Work Experience

I’m Bram, an energy transition strategist and former McKinsey consultant (Amsterdam, London, Houston), focused on decarbonization, power and renewables, and the commercial realities of the energy transition.

I’ve worked on McKinsey’s Sustainability Insights team in Amsterdam and later led strategy at a battery technology scale-up, translating market and policy complexity into clear decisions on growth, product, partnerships, and go-to-market.

I went through the MBB recruiting process myself and received multiple offers (McKinsey, Strategy&). Since then, I’ve coached 100+ candidates (initially unpaid) and supported experienced hires in particular, with a clear view of what separates “good” from “offer.”

My coaching is practical and rigorous. We build the habits interviewers look for: structured problem solving, clean math, crisp synthesis, and hypothesis-driven thinking. As a bilingual US/Dutch citizen, I coach in English and Dutch and can tailor cases to both the European and US interview context.

Learn to think like a consultant, not memorize frameworks.

Many candidates struggle because they rely on generic scripts rather than developing genuine business judgment. As a former McKinsey consultant who worked across Amsterdam, London, and Houston offices—specializing in energy transition and decarbonization—I focus on helping you build the analytical thinking and confidence to navigate any case interview.

What makes my coaching approach different:

Fully Customized Case Preparation
Before each session, you complete an intake form covering your background, target firms, experience level, and specific development areas. I then create or adapt a case interview tailored specifically to address your gaps—whether that's market sizing, structuring complex problems, energy/sustainability cases, or personal experience interviews. No two sessions are identical, and you'll never receive a recycled case.

Structured Process with Clear Deliverables
Each 60 minute session follows a focused structure: brief alignment on learning goals, a customized case with real-time mini-feedback breaks (or one focused debrief at the end, based on your preference), and practical coaching on structuring and communication. Within 24 hours, you receive a detailed follow-up email with key learnings, proprietary frameworks relevant to your development, and specific next steps.

Direct, Actionable Feedback
I provide candid feedback that identifies your top strengths and the 2-3 most important areas to improve. This ensures you know exactly where to focus your energy rather than feeling overwhelmed by generic advice.

Bilingual Expertise & Global Experience
As a dual US/Dutch citizen raised bilingual, I offer coaching in both English and Dutch. Having worked in McKinsey's Amsterdam, London, and Houston offices, I understand the cultural nuances of European and US interviews and can help you navigate office-specific expectations.

Ongoing Support Throughout Your Preparation
I remain available for questions as your interview approaches, not just during scheduled sessions. This includes guidance on next steps, clarification on concepts, and support when unexpected situations arise.

My Background
I've conducted over 100 practice cases with candidates, initially unpaid, because I'm passionate about demystifying the consulting recruiting process. I've experienced both sides: going through MBB interviews myself (McKinsey, BCG, Strategy&, AT Kearney) and later coaching experienced hires at McKinsey through their applications. Many candidates I've worked with have successfully received McKinsey offers.

I specialize in coaching undergrads, MBAs, and experienced hires targeting McKinsey or other MBB firms, particularly those interested in energy transition and sustainability consulting or applying to European and US offices.

Value-Oriented Pricing
As I'm building my coaching practice on Preplounge, I offer McKinsey-quality preparation at accessible rates. You receive the same level of customization, detailed follow-up, and ongoing support that established coaches provide, but at a significantly lower price point. First session -50% discount.

Fantastic coach. Bram is professional, insightful, and gave actionable feedback. The tailored industry case was a big value-add, and the follow-up email with detailed improvement points was the cherry on top. Highly recommend.
