About Yash
I help undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students break into MBBs (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and other management consulting firms. I was part of Bain's admissions team and have 10+ years of experience coaching applicants. Here are the highlights of my background: • Education | Southern Methodist University (Class of 2017, Full Ride Merit Scholarship) • Bain Experience | I worked for Bain for 4 years with a focus on M&A and growth strategy; I received the MBA and Consultant offer, but turned it down to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions • Interview Experience | Former member of Bain's admissions team - prepped 15+ candidates and read 400+ applications. I played a direct role in the hiring decision • Now | I'm an entrepreneur and started my own executive & leadership coaching firm • Other | I love to read (psychology and sci-fi), go outside, and play sports (pickleball, climbing, swimming, skiing, weightlifting)
Why do I coach?
I've been coaching for over 10 years. I started as a peak performance coach, working with entrepreneurs and athletes to apply peak performance psychology to their businesses, and now focus on helping people master consulting case interviews and break into MBBs. Mentorship and coaching have played a central role in my professional growth. Having someone in my corner who believes in me, supports me, and guides me from experience has been an invaluable tool that helps pick me up when I'm down and dream even bigger when I'm up. I became a coach in order to pay that forward. As a coach, I partner with clients to empower them to navigate their journeys and build the inner trust required to make their own decisions.
