I am Frank, a former McKinsey consultant, private markets professional and interview coach.

I help candidates prepare for MBB and top-tier consulting interviews, with a focus on case interviews, personal fit / PEI, communication, structure and executive presence. I also support candidates targeting private equity, infrastructure, investment management and consulting-to-investing transitions.

My background combines McKinsey strategy consulting, senior roles in private markets and infrastructure investing / fundraising, and an INSEAD MBA. I have worked across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America and Asia, advising senior clients, investors and investment platforms on strategy, growth, capital raising and complex business narratives.

What makes my coaching distinctive is that I combine the classic McKinsey problem-solving toolkit with a very practical understanding of how high-performing professionals are assessed in real business and investment environments. I help candidates not only solve cases, but also communicate like consultants: structured, hypothesis-driven, concise and confident.

A typical session may include a live case interview, personal fit / PEI preparation, feedback on communication and structure, CV / profile positioning, or targeted preparation for a specific firm or interview round. My style is direct, rigorous and tailored: I identify the few changes that will most improve your performance and give you clear, actionable feedback after each session.

My coaching is direct, rigorous and confidence-building. I combine the McKinsey case-interview toolkit with senior private-markets experience to help candidates improve quickly: sharper structure, clearer hypotheses, stronger PEI / fit stories and more confident communication under real interview pressure.
