Garrett’s Career Development Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
Garrett has helped clients get into these companies:
I teach people how to build a career—and a life—of consequence, aligned with their own beliefs of what success truly means. Success is personal and varies from one individual to another. My goal is to help you create your unique model for success, integrating both your career and personal aspirations. I believe that a meaningful career flourishes when supported by a fulfilling life, which includes nurturing personal relationships, maintaining a healthy body and mind, and achieving financial stability. From there, I will work hand-in-hand with you to chart a path that takes you from your current position towards whatever long-term career or life aspirations you have. My coaching style is highly collaborative and tailored to your specific needs. I am committed to providing you with the maximum value during our time together. Here are some topics I frequently cover with clients: - Developing a 5/10/20+ year career and life plan - Identifying and seizing career and life opportunities - Creating a personal financial plan, including budgeting, investment strategies, and retirement planning - Managing stress and preventing burnout My coaching is particularly beneficial for students and young professionals aiming to build careers in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy and operations, startups, or venture capital. While I have deep expertise in these fields, I am also equipped to support individuals pursuing careers in other areas. My journey began in the performing arts. With a background in the performing arts growing up, I transitioned to a business career, studying finance in college. Initially, I struggled to reconcile these seemingly disparate identities. Through thoughtful career exploration, experimentation, and networking, I learned that I wanted to work as an operating executive in the media and entertainment industry. This led to two years at Bain & Company, where I led workstreams for clients in the media, technology, and consumer sectors. I now work as a Strategy & Innovation Associate at AGBO, the production company behind hits like "Everything Everywhere All At Once," "Avengers: Endgame," "Avengers: Infinity War," "Extraction," and "The Gray Man." In recent years, I’ve received interviews and offers from top media and entertainment companies such as YouTube, The Walt Disney Company, NFL, Live Nation, and NBCUniversal. Outside of work, I enjoy running marathons and ultramarathons, attending music festivals, and reviewing local restaurants. I’ve crafted a model for a career and life that fulfills my aspirations, and I’m excited to help you do the same! Let’s work together to build your path to success.

About Garrett
I spent 2 years as an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company, leading diverse workstreams for Fortune 500 and private equity clients across media, technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrials. My role also involved conducting resume reviews and spearheading recruiting efforts at my alma mater. Currently, I work as a Strategy & Innovation Associate at AGBO, an independent film, TV, and gaming studio founded by the Russo Brothers that produced recent hits including "Everything Everywhere All At Once," "Avengers: End Game", "Avengers: Infinity War", "Extraction", "Citadel", and "The Gray Man". I've interviewed with and/or received offers from Bain, BCG, McKinsey, The Walt Disney Company, YouTube, NFL, Bank of America, Live Nation, NBCUniversal, and Night Media. I graduated summa cum laude with highest honors from the University of Georgia and was on a full-ride merit scholarship awarded to <5% of applicants. On campus, I served as managing partner of a student-run VC and was president of the economics society. Outside of work, I enjoy running marathons and ultramarathons, attending music festivals, and reviewing local restaurants. As a coach, I hope to increase access to top careers. I've been coaching students on case interviews and reviewing undergrad resumes for two years, and I've had students place at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've reviewed 100s of resumes and ran over 100 cases. Ask me about discounts for UGA students and low-income professionals! All my links: linktr.ee/garrettwilliams
