Jon stepped in at a critical time in my career to help me through a difficult job transition. With his help, I landed my dream Product Manager role. He is a true friend and mentor!

I've had the privilege of receiving help from Jarnickae on several occasions. He's one of the smartest people I know, with an unparalleled ability to break down complex problems, make connections, and understand nuances. Jarnickae strikes the perfect balance between encouragement, empathy, and constructive feedback. I can confidently say Jarnickae is someone anyone would be lucky to have on their team.

Abby and I shared the same workplace. Her prompt and kind responses to the each query an applicant could have is a breath of fresh air and is immensely helpful. If you are about to begin or are in the middle of the arduous application journey and are trying to find the right people, mentors for yourself who have just the right combination of temperament and required experience, look no further. You will definitely find such a person in Abby.

Abby is an amazing writer and thought partner. She helped me restructure essays and improve them significantly. On top of that, she is incredibly kind. Applying to grad school is a stressful process--Abby helped minims that stress both by keeping me organized and lending a listening ear. Our work together let me put my best foot forward in my grad school applications.

Alex and I attended Hamilton college together and overlapped in San Francisco for a year. He presents a calm demeanor, deep intellectual curiosity, and forms strong personal connections with those around him. I’ve received many useful career pointers from him over the years and think he’d make an excellent advisor / coach.

During my application for the Schwarzman Scholars program, Michael's feedback was really critical in making my short essays stood out, which ultimately helped me landed the fully funded scholarship. Following my conversations with him, he guided me to identify my unique personal story, link my experiences to impact, and make use of each element of my application to connect to the core visions of the program. I would not have truly considered applying to the program without his encouraging words. Not only does he have a strategic mindset, but he also made me believe in my success.

Milton has provided me invaluable advice and support as I began my career in investment banking and think about the next stages of my career. He thoroughly reviewed my resume, offering insightful feedback that significantly improved its quality. His suggestions helped me better highlight my strengths and achievements. Additionally, Milton shared his extensive industry knowledge, offering practical advice on my career trajectory. His willingness to share expertise and provide constructive feedback demonstrates his commitment to fostering junior professionals. I highly recommend Milton as a career mentor and advisor.

I worked with Alex closely during our time at Goldman Sachs IBD together. He was a great mentor to me during that chapter of my career and continues to be someone I can reach out to for questions whenever I want to chat through next steps in my professional experience. I think Alex would be an invaluable addition to the Leland community as he has a lot of experience re breaking into finance and making a pivot within finance (from BoA to GS and from healthcare to TMT to recruiting from IB to growth equity/private equity), but is also generally a tremendously thoughtful and kind individual who is eager to help others!

Met Milton my last year of college, and since then, he's been a great pillar in my personal growth. Anytime I seek guidance, in my career or personal life, he's always willing to give me sound advice. In these past 7 years, I can say this mentor has become a friend. I am happy I have someone like him in my corner and hope many others can experience this.

Jon is a great leader, coach, and mentor. His strong product management skills allow him to focus on the problems to solve and identify solutions that create value. While working with him I saw him navigate various obstacles with grace and humility. He was always a great thought partner and an advocate for his team and peers. I have no doubt that his prior training and experience will make him a great coach for future leaders.
