About Luis

Hi! My name is Luis, and I'm excited to share my story with you. I understand the challenges and hurdles of the MBA application process. But I also know firsthand that overcoming them and getting into your dream school is possible. I got into the GSB by being authentic in my application and working tirelessly to bring out the best version of myself. And now, I want to help you do the same - helping you to bring your unique story to life in your application. With my experience working in various roles at Pepsico for five years, including brand and innovation, supply chain, sales finance, and global business services, I have gained valuable insights into the business world. My transition to investing, where I have worked in venture capital, growth equity, and private equity, has given me a unique perspective on the entrepreneurial ecosystem. As a general partner at the 23 Fund, a seed fund that invests in Stanford startups, I have helped many entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. As a VP at a specialized PE firm, I am currently helping entrepreneurs buy and build great businesses. So whether you are applying to your dream school or landing your dream job, we will work together to showcase your strengths, your accomplishments, and your untapped potential.

Why do I coach?

I coach because mentorship changed my life, and I want to pay it forward by helping others achieve their dreams. As the first person in my family to attend college, I know firsthand the impact a mentor can have on one's life. My mentors helped me see the realm of possibility and encouraged me to pursue my passions. Now, as an MBA admissions/career coach, I want to be that same kind of mentor for my clients. I want to help you put your best foot forward and showcase your unique strengths and talents. I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve their dreams, and I want to help you do just that.
