About James
Hi! I'm a Columbia MBA, former McKinsey consultant, and current Director of Strategy & Business Development.

Why do I coach?
As a business school graduate and ex-McKinsey consultant, I know how challenging it is to put yourself out there and apply for a highly selective spot.

I love to pay it forward and help other applicants do the same.
