I worked at McKinsey & Company, and you too, will reach your consulting goals. Together we will follow a tailored approach specifically adapted to your skills and objectives. I am very passionate in helping candidates find their calling in management consulting, which is an incredibly fulfilling career choice.
Existing clients can still get the same price.
Most importantly, I also focus on ensuring you secure a place that you will feel happy working at. I offer career coaching, fit interview and case interview coaching, as well as career planning and sessions tailored to specific questions that you might have.
In my coaching we can cover:
- Management consulting coaching on specific topics you want to focus on
- Application and career coaching
- Interview practice (cases, fit interviews, expertise-testing interviews)
- Case prep material
- How to create the job you love in consulting at a firm that you like
- Career coaching for experienced hires in consulting
- Coaching for returning to work after leave (sabbatical, parental, etc.)
- Coaching for scientists and academics considering consulting
I also joined McKinsey both right after university and later again as an experienced hire and am familiar with the differences in career choices based on level of prior experience.
My past experience includes:
- 5 years with McKinsey & Company, last as engagement manager
- 2 years with Northgate Capital, a private equity investment management firm
- 2 years with Chatham Financial in derivatives trading
- Mensa membership
- MBA from the University of Cambridge
- BSc in Geosciences and Astrophysics
- Mentoring candidates who wish to secure job offers at management consulting firms
- Internships at the European Parliament and the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics
Testimonials from candidates include:
