Kathleen’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Case Team Leader

Kathleen has helped clients get into these companies:

I have extensive interviewing experience, including giving cases, from throughout my professional career. These include MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. More specifically, prior to Booth, I interviewed >100 of people during my time at Cornerstone Research, where I ended my time as the Head of Recruiting for the Boston office for the 2015 season. While at Booth, I conducted MBA Admissions interviews for applicants. With respect to management consulting, I was selected as a BCG MBA fellow prior to starting at Booth and successfully navigated the summer internship recruiting process to be a Bain Summer Associate. Since then, I have given numerous live interviews on behalf of Bain as well as helped countless students while at Booth and at Bain learn how to case successfully. I am really excited to start working with more prospective MBA applicants and management consultants navigate the interview process. From helping to craft behavioral interview answers to learning case frameworks to running practice cases, I am excited to work with you to address your particular needs and feedback areas.

About Kathleen

I have extensive interviewing experience from throughout my professional career. These include MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. I graduated from Colby College with a BA in Economics/Mathematics before starting my career at Cornerstone Research, an economic consulting firm specializing in economic and financial analysis for litigation. I then attended University of Chicago Booth School of Business before continuing my consulting career at Bain. Over the 3.5 years I was there, I embraced the generalist model and did work across a variety of functions and industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and hospitality. Post-Bain, I'm focused on retail/consumer and e-commerce -- currently, as Sr. Director, Special Projects and general manager of the marketplace business at Ruggable, the Original Washable Rug.

Why do I coach?

I've enjoyed coaching and being a mentor throughout my career -- it's a great way to give back, given how much I've benefited from mentors and coaches throughout my own career.
