About Sean
After graduating from Emory University, I spent two years in investment banking, first at Guggenheim Partners, where I covered a variety of Financial Technology and FIG clients, and then moving to Jefferies where I covered Software. I worked on buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions, as well as a number of growth equity transactions for prominent software companies in the 2021-2022 period. I received an accelerated promotion to Associate following my first year at Jefferies. I then transitioned from IB -> PE, where I've worked for the last three years. I cover software and tech-enabled services at an international PE firm, headquartered and publicly listed in London (3i Group). For both my time in IB and PE, I've been highly involved in Analyst and Associate recruiting, with a specific focus on Technical Interviews. I was also involved in Admissions for the Business School at my undergraduate university (Emory), and was later admitted to the 2+2 program at Columbia Business School. I look forward to meeting you!
Why do I coach?
I’ve had the benefit of having a number of wonderful mentors and coaches throughout my career. These coaches have helped me identify my personal strengths and weaknesses, which has allowed me to drive success in interviewing and my career. I’m hoping to provide this service for others.
