My name is Ian Glennon and over the past 5 years I have coached 500+ candidates, run 4,000+ coaching sessions, trained consultants at major consultancies, and, ultimately, helped hundreds of candidates get their dream offer. I am the founder of Custom Case Coach and my mission is to offer the best interview prep for consulting candidates. I have combined my personal experience interviewing, my training at BCG, and my years of successfully coaching thousands of diverse candidates to create Custom Case Coach. This holistic program teaches candidates how to optimally approach casing, arming them with the preparation toolkit, mindset shifts, and customizable frameworks needed to tackle any case or interview they may encounter. While pursuing my MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business, I passed interviews for all 8 of the consulting and tech firms at which I interviewed, ultimately deciding to work at BCG. Leveraging this experience, I have built a flexible, diverse arsenal of practical guides to help you prepare for your next career step. No matter where you are in the process or what background you have – I’ve got you covered!

"Thank you so much, I could not have done it with out you!!" This is a message I've received over and over. After receiving and internship offer and return offer from EY-Parthenon, I have helped dozens of friends case, some landing internships at Bain, BCG, Oliver Wyman, Strategy&, and PWC. Over the past two years, I have developed 3 comprehensive case frameworks and a holistic approach to interview preparation. I have had great success helping my friends for no cost. As a client, you will receive the next level of commitment from me, and I am confident you will become another success story!

I help undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students break into MBBs (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other management consulting firms. I was part of Bain's interview team and have 8+ years of experience coaching applicants. Now, I coach full-time. Here are a few other things you should know about me: • Former member of Bain's on campus interview team — interviewed 60+ candidates and read 400+ applications • Specialize in helping my clients master the case interview — the most critical and difficult part of the process • Additional specialties — behavioral interview prep, resume/cover letter editing, networking guidance • Clients have broken into all the major consulting firms — Bain, BCG, McKinsey, ZS Associates, LEK, etc. • Education — MIT Sloan MBA (Class of 2021), Washington University in St. Louis (Class of 2016) I'm a full "partner" to my clients and our prep includes more than just live sessions: • I leverage top-quality asynchronous content on Leland+ (created by me and other coaches) to accelerate learning • I assign targeted exercises as homework to maintain momentum between sessions • I customize the process based on the candidate's timeline, target companies, and existing skills • I am available over email, phone, and the Leland platform for the duration of our work together and beyond • I give my clients cases from real interviews at Bain Some clients work with me for ~3-6 months while others reach out for support before a big interview. My system flexes to accommodate all candidate types.

As a former Consultant and interviewer at BCG, I bring a wealth of experience and insider knowledge to help you succeed in getting a MBB offer. During my time at BCG, I focus mostly on growth strategy and deal advisory projects in the consumer goods space. Regarding coaching, I have also coached 20+ individuals, with more than half landing MBB offers. I do this by writing my own cases based on my work, teaching them how to effectively present their interview responses (the real differentiator), and also explaining the real-world parallel behind these suggestions. If you are interested, I am happy to schedule a free introductory call. Let's start working towards your MBB offer!

On Consulting Case Interview prep: I interviewed candidates for BCG. Furthermore, as a Recruiting Director for our Empower Program (a recruiting program focused on Black and Latinx MBA candidates), I was personally responsible for preparing ~15-20 high-potential candidates, and achieved a historically high admission rate. Throughout my time at BCG, I helped dozens of candidates coming out of undergrad and grad school prepare for case interviews.

I graduated in Spring 2024 with an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and an MS in Design Innovation from the Segal Design Institute. I will be joining BCG's Tech and Digital Advantage practice as a Consultant after spending last summer interning there as well. Before Kellogg, I worked in education technology, corporate strategy and growth, and new product development. I specialized in data analytics, and conducting qualitative and quantitative user research. I've coached 9+ individuals through the consulting recruiting process, teaching critical consulting skills, frameworks, and business terminology. I have delivered 100+ cases, and received offers from Bain and BCG during my own recruiting cycle. I came from a nontraditional background myself, and have experience helping nontraditional candidates pitch and position themselves to stand out. At Kellogg, I led interview prep groups for consulting recruits, with my candidates going on to receive offers from Bain, BCG, McKinsey, EY-Parthenon, Deloitte, and L.E.K Consulting. If you're looking to break into management consulting or enhance your skills in this field, I would love to connect with you!

As a former Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, I bring a deep understanding of the management consulting industry and what it takes to succeed in the application process. I led the events workstream for Washington University in St. Louis recruiting, and my team organized resume workshops, case workshops, and other sessions to help candidates apply and interview at McKinsey. During my time at McKinsey, I led a hiring accelerator for one of my clients where I reviewed resumes, wrote resume review criteria, and wrote job descriptions to help my client determine who to interview and ultimately hire. I am my friends' go to person for helping with resume edits, LinkedIn reviews, and networking tips. I would love to help you land your dream consulting role!

As a McKinsey interviewer for 2 years, I possess a deep understanding of what consulting firms look for in candidates, how the recruitment process works, and the common pitfalls that applicants often encounter. Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on working with banks and consumer-facing products, engaging in projects that encompass traditional consulting strategy as well as new product launches. This diverse exposure has allowed me to develop a comprehensive perspective on the industry, enabling me to guide aspiring consultants effectively. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have taken on the role of a mentor and coach for over 30 individuals navigating the management consulting interview process and beyond. I provide guidance not only on how to succeed in interviews but also on determining whether management consulting is the right fit for each individual. My coaching style is characterized by candor and directness, as I believe in providing honest feedback to foster growth and improvement. However, I also bring a human lens to my approach, valuing the importance of personal well-being and mental health alongside professional success. What sets me apart as a coach is my non-traditional background in visual arts, which initially made me believe that breaking into the consulting industry was an impossible feat. Despite initial setbacks, including interview mishaps and limited networking opportunities, I persevered and found success. As a strong introvert myself, I understand the challenges and doubts that aspiring consultants may face. My aim is to provide a relatable perspective and guidance, empowering individuals with strategies to thrive in the field while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My recent experience in consulting ensures that I am up-to-date with the latest trends, particularly in the ever-evolving post-pandemic economic landscape.
