Sainath’s Management Consulting Qualifications

Experience level: Associate Partner

20+ people coached for Management Consulting

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

I have over 12 years of senior level leadership experience in the consulting industry across all the top tier firms in their respective spaces. - Strategy (Boston Consulting Group, Accenture Strategy, PwC Strategy &) - Digital (BCG Digital Ventures, Razorfish) - AEC / Green/ Sustainability (confidential CEO-level clients) I have led interviewing at MBA programs (Stanford, Kellogg, UC Berkeley) and integration of new consulting cohorts. Management Consulting is continuing to transform at an incredible pace. The old business models and staffing models that drove career growth are no longer relevant. The confluence of new skills, capabilities and cultures in management consulting firms is both a source of new opportunities and risks (for those that may be under-prepared).

About Sainath

"I would like to do strategy consulting" ... "I know I can get to the next level" ... "I enjoy being strategic and want to make that a career" ... "I am worth it" If these resonate with you, you're in the right place. Not too long ago, I was in your shoes. I knew I had more to offer the world. I wanted to make a difference. Inaction was not an option. Status quo was starting to get repetitive and boring. Inaction would be inexpensive. But first ... I had to let go of my own limiting beliefs, procrastination and desire for perfection. I was no longer 'playing defense'. I was ready for the adventure. A startup. Kellogg MBA. Strategy Consulting. I made the leap from a successful corporate role as a CIO-direct report of a $3B company to over a decade of impactful experience in management consulting. My journey has been filled with learning, growth, and a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in this dynamic field. As someone who has navigated the intricate path from the corporate world to many facets of management consulting, I offer more than just advice; I offer a partnership. My commitment is to understand your unique goals and aspirations, leveraging my experience to be your thought partner. Together, we will unlock your fullest potential, focusing on your distinctive strengths and crafting a path that is uniquely yours. I am not here to offer a one-size-fits-all solution. If you're seeking a formulaic consultant or coach, I might not be the right fit. However, if the idea of having a dedicated advisor, committed to highlighting and harnessing your unique strengths, excites you, let's start a conversation. Your consulting career journey is uniquely yours. Let's make it remarkable.

Why do I coach?

With over 25 years in the business world, I've seen the highs and lows of a demanding career. My goal now is to use this experience to guide others. As your coach, I'll help you navigate your career more effectively, focusing on making the most of your time and overcoming any self-doubt. I bring to each session the integrity, rigor, and thoughtfulness that defined my career in strategy consulting. You deserve a coach who's not just a strategist but a partner in your professional growth. Let's work together to chart a path that reflects your goals and potential.
