Senior PE Investor - Private Equity Prep | Stanford MBA
Experience level: Vice President
10+ people coached for Private Equity
With a robust background in investing, I bring firsthand experience from top firms like Madison Dearborn Partners and Water Street Healthcare Partners. After earning my MBA at Stanford, I joined Water Street as a Vice President where I balanced investing responsibilities with leading Associate recruiting. During my tenure, I reviewed hundreds of resumes, and conducted over 50 interviews, giving me deep insights into what PE firms seek in standout candidates. I have helped many young finance professionals narrow down their recruiting focus, craft their resumes and nail their interviews. If you're looking to break into private equity, let's connect and strategize your path to success!
