Work with Laura
About
What's up, I'm John Kreider! I'm a first generation college student, was a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company and Private Equity as an Associate, and I am a current student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I split my time on Leland between MBA, VC / PE, and MBB case interview prep and coaching. On the MBA side, I've helped many get into top MBA programs, especially on refining the essays and telling, "What matters most, and why?" On the VC / PE side, I have helped many to prepare for their interviews, from modeling out customer retention all the way to preparing for the interview itself. On the MBB case interview side, I have personally done over 100 cases and given hundred more, helping dozens of students get offers at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. I've also gotten others hired from industry, which is an uncommon strength.
Laura also coaches for Venture Capital and Management Consulting. View all.
