Marco was one of the most influential people during Big 3 recruiting, and the reason why I got into Bain's Building Entrepreneurship Leaders program this summer. He not only had a lot of experience and knowledge about casing, but he was also a really good coach/mentor. On the technical side, he taught me casing tips like how to build a MECE framework, how to move the case forward, and great constructive, customized feedback. If I ever have a case interview coming up, Marco is one of the first people I will ask to help me case.

Marco was able to case me and teach me completely about consulting in a very short matter of time. For context, I was recruiting for investment banking, but had a Big 3 consulting opportunity come across my desk wherein I was able to get to the final round. In a mere matter of days, Marco was able to break down everything I needed to know about consulting in a digestible and effective manner. A question which was asked to me: “How many streetlights are in Chicago” (which I would not have been able to think through before reaching out) I was able accurately almost to a T, impressing all my interviewers. I argue his patience, personality, and casing skills make him an excellent candidate for a coach - making both Leland and potential candidates a stronger organization.

During my MBA program I struggled with accounting. This was my first time dealing with the subject and was a big challenge for me. After asking for help, I started working with Joseph as my tutor. Joseph is a very talented tutor. He quickly assessed my level of understanding and started working from there. Joseph was willing to take the time needed to improve my knowledge. He is focused on setting strong knowledge foundations, rather than just giving “recipes” to solve problems or tests. Finally, Joseph is a very patient tutor. As a English as a second language student, he was able to transmit his knowledge and ideas fluently, and understood my questions even when language was a challenge for me. I strongly recommend Joseph as a tutor or coach with anything related his expertise.

Loved working with Kate! She’s super nice and easy to work with. She helped me with my English essays at school, studying for the AP English exam, as well as my common app essays for schools. She was a tremendous help and I would highly recommend her!

Kavana has taught me to take risks in all aspects of my life. Her fearless, go-getter attitude has motivated me to think bigger and believe in myself. Whether it’s through mock interviews, academic advice, or lessons on balancing work and life, Kavana has always been there with genuine care and support. She inspires because she truly puts her heart into helping others succeed.

Bri is a kind and personable coach whose strategic approach blends her top-tier professional consulting experience with the deep, insider knowledge gained from applying to and pursuing her Harvard and MIT degrees. She is highly professional, incredibly helpful, and consistently available for questions, making her guidance a truly necessary investment for competitive applications.

Anyone would be so lucky to have Kristina as a coach. I was lucky enough to be in Kristina's cluster at Columbia Business School, and she is not only smart but also genuine, kind, and thoughtful. She mentored so many students throughout our time at Columbia, from first years applying for MBA internships to prospective students writing application essays. Kristina has a wealth of experience in the beauty, fashion, and luxury spaces. She is truly one of a kind and I am honored to vouch for her!

I’ve known Mahim to be exceptionally driven and thoughtful in his approach to career and academic goals. His clarity of purpose and ability to execute make him a strong candidate for MBA guidance. He was a huge support to me, a constant guide, and a knowledgeable advisor throughout my career at Goldman, GMAT preparation, and MBA admissions.

Mahim was a fantastic help during my journey to getting an admit at Kellogg! From iterating with me over my resume to helping review my essays, Mahim helped me at every step of the application journey with appropriate feedback and attention to detail all the way. Even post my admission, Mahim guided me through the process till I got on campus, helping me learn more about the school, connect with the relevant folks, and answer all my logistical questions.

I can confidently say she’s one of those rare leaders who pairs world-class technical execution with genuine human empathy. Her background speaks for itself, she has spent her career where she’s taken some of the most complex NPI programs from concept to consumer, balancing cost, quality, and delivery with the grace of someone who truly gets how to make things happen in the real world. But what really sets Kavana apart is how she leads people. She listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and makes everyone around her feel seen and understood. Whether she’s guiding a supplier through a technical issue or mentoring a junior PM through a tough crossroads, she meets people where they are - with kindness, clarity, and respect. Kavana is the kind of person you go to when you need perspective - and you’ll walk away feeling grounded, inspired, and a little smarter.
