About Thomas
Coaching Approach
Work Experience

Hello, my name is Thomas Polo. I am a former Manager at McKinsey & Company where I led a team of 15+ generalist and expert consultants in the US, Europe and Asia.

What Sets Me Apart

  • Unlike other traditional consultants, I have been in charge of building and hiring my team myself, from resume screening to interviewing 150+ candidates and orchestrating the entire decision-making process.
  • I know what it takes to get an MBB job offer, as I have been on the other side of the table for 4+ years. 
  • I have hired consultants across the USA, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. I have worked with recruiters around the world and learned what it takes to get a “YES!” from everyone involved.

I Have Been In Your Shoes

  • I remember my recruiting days well. Landing a consulting job was my only chance to stay and live in the US, so I went all in.
  • I practiced 100+ mock interviews, asked dozens of people to review my resume, and went to every job networking opportunity available.
  • My technique got me offers from MBB as well as several Big 4 and boutique firms. I learned what works and what does not, and I will share it with you.

On A More Personal Level

I am originally from France and have been living in the US for the past 7 years. I have lived and worked in many states and countries, but nowadays I call San Francisco home. I am an avid cyclist, adventure junkie, video/photographer and a board game lover. 

I cannot wait to help you land your dream job!

For our 1-hour session, I adapt to your needs. I typically cover the following:

  • Case Interview: We work on an MBB-style case interview during 40-45 minutes. During feedback, I leverage the McKinsey framework I used when hiring. I typically focus most of my feedback on your areas of improvement - this is the only way to get better!
  • Personal Experience Interview (PEI), also called Behavioral Interview: Everyone underestimates the importance of this exercise. Most candidates I’d turn down was due to their PEI. To ensure this is not you, I help you craft, structure and tell impactful stories to shine during what is, in my eyes, the trickiest part of any MBB interview.
  • Targeted Practice: I identify your main areas of improvement and focus on them until the end of our session. It can be structuring your framework, analyzing data, quantitative analysis, or creative thinking. I leave you with actionable next steps to master every aspect of the case.

Additional Services: 

  • Resume & Cover Letter Improvements: As I screened hundreds of resumes when hiring my team, I can help you create your best resume and cover letter. I provide thorough comments and edits on your documents, in addition to a follow-up call to address any questions.
  • Networking Support: I help with leveraging your network as best as you can, including securing referrals and mastering cold outreach.
