Ian helped me navigate not one, but two transitions. The first was was when I left the military and was applying to MBAs, and the second was when I was exploring careers in VC and entrepreneurship. He has the ability to give specific, actionable, and thoughtful advice while tailoring it to the mentee. Thank you for your support, Ian!

I wouldn’t have gotten into the GSB without Ian

Reflective, thoughtful coach. Ian is wise beyond his years and has helped me overcome several personal and professional hurdles. You'd be lucky to work with him.

Cecily was an incredibly supportive and knowledgeable college counselor. Her special insight into the college admissions process, gained from her previous work experience, allowed her to advise me on which parts of my application were too generic and commonly seen by colleges.. Cecily helped me highlight my unique strengths through my essays and submit applications I was proud of. Thanks to her expertise, I was accepted into my dream school, and I’m incredibly grateful to Cecily for that!

Gelila has been an invaluable mentor as I’ve navigated my early career in tech. Her deep understanding of the tech recruiting landscape, especially at startups, has been instrumental. She's exceptionally skilled at tailoring her advice to my specific goals and experiences. We worked together to identify companies that were a good fit for me based on their culture, mission, and growth potential. She also provided me with insights into the hiring process from both the candidate and the recruiter’s perspective, which gave me a significant advantage. Gelila is unique in that I don’t even need to ask the right questions to tap into her tremendous base of knowledge; she has this ability to anticipate the most pressing questions for the stage of career I am in. Her mentorship has offered me insight into resumes, interviewing, cold outreach, offers, negotiations, and networking. Her guidance was invaluable in helping me land my internship, which ultimately led to my full-time role!

Matt was an incredible coach and played an essential role in me reaching my goal in a very challenging coding class. He is very knowledgeable and was so patient with me. He explained things well and went above and beyond to help me understand the concepts.

I have worked with Matt and I would strongly recommend his software development expertise. From coding interviews to about anything else you can think of, his methods of teaching are simple, credible, and easily understood. Matt is also an excellent communicator with an easygoing personality!

Matt is a great leader and team member that is enjoyable to work with and be able to rely on! Working with him, I knew I could trust that he would do good job on projects. If he every ran into an obstacle he was communicative about it and always found away to work through it.

He’s a strategic thinker, who often pushes the boundary and thinks outside the box.
