About Me

I’m a former McKinsey consultant and UC Berkeley Haas MBA, with 3+ years of experience delivering strategy, operational, and digital transformation projects across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Today, as VP of Career at the Haas Consulting Club, I help students prepare for consulting recruiting through mock interviews, recruiting strategy, career events, and direct coaching. Candidates I have supported have secured offers from leading consulting firms.

How I Can Help You

I work with candidates preparing for MBB and other top consulting firms, especially MBA students, international candidates, career switchers, and applicants from non-traditional backgrounds.

I can help you with:

  • Case interviews — structuring, hypothesis-driven thinking, quantitative analysis, synthesis, and communication
  • Fit / behavioral interviews — building clear, memorable stories and communicating them naturally
  • Recruiting strategy — positioning your background, networking, resume strategy, and preparing for the overall recruiting process

My Coaching Style

My approach combines hands-on practice with a deeper understanding of how interviewers evaluate your thinking and communication.

I won’t simply teach you frameworks to memorize. We will identify how you think, where your interview performance breaks down, and build a repeatable approach that you can use across unfamiliar cases.

My background in social science and teaching also shapes the way I coach. I hold a PhD in social science and, before McKinsey, taught at the Higher School of Economics, where I received a Best Teacher Award for teaching and supervising student research.

What a Session Looks Like

For a typical case session, we will run a realistic mock interview, followed by detailed feedback on your structure, analytics, business judgment, and communication. We will then focus on the 1–2 areas that would make the biggest difference to your performance and practice them directly.

For fit or recruiting sessions, we will work through your individual background and develop a strategy tailored to the firms, offices, and roles you are targeting.

My goal is not just to help you solve the next case — it is to make you a stronger, more confident candidate.

Interview Coaching
Super insightful and productive coaching! Boris figured out which question types I needed to work on and what feedback I keep getting, then picked a case that covered all of it: heavy math, exhibit analysis, and a very conceptual opening problem. At the end he gave me deep feedback I hadn't gotten from other candidates. Totally worth the $200. Thank you!
