Hi! I'm Brad, an experienced management consulting applications coach.

I was also part of the Global Training Team and lead global training sessions for Associate Consultants, Senior Associate Consultants and Consultants, as well as being the lead trainer for the same groups for domestic training.

About Brad
Hi there! I lead Bain Australia'srecruitment processes on behalf of the firm’s leadership team (Partners, Principles Senior Managers) for Associate Consultants (e.g. new graduates), as well as being the MBA school recruitment lead for INSEAD. I was also part of the Global Training Team and lead global training sessions for Associate Consultants, Senior Associate Consultants and Consultants, as well as being the lead trainer for the same groups for domestic training. Before joining Bain, I had significant interviewing a coaching experience outside of consulting, including hiring >30 FTEs across various professional roles (including private equity), coaching new police recruits on forensic shoeprint retrieval and interpretation at the New Zealand Police College and tutoring at the University of Auckland School of Medicine. I was a ‘non-traditional’ candidate in many respects (formerly a scientist, limited business experience before joining Bain) so I was put forward by Bain to speak to other non-traditional candidates about how to approach the recruiting process and what life at Bain/a corporate/consulting was really like. Along the way, I developed a lot of insights on how non-traditional candidates should approach the recruitment process to both put themselves at ease and how to a present themselves favourably in what is an unfamiliar environment.
Why do I coach?
My recruiting and training experiences are amongst my fondest from Bain (in fact I considered leaving the consulting team to join the global professional development team at one stage), so the opportunity to support you on your journey into management consulting is one that I’m tremendously excited about.
