Hello and welcome to my profile!

About me:
- First place in the McKinsey Impact Experience competition among 3,000+ competitors
- Former McKinsey consultant and internal case interview faculty, supporting new candidates and delivering training to help them succeed in their interviews.
- One of McKinsey’s recruitment champions for South Brazil, leading efforts to attract top talent to the firm.  
- Currently working as a Product Ops Manager at Nubank, the largest fintech in LATAM, ranked among the top 5% of performers in my field.  
- Responsible for problem-solving internal training at Nubank, equipping teams with the tools and techniques to tackle complex challenges.  
- Part of Nubank’s recruiting workforce, where I have interviewed several new candidates for Product Ops and Product Management positions.

I'm a skilled coach with a genuine interest in business case structuring, problem-solving techniques, and expertise in behavioral interview preparation (one of my interviewers at McKinsey literally told me he would never forget my personal experience interview - no BS here).

With over 200 case sessions under my belt, I learned that what land offers in consulting is thoughtful preparation and hard work - which doesn’t mean doing +100 cases, but rather relentlessly focusing on what you need to develop to present a top performance.

Before succeeding in my own consulting interviews, I had to improve my structuring, math and communication skills - yes, I was all over the place. After putting in the hard work, these areas became strengths that continue to serve me in real life.

If I could develop these skills and land an offer at McKinsey, you can, too. I’m here to guide you every step of the way with a thoughtful, results-driven approach to make your consulting goals a reality.

I’m a realistic-optimistic coach. I believe anyone can make it to consulting if they’re truly committed to the learning process.

My approach is to laser focus on the gaps one has to make sure the candidate is confident in all parts of the case using a structured approach. Additionally, making sure one has compelling real stories that will WOW interviewers (50% of candidates get rejected in this part which is often overlooked).
