About
I'm a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (San Francisco) and a Wharton MBA graduate, with a background that spans strategy consulting and tech growth leadership. I led go-to-market and growth strategy for LinkedIn's $4B Advertising business, and earlier in my career, advised Fortune 500 clients on operational strategy and organizational effectiveness at Accenture. Having lived in six countries — Mexico, Switzerland, Singapore, China, the U.S., and the U.K. — and worked across industries, I bring strategic rigor and genuine cultural fluency to how I coach. My focus is career and confidence: MBA admissions, consulting and tech recruiting, career pivots, interview and case prep, and the deeper work of building a narrative that actually holds together. I've helped clients land offers at MBB and Big Tech, get into top MBA programs, and navigate transitions across industries. Whatever stage you're at, I'm here to help you get clear on not just what you've done, but where you're headed, how to say it well, and believe in your strengths.

Maryam’s MBA Qualifications
I'm Maryam, an MBA candidate at Wharton (Class of 2026), where I received a merit scholarship. I will be working at BCG in San Francisco after school. Before Wharton, I spent years at LinkedIn and Accenture sitting at the intersection of business strategy and technology, and developing a real conviction that we can get anything we want in this life as long as we have the right people beside us. That belief brings me to coaching! The MBA application process is deeply personal, and the best applications don't just list achievements, they reveal the unique person behind them. I know this process from the inside: what Wharton looks for, how to frame a non-linear story, and how to turn your specific background into a compelling case for why you, now. Whether you're building your school list, thinking about your essays, or preparing for interviews, I'll help you find the through-line in your story and tell it with clarity and confidence.

Why do I coach?
I coach because someone once believed in me before I believed in myself. At nineteen, I was the only intern in my division at Hitachi Rail Europe. My manager put me in rooms and conversations most people my age never see, and treated me like I belonged there. That belief changed how I saw myself, and ultimately shaped my career. He has become my life-long mentor and no surprise, is a candidate for CEO at the company. Ten years later - throughout my path - coaches and mentors, from the most informal to formal conversations, have helped me see the through-line my story when I couldn't. Coaches help connect the dots between who we are and where we are going, while helping instill the confidence to pursue our goals fully. Coaching, to me, is about doing exactly that for others. I would love to help you own who YOU are becoming!
