Kris has helped clients get into these companies:

Hi there, and welcome to my profile! I’m currently an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company, where I’ve worked on 20+ due diligence projects for investor clients, from hedge funds to early-stage VCs. I’m passionate about diving deep into exciting businesses, uncovering growth opportunities, and brainstorming creative strategies for success. Getting here wasn’t exactly traditional—I tackled consulting recruiting with just two months of prep and ended up with offers from all three MBB firms, as well as private equity analyst programs. Now, I want to pay it forward. Through Leland, I’m here to be the resource I wish I had during my own journey through college, professional development, and full-time recruiting. Whether it’s navigating consulting applications, acing case interviews, or optimizing your resume, I’ve been fortunate to coach others through the process and would love to help you do the same. Feel free to reach out—I’m excited to connect and support you on your journey!

About Kris

Hey, I’m Kris! My journey has been a mix of business, problem-solving, and a whole lot of speed—literally. I’m currently an Associate Consultant at Bain & Company in San Francisco. I primarily work in Bain's Private Equity Group (PEG) where I help private equity and venture capital funds evaluate investments and deals​. Before Bain, I was at UCLA, where I earned my degree in Business Economics in just over two years​. My time there was fast-paced (just how I like it), balancing academics with being a Finance TA, working with startups in venture capital, and exploring my passion for investing and strategy. Outside of school, I have spend a lot of time in racing—I competed professionally in touring and GT championships across Asia and North America​. Whether on the track or in the business world, I’ve always thrived in high-pressure environments that demand quick thinking and strategy. Now, I love helping others navigate their own career journeys. Whether you’re breaking into consulting, prepping for PE/VC roles, or just figuring out your next step, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned along the way. Let’s chat!

Why do I coach?

I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had amazing mentors throughout my journey—whether it was during my time at UCLA, my internships in venture capital, or breaking into consulting and private equity​. Their guidance helped me navigate tough career decisions, tackle recruiting challenges, and ultimately land opportunities I never thought possible. Now, I want to pay it forward. I know how overwhelming it can be to figure out your next step, prep for interviews, or break into competitive industries. That’s why I coach—because I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how much of a difference the right advice at the right time can make. Whether you need help crafting your story, mastering case interviews, or building confidence in the process, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned and help in any way I can.
