About Hesam

Coaching Approach

Experience

Hi there ? I'm a highly experienced MBB & McKinsey coach with 5+ years of experience coaching and interviewing candidates applying to consulting roles. I have also supported candidates applying to other firms such as LEK, Strategy &, Deloitte, Accenture, among others.

I was recognized by McKinsey as 'Talent Magnet' (top 10% of colleagues) because of my leadership in recruiting and interviewing (50+ candidates)

At McKinsey, I was an Engagement Manager in the Private Equity practice, serving 20+ clients with extensive experience across strategy, operations, and value creation. This gave me great insight into how MBB works and what it takes to succeed at interviews / client work.

I've helped candidates with different backgrounds successfully land offers at MBB/consulting firms, ranging from college grads, PhD/advanced degrees (fellow doctorate here!), and experienced professionals pivoting to consulting.

I am passionate about people development and coaching and put effort and love in what I do. I'm excited to help you achieve your goal and succeed in the interview process.

My style is giving direct and actionable feedback, focusing both on maintaining your strong points but also developing tactical plan for addressing the gaps (via a mixed of focused sessions vs broader full-interview mock up). Whether you have 1 or multiple sessions booked with me, we'll focus on high-impact areas that affect the course of your prep.

I can help you with different topics across the interview cycle:

* Case coaching (both interviewee / interviewer-led) - I tailor my approach to full-case or focused drills based on my assessment of your needs and your feedback

* Behavioral interviews (including McKinsey's PEI) - I help you refine your approach in iterations, coaching you on delivery, structure, details, and tone

* Mock interviews - Simulated full case interviews, the same way I delivered them at McKinsey, so you feel prepared on the big day, and there are no surprises

* General career coaching - I have extensive experience across practices, sectors, and functions (type of work) at McKinsey. I can help you strategize your path to consulting and beyond or help you figure out if this is the right path
