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
Great session with Annika! On top of case feedback, what I found very valuable was that she also helped me think about how to structure my preparation overall by suggesting a clear study plan and what areas I should focus on between sessions. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a coach who is invested in helping you improve.

Interview Coaching
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor on PrepLounge. From the very beginning, she stood out not just for their deep understanding of case interviews, but for how clearly and patiently she explained everything. What I appreciated most was how tailored each session felt. She quickly identified my weaknesses (whether it was structuring, math, or communication) and gave very practical, actionable feedback that I could immediately apply. Every session felt focused and high-impact. Beyond the technical side, Annika also helped me build confidence and think like a consultant — not just “solve the case,” but communicate insights in a sharp and structured way.
