Lucy’s MBA Qualifications

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

To get into business school, you need to show ambition, tell your authentic story and leave the admissions committee thinking that the next and only thing you must to do achieve your dreams is come to their business school. I can help you figure out what story you are trying to tell and bring that to life with each part of your application. I can also offer interview coaching, which can be an unfamiliar process for those interviewing at Harvard.

About Lucy

I'm an investor and writer focused on the energy transition and climate change (check out esgstuff.substack.com). I've had an exciting and diverse set of career experiences, ranging from working as an engineer on oil rigs for ExxonMobil in Australia, consulting to energy and public sector clients at BCG, and working in international development for the IFC (part of the World Bank), the UN in Ethiopia and CrossBoundary in Kenya. I landed a job in infrastructure PE at Blackstone in London after graduating from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School. I am a British/Australian and grew up in South East Asia.

Why do I coach?

I know what it's like to be told you can't do something by 95% of people, but achieve it anyway with the support of the 5% who believe in you. I got a Fulbright scholarship to study at Harvard Business School, somewhere I never thought I could study. I transitioned to the world's largest private equity firm without ever working in banking, with five other investing offers in my back pocket. If you're motivated, I would be happy to be in the 5% of people who support you to achieve your goals too.
