Management Consulting Coaches, Events, and Resources

I worked in management consulting for almost a decade across a variety of roles - as a Business Analyst, Associate, Engagement Manager, and Associate Partner. At McKinsey, I was a Faculty member who led analyst and associate trainings and conducted hundreds of hours of interview coaching. At UVA and HBS, I peer coached classmates to prepare for the consulting interview process.

I've built a strong playbook of exactly what a student needs to do to maximize their chance to land MBB offers, and I want to mold that framework to fit your timeline and needs. Following my BCG internship, I was the president of the management consulting club at Brigham Young University. I spent hundreds of hours coaching and casing, and I helped many students change their entire resume and qualify for interviews and offers at top consulting firms.

I spent 7 years at BCG, from Associate to Project Leader. During this time, I was also first Recruiting Coach and then Interviewer, having coached and interviewed 100+ applicants for Associate & Consultant positions. I did my MBA degree at INSEAD, during which I coached 50+ of my co-students who were trying to get into Consulting. Finally, after leaving consulting, I also intensively coached my wife who as a result got offers from McKinsey, BCG and Bain.

Prior to starting at Kellogg, I was selected as a McKinsey Emerging Scholar and pursued management consulting post-MBA. I received 3/3 internship offers from McKinsey, BCG, & Bain. I can help you understand differences between the firms, how to prepare differently, and what it takes to succeed. After joining Bain's Chicago office post-Kellogg, I also served as the on-campus rep for Global Bain recruiting where I spent 6 months meeting and preparing full-time students for the consulting interview process. I've given more prep case interviews than I can count, including traditional case and behavioral, and have a unique arsenal of tips to prepare you to succeed in MBB interviews.

I am the founder of Custom Case Coach and my mission is to offer the best interview prep for consulting candidates. I have combined my personal experience interviewing, my training at BCG, and my years of successfully coaching thousands of diverse candidates to create Custom Case Coach. This holistic program teaches candidates how to optimally approach casing, arming them with the preparation toolkit, mindset shifts, and customizable frameworks needed to tackle any case or interview they may encounter. While pursuing my MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business, I passed interviews for all 8 of the consulting and tech firms at which I interviewed, ultimately deciding to work at BCG. Leveraging this experience, I have built a flexible, diverse arsenal of practical guides to help you prepare for your next career step. No matter where you are in the process or what background you have – I’ve got you covered!

Welcome to my profile! I’m a former McKinsey Digital consultant who helps candidates break into top-tier consulting firms with confidence and clarity. Over the past few years, I’ve coached more than 40 aspiring consultants, from undergraduates to experienced professionals, who went on to secure offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, and other leading firms. Drawing on my McKinsey experience in digital strategy, product management, and client delivery, I teach candidates how to think, communicate, and problem-solve like consultants. My coaching combines insider frameworks, live case simulations, and tailored feedback to sharpen analytical rigor, structure, and executive presence. Beyond interview prep, I help clients craft powerful resumes and personal stories that stand out in a competitive recruiting process. My goal is to not only help you land the offer, but to equip you with the skills and confidence to thrive once you do.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Alex Shushunov, a former McKinsey consultant and current Product Manager at Supernal. With over 14 years of experience in aerospace and defense, I have successfully led diverse, multi-component teams in challenging environments. As an MBA graduate from the University of Michigan, I have focused exclusively on serving clients in the aerospace, defense, space, and aviation sectors. I have advised senior leadership on strategic growth, operational excellence, transformation and implementation, commercial excellence, supply chain optimization, and project/program management. While working at both Accenture and McKinsey, I was an interviewer as well as a campus and veteran recruiting lead. Over the past 5 years, I've coached over 100+ people on consulting case interview prep with a high rate of success. I know what exactly what consulting firms are looking for, so let me help you get there!

Why you should work with me: ◆ I was part of Bain's interview team and know exactly what it takes to break into MBBs (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) ◆ In the summer/fall 2025 cycle for undergrad and MBA hiring, my candidates landed the following offers: Bain (10), McKinsey (5), BCG (4), LEK (3), Kearney (1) ◆ I've coached for over 1,000 hours, have the most sessions run of any Management Consulting coach on Leland, and have helped candidates land 150+ offers at MBBs and similar firms ◆ I've developed a comprehensive coaching system built on targeted learning/drills for every case element (includes take-home resources and in-session drills) – which is far more effective than only running full cases, both in terms of the time it takes for candidates to come up the learning cure and the level to which they perform ◆ I work with candidates at every stage of the process – for some it's ~1-3 cases to polish before a final round, whereas for many it's a ~2-4 month fully-comprehensive partnership that covers all elements (networking, resume, cover letter, applications, interview prep, etc.) ◆ I'm 100% bought in on my clients' success – I love this work and put just as much of my heart into the process as my candidates do (and sometimes more 😀) Clients often report that I'm the coach who says what other coaches are unwilling to say – whether that's providing a fully transparent assessment of where they're falling short, addressing a lack of confidence, or correcting a tendency to use language that's overly forced and formal. I address whatever needs to be addressed to give my candidates the best chance of landing their dream job. My style is direct, honest, and deeply supportive! And I love to laugh too.

If you want senior-level, no-fluff coaching for MBB recruiting, you’re in the right place. I spent 4.5 years at Bain and two of those years as a case team manager leading teams and training consultants. I have interviewed candidates across undergrad, MBA, advanced degree, and experienced hire pipelines, and I have been in the hiring committee rooms where final offer decisions get made. That perspective matters because I can tell you what interviewers are actually listening for, how to avoid common traps, and what it takes to earn a confident yes in a competitive slate. I also care deeply about coaching and development. At Bain, I mentored case team members on the skills that separate great consultants from good ones so you are not only prepared to land the offer, but to thrive once you start. I have worked across Bain’s Seattle, San Francisco, and Brussels offices, and I earned offers from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey during MBA recruiting. If you are aiming for MBB and want candid, senior feedback with a clear plan to improve fast, I would love to work together.

As an ex-BCG Project Leader and Interviewer, I'm intimately familiar with the consulting interview process, spanning from case to behavioral interviews. I was President of Consulting Prep for both Wharton's Consulting Club (MBA) and UT Austin's Consulting club (Undergrad), through which I've developed a "ground up" approach to building specific core consulting interview skills, then integrating them into a strong overall case interviewing muscle. My approach has garnered significant positive feedback and recognition, resulting in helping over 200 mentees achieve offers at top firms. For my efforts, I was awarded the Career Mentorship award at Wharton. I am fortunate to still have strong contact with many of my mentees, nearly all of whom have gone on great careers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, Deloitte, and Accenture (as well as other firms). Several of these mentees have gone on to achieve great post-consulting careers as well, ranging from Private Equity, to Tech Product Management, to Corporate Strategy I break down my feedback on each case interview into 5 areas, and give detailed, actionable feedback on each: Clarification, Frameworking, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and Synthesis. This approach has been strongly validated by mentees and resulted in offers across all top firms. My foundations-first approach has led to being named a Leland Top 10 Management Consulting Coach in 2025, as well as a Top 50 coach across all disciplines in 2024.
