I am a former McKinsey Engagement Manager based in Dubai, UAE. I worked on 20+ projects over 5 years and in 6 countries.

I was an official interviewer for McKinsey and gave 100+ interviews, as such my methods and cases are very close to those given at real McKinsey - or other consulting firms' interviews.

I have a passion for coaching that I continue to pursue out of McKinsey by helping candidates land their dream consulting jobs !

Interview Coaching

I found the session with Valerian really insightful. It helped me cut through the noise, understand where I need to improve, and focus my preparation on the areas that will make the biggest difference. His feedback was clear and practical, and I came away with a much better sense of how to approach my preparation going forward.

Interview Coaching

I had a great session with Valerian! Very kind and helpful. He gave me really comprehensive feedback and exposed me to realistic cases, which was exactly what I needed. He knows the McKinsey Middle East process really well, which helped set my expectations and gave me a much better idea of what to expect. Even though I still made mistakes, I left feeling much more confident and clear on what I need to improve. Highly recommend him, especially for anyone targeting McKinsey ME!
