 

If you decide to go on this journey together:

# you’ll have a 88% chance of getting an offer - I know it because I track it

# you’ll learn how to be successful in the interview AND on the job 

# you’ll have a mentor for life

AND might hear some wild consulting stories like how I got stuck on a 4-month project on a remote gold mining island in Papua New Guinea.

Drop me a message and let’s start! 

In my approach, I do 3 things differently:

  1. I coach first principles thinking. Because consulting interviewers want to see how you think, not hear memorised frameworks.

  2. I overemphasise personal fit prep. Because most candidates ignore it and that gives my candidates an edge. 

  3. I identify and train for spikes. Because top consulting firms don’t want you to be ok at everything, but great at something.  

After every session, I provide a granular 1-page scorecard quantifying your probability of passing the interview, along with clear feedback and drills to improve.

What’s different vs typical coaching:

  • You don’t just get verbal feedback — you get a written scorecard + drill plan after each session.
  • You get a quantified assessment, which you can track from session to session to monitor progress
  • Sessions are run like deliberate practice: focused reps, immediate correction, clear homework.
