I work with senior professionals applying to top MBA programs. Since 2020, I've supported 200+ candidates, with successful admits across the M7, the European top tier, and Asian elite programs — including LBS, INSEAD, Kellogg, Columbia, Yale, ISB, NUS. For 4 years through 2025, I also sat on LBS's official admissions panel.

Successful admits across the M7, the European top tier, and Asian elite programs.
Every engagement moves through the same three phases. Each has a clear checkpoint before the next begins — so the work builds on solid ground rather than getting ahead of itself.
Deep career-trajectory analysis, short- and long-term goals, a 40–60 story bank, a rewritten resume, a school-level research playbook and a shortlist of no more than seven schools chosen for fit not brand.
Passes when: Your goals, narrative, resume and shortlist hang together as one argument a stranger could summarise in a sentence.
I build the argument, you write every draft. Iteration against the six essay laws, cross-essay coherence, recommender briefs and scholarship essays — all held to the same rigour.
Passes when: Every essay clears the checklist before it leaves your file.
A final gap analysis, full pre-submission QA, locked essays, school-specific resumes, finalised recommender letters and a full application-form check. Then submit.
Passes when: Your applications are consistent across schools and differentiated within each one.
