Hi, I'm Javier. I spent 3.8 years at McKinsey in Madrid working across the Private Equity and Banking practices, where I became one of the most active interviewers in the office (40+ interviews). Before McKinsey, I worked in Global Markets at Credit Suisse and UBS, covering institutional clients and family offices. I hold an MBA from IESE and a Law degree from ICADE. I know what strong problem-solving and communication looks like in a high-pressure interview — because I've evaluated it many times.

About Javier
Coaching Approach
Work Experience
My approach is simple: I teach you a way of thinking, not a set of memorised frameworks. Every case is different, but the underlying logic of how to structure a problem, break it down, and drive toward an answer is always the same. I help you build that muscle. On the personal fit side, I focus on what interviewers are actually looking for — because I've been one.
