About Thor
Coaching Approach
Work Experience

Hello! I’m Thor Runarsson 👋 — a McKinsey Team Leader with over 8️⃣ years of experience across multiple geographies. I founded a start-up in Iceland prior to McKinsey, which is still in operation - so if you're interested in VC or Entrepreneurship, hit me up. I also have experience in Data Science, as a Radio Host/DJ, and as a professional singer.

🎯 Why Work With Me?

  • Elite Interviewer Insight: With 100+ real interviews conducted at McKinsey, I know what top firms truly look for.
  • Proven Coaching Results: I’ve prepared over 50 candidates — +90% landing offers from MBB.
  • Personalized & Human: I tailor every session to the person—your background, motivations, and learning style—and coach you with empathy and authenticity.
  • Senior Coaching Experience: Beyond interview prep, I’ve mentored new hires through McKinsey’s in-person week-long LEAD module to help them become strong consultants and communicators.

🧠 My Approach

  • I combine rigorous case training with soft‑skills development: storytelling, PEI, fit, communication.
  • I assess your current level and offer clear, actionable next steps.
  • Expect honest feedback in a supportive environment—you’ll know exactly what to improve and how to do it.

If you’d like resources or quick tips on the McKinsey interview process or general consulting prep, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to share.

📌 Coaching Approach 

My goal is to help you succeed and receive the job offer you desire. To do this, I will approach each coaching session with dedication to your personal needs, empathy, patience, and structure to maximize your readiness in all parts of the interview.

My coaching is rooted in deep understanding and clarity. Every first session includes a diagnostic to identify your style, strengths, and areas for improvement. From that, I develop a personalized plan covering:

  • Case techniques (market sizing, profitability, frameworks)
  • Behavioral & PEI prep
  • Story crafting & structured communication
  • Ongoing feedback loops and improvement tracking
