About Alex

Alex graduated from Colgate University, where he was pre-med and studied Behavioral Neuroscience. After what was supposed to be a gap year before med school turned into 3 years in management consulting and 2 years in Corporate Development & Strategy at Foundation Medicine, he applied to business school and attended Berkeley Haas as a dual degree MBA/MPH. While at Haas he led the Careers team for the Haas Healthcare Association, the Social team for Q@Haas (our LGBTQ+ affinity group) and spent time as a Storytelling and Presentation Coach. He joined Pfizer's MBA Marketing Rotational Program upon graduation. Alex's specialty is helping candidates tell their stories and frame their applications in memorable, differentiated, and most importantly, authentic ways. He has coached 25+ people throughout his time at Haas and his coaching experience ranges from MBA admissions to interview prep to best man / maid of honor speech writing and delivery. He is particularly passionate about helping queer and other underrepresented applicants craft their applications.

Why do I coach?

Coaching is an incredible opportunity to build a genuine connection with people while helping them achieve their goals. Getting to know someone on a deep level and seeing them realize new things about themselves through the coaching process is incredibly rewarding.
