About Horatiu

From a small village in Romania to Philadelphia, London, Chicago, Seoul, San Francisco and Los Angeles, my personal and professional journey spans three continents. My diverse experiences—from corporate boardrooms and high-growth tech startups to the halls of higher education—have uniquely equipped me to guide MBA applicants in gaining admission to top-tier programs and to empower MBA candidates to launch extraordinary careers. When I’m not strategizing over essays or refining resumes, you’ll find me exploring Paris and Tokyo—my two happy places—and collecting photo-books. And here’s a twist: I design pearl jewelry for men, with clients including Justin Timberlake and Steph Curry. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗕𝗔 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Applying to an MBA program involves more than simply meeting requirements—it’s about telling a story that resonates. The most competitive candidates start early, conduct in-depth research, and devote careful attention to every component of their application. Your overarching goal: present a consistent, forward-looking narrative that emphasizes both what you’ll gain from an MBA and how you’ll contribute to your future cohort. I’m passionate about guiding high-potential applicants toward successful MBA, PTMBA, EMBA, and Deferred MBA admissions. My approach is highly personalized. We’ll start with an in-depth conversation about your background, experiences, and aspirations. I’ll help you identify the schools that best fit your goals, coach you through every step of the application process, and provide honest, actionable feedback. With my support, you’ll approach each application component—essays, recommendations, resumes, and interviews—with confidence, showcasing your full potential. The results speak for themselves. My clients have gained admission to HBS, Kellogg, Booth, Columbia, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, Berkeley, Fuqua, and Tuck among others.
