I requested aid to apply for a master’s admission at the University of Chicago, and I am proud to say that the team helped me significantly in achieving that dream. They were with me 24/7, assisting me with all the requirements to enter the program. What I liked the most was the holistic approach of their support, not only academically, but also mentally and emotionally.

Ellin and her team ensured my MBA journey as smooth and successful! I felt confident throughout the process and I'm sure they helped bring the best of me to my essays and interviews!

Alex helped me figure out a good post-MBA path. He met me where I was, and led me to places I had ever been before, thinking about the kind of career (and life!) I wanted to carve out. That was 11 years ago, and I am still benefiting to this day.

I can’t recommend Michael Picasso highly enough as a private equity coach. His guidance was instrumental during my recruiting process — helping me secure offers from both Warburg Pincus and General Atlantic. Michael brings the perfect balance of technical rigor and strategic insight, but what sets him apart is how much he truly cares. He knows what top-tier PE firms are looking for because he lives it — as a Principal at Warburg, his perspective is deeply informed, practical, and grounded in real experience. He helped me sharpen my investor mindset, anticipate interview dynamics, and articulate my story with clarity and confidence. I’m grateful to Michael not just for his coaching, but for being a thoughtful mentor and steady presence throughout what can be a very intense process. Anyone lucky enough to work with him is in the best possible hands.

Sanjeev is so well-informed and gives great feedback. He’s always willing to go the extra step to help out.

Kaylee has been a professional mentor to me for 5+ years. She has helped me navigate pivoting into product from sales and career changes along the way. Couldn't recommend more!

I worked closely with Amanda throughout my application process, and she was hands-down the most thorough and transparent advisor I engaged. She didn’t hesitate to walk me through both the strengths and missteps in her own journey, which made her guidance refreshingly honest and strategic. Amanda has a sharp understanding of what top schools are really looking for (beyond the usual stats and surface-level advice). I ultimately gained admission to Stanford GSB, and I can confidently say her insight, storytelling instincts, and radical transparency played a critical role in sharpening my application.

Sanjeev is not only one of the smartest people i’ve ever met, but is deeply kind and empathetic. He has always pushed me to work harder and been willing to call out the hard things others wouldn’t, to help me improve in needed areas. He would make not only an excellent case coach, with all his experiences and hard work, but also is the best mentor and friend a person could ask for. Would highly, highly recommend!

Angie is incredibly thoughtful, well-read, and great at connecting personal details about you to the next steps of meaningful fulfillment for you. She has helped me reframe zero sum thinking like “what is the perfect outcome” to more intrinsically motivated “what action aligns with the type of person I want to be?” Angie is deeply caring and will help you learn more deeply about yourself.

Angelo has been a valued advisor through my career, including my transitions into and out of consulting. His perspective on career growth and personal development has influenced not only what I’ve chosen to pursue, but how I go about it and how I measure that success. I’d recommend him highly to anyone interested in more effectively shaping their career (especially into consulting).
