Hi, I’m Annika Friesen, an ICF-certified coach, entrepreneur, and former Bain consultant.

I bring a unique perspective as both a post-MBA and industry hire. I began my career at KPMG in audit, gained industry experience, and later joined Bain in an MBA hiring batch after working in education one year post MBA. This means I understand the challenges of both entry paths and can help you navigate whichever journey you’re on.

Throughout my career, whether advising clients at Bain or coaching candidates and executives, I’ve been passionate about helping people make bold moves and transform their lives. My mission is to combine insider consulting insights with professional coaching to help you land offers and step confidently into your next chapter.

My coaching is holistic and tailored, covering case, fit, and the small nuances that most coaches miss. Together we’ll build on your strengths, close gaps, and prepare you to stand out with confidence and clarity.

Interview Coaching
I had a fantastic first session with Annika that was very informative and collaborative. She was incredibly encouraging, providing actionable and honest feedback that immediately helped me understand what to improve in my CV. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey with her towards getting my offer. In short, I'd highly recommend working with her!
