Who I am

I’m a Manager at Kearney and a member of the Kearney Dubai recruiting team, where I sit on the interviewer side of the table and see exactly what gets a candidate through and what quietly ends their process. My cases come from real projects, not from a casebook. I hold an MBA from Kellogg.

Who I coach

Over the past six years I have coached 200+ candidates into McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Kearney and Strategy&. Most of them were not the obvious candidate. They came from a Tier 2 firm trying to move up, from industry with no case experience at all, or from an MBA cohort competing against classmates who had already done consulting internships.

What you get

Every session is scored against the same five criteria the firms use: structure, quantitative reasoning, business judgement, communication and fit. You leave with a written scorecard within 24 hours, the two or three things that will move your result most, and a drill plan for the week, so improvement between sessions is measurable rather than a feeling.

Where and when

I’m based in Dubai and run sessions across Europe, Gulf and Asia hours. If you’re in London, Riyadh, Singapore or Mumbai and every coach you find is asleep when you’re free, that is the problem I solve.

Diagnose first, then drill
Session one is a full case plus one fit question, scored on the five criteria the firms use: structure, quantitative reasoning, business judgement, communication and fit. You leave with a written scorecard within 24 hours, the two or three things that will move your result most, and a drill plan for the week.

Every session has a target
Sessions two onward attack one or two gaps at a time, with a before-and-after score. No “another practice case” for its own sake. Format matches your firm: interviewer-led for McKinsey, candidate-led for BCG and Bain.

What you get beyond the hour
Cases built from real projects in energy, infrastructure and M&A, not from a casebook. Feedback from someone who interviews candidates for Kearney Dubai, so you’re scored the way the firm scores you. Message access between sessions, with any structure or fit story reviewed within a day. And an honest call on when you’re ready and don’t need another session.
