My background
Experience of the work.
Experience of the hiring decision.
My preparation brings together consulting, recruiting and coaching experience.
Official BCG coach
I still work with BCG as an official coach for new hires at BCG, BCG X and BCG Platinion, in Europe, the Middle East and South America. I see every year what the firm expects from the people it hires. Very few interview coaches can offer that view.
Interviews on every continent
As global lead recruiter I conducted 1,500+ interviews, 800+ of them for MBB, on every continent. Candidates of every background: undergraduates, MBAs, experienced professionals and executives. I have also screened thousands of CVs.
INSEAD MBA with distinction
I went through MBA recruiting myself, so I know the pace and the pressure of preparing for consulting interviews alongside a demanding programme.
100+ MBB offers
Candidates I coached have received more than 100 MBB offers, with a success rate of about 90%1. I coach in English and Italian.
Business experience beyond consulting
I have founded businesses in restaurants, education technology and e-commerce, bringing practical business experience to our discussions.
