My name is Dr. Sidi S. Koné. I am a fulltime career coach and one of the world's most prolific experts for MBB-centered interview preparation. I am also the founder and CEO of two companies in this domain, with clients across all geographies.

I am an experienced former Strategy Consultant groomed at McKinsey and formerly BCG, who later served as Head of Corporate Strategy at a several billion dollars global Sports Media & Entertainment corporation.

As a Strategy Consultant for McKinsey and BCG, I have led large consulting teams and worked for top level clients in Germany and Europe as well as numerous countries across Africa and the Middle East for 7 years. 

I served as a member of the core recruiting teams in BOTH McKinsey and BCG. In this function, I have formally interviewed hundreds of applicants. Hence, I am using the REAL evaluation criteria and scoring methods that McKinsey and BCG base their decisions on and that you will be evaluated against when interviewing with these firms! Knowing both firms deeply from the inside, I can give you unique insights into the nuances that will make a difference for McKinsey or BCG respectively!

Coaching from MBB Structuring Mastery
Sidi was patient, kind, engaging, and unbelievably informative. My first session has made me feel like I can actually crack a case for an MBB firm. I am very excited to continue to work with him.

Coaching from MBB Structuring Mastery
I strongly recommend Sidi, who is an outstanding case coach! With Sidi's support, I can guarantee that you will reach a whole new level in terms of your case solving skillset. I chose the MBB Structure Mastery by Sidi to prepare for my upcoming consulting interviews. I can assure anyone considering that this course was tremendously helpful to me. With Sidi's help, I was able to secure a 100% offer rate out of my two interviews with Tier-2 companies. Sidi also offered valuable advice on my pathway to break into MBB firms further along in my career. Each coaching session was well prepared with interesting cases, helpful material to study with, and individual feedback targeting key aspects of my case-solving skillset. Together we shifted my approach from framework-based thinking to a deep understanding of how to approach strategic business problems in a structured and logical way. Once you understand the reasoning of this approach, each structure you create for a specific case problem will outline a clear step by step guide on how YOU will solve the case. From personal experience and feedback received after my interviews, that's what firms were most impressed with during my interviews. Besides, once you understand how to think like a strategy consultant it will boost your confidence in any interview situation. To sum it up: If you want to break into a top-consulting company and beat the odds, go with Sidi. It will pay back!

Interview Coaching
Sidi is a phenomenal case coach. He completely transformed my approach to cases by explaining how to apply basic logic when solving business problems. This definitely raised my confidence as I solved cases in real and mock interviews with firm employees. Additionally, Sidi did an excellent job explaining how to answer PEI questions appropriately. All in all, he gave me the right blueprint to use, because I ultimately received an offer from McKinsey! Do yourself a favor and book a session with Sidi!
