About

Hi, I’m Joseph (Joey) Astolfi. I grew up in Atlanta after my parents immigrated to the U.S. from Argentina. I earned my B.B.A. in Finance, Management Information Systems, and International Business from the University of Georgia (UGA). At UGA, I served as Head of the Investment Banking Training Program (the Corsair Society), where I mentored 32 students who secured job opportunities across New York, Chicago, Boston, Charlotte, and Atlanta. After graduating, I joined Moelis & Company as an Investment Banking Analyst, where I spent two years focusing on M&A and restructuring across Industrials, Business/Healthcare Services, and Energy. Following my time at Moelis, I joined American Securities as an Associate on the Investment Team and was promoted to Senior Associate after my second year. I am currently an MBA Candidate at Harvard Business School. Outside of school and work I enjoy the outdoors, sports, and travel!

Alexander also coaches for Investment Banking and Private Equity. View all.

Alexander’s MBA Qualifications

Coaches professionally

As an active Harvard MBA candidate, I understand the complexities of the admissions process from both a strategic and personal perspective. While working in private equity, I successfully managed the demands of a full-time job alongside preparing my MBA application. My experience navigating this process has given me valuable insights into creating a compelling application while balancing other commitments. I enjoy helping prospective MBA candidates with every step of their journey, from GMAT preparation to crafting a standout resume and securing impactful recommendations. Having gone through this process myself, I focus on offering practical, actionable advice tailored to each applicant’s unique strengths and goals.

Why do I coach?

I coach because mentorship has been pivotal to my success at every stage of my career. From breaking into investment banking and private equity to navigating the MBA admissions process, I’ve benefited immensely from the guidance of others. Coaching is my way of giving back—helping others overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and unlock opportunities that can shape their careers.
