About Craig

With a decade of finance and education experience at firms like KKR and Goldman Sachs, I have mentored and coached hundreds of undergrads, MBAs, investment bankers and FP&A professionals to help them break into finance and find investment banking, growth equity, venture capital and buyout roles. At Goldman Sachs, I conducted investment banking interviews for both summer internships and internal mobility Associates. I was also a Summer Analyst captain for summer interns and know what it takes to ace your interviews and secure a full-time offer. I also have substantial Private Equity expertise from two years as an Associate at KKR. I have previously led bootcamps for Wall Street Oasis and led the development of their PE Deals Process training course. In addition to coaching young professionals, I run a small financial modeling software business and host the Breaking Into Finance Podcast, which shares technical content and interviews that focus on educating and explaining various finance concepts and career paths.

Why do I coach?

I am passionate about the power of education in transforming personal circumstances to unlock a fulfilling and rewarding career.
