Daniel’s MBA Qualifications
Daniel has helped clients get into these schools:
Welcome! With a unique background that includes a dual-MBA/Masters from Yale SOM and HEC Paris, I bring a great deal of knowledge and experience to help you navigate and land at your MBA program of choice and succeed in your post-MBA career. I'm an expert in interviewing, having interviewed hundreds of applicants between Amazon and management consulting, both of which are very challenging interview formats. I have reviewed and written a large number of MBA admissions essays and have been praised for my writing ability and command of language. I personally used my MBA experience to make the triple jump: Industry, function, and geography - and I'd be glad to coach you on doing that or other career decisions you're considering. I'm particularly passionate about helping American candidates apply to International MBA programs and helping international candidates feel prepared for US-based schools. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls Looking forward to working with folks. Don't hesitate to reach out!

Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe that everyone needs a cheerleader. I have had some incredible cheerleaders and coaches in my life that have helped me get to where I am now. But I recognize that a lot of people don't have a trusted coach and guide to help them on some of their biggest life and career goals. My goal is to be that cheerleader and coach for people to help them get to the next step where they'll be most fulfilled. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls
