About
After networking my way into final round interviews from a non-target school (Case Western) at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, and Accenture, I ended up interning and then returning full time to McKinsey. After spending 3 years there, I moved to Boston to work as an Associate at a Middle-Market PE fund called AVALT, where I was eventually directly promoted to Vice President. I recently quit to raise my own fund, and am offering coaching on the side!

Coaches professionally
Experience level: Vice President
Keith has helped clients get into these companies:
After spending 3 years at McKinsey, I moved to the buyside as an Associate to join a $1B Mid-market fund in Boston called AVALT, formed by a collection of former Bain Capital partners. I was promoted to Senior Associate and then Vice President without needing to go to business school, and was an interviewer for intern, analyst, and associate candidates. AVALT is a "consultant-friendly" PE shop, so my coaching is best directed at those targeting funds like AVALT (e.g., Golden Gate, Bain Capital, Serent, HGGC) than it is for IB-heavy shops.

Why do I coach?
My father was my 6th grade math teacher, and he inspired me to study engineering which set my life on its current track. He was tragically killed in an accident in November 2023 which has caused me to leave my job in Private Equity to go out and do something on my own.
