Work With Me
At Ivy Groupe, I believe your MBA application should reflect who you are – not just what you’ve done. Because for even the most accomplished MBA applicants, that’s often the hardest part.
I'm guided by the belief that authenticity is your most powerful differentiator in the MBA admissions process. Every applicant has a unique story – my role is to help you uncover it, shape it, and tell it with clarity, depth, and purpose.
-
If you want to stand out in your MBA application, you need to be true to yourself. What you have gone through in your life – in school, personally, at the workplace – is what makes you YOU. There is no other person in this world who has walked in your shoes, had your exact experiences, and seen the world from your eyes. MBA Admissions Committees want to understand the living person beyond the two-dimensional application.
-
If you want to differentiate yourself, you need to approach the MBA application process with your heart. Business school applications are really more about the why than the what. What will really set your MBA essays and applications apart is providing color on why something has been instrumental in shaping you or why something means so much to you.
-
If you want to be memorable, the human element must come through. Business schools want a diverse class of students who are able to deeply reflect upon and share their experiences with their classmates and the broader community. By being authentic, you will show that you are human and demonstrate how you will be able to uniquely contribute to MBA programs worldwide.
This philosophy has helped hundreds of my clients gain admission to the world’s most selective MBA programs – including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, M7, and beyond.
Below are the ways to work with me. Book a consultation to assess your candidacy and explore whether this is the right fit.

MBA STORY & POSITIONING STRATEGY
Before you write a single word of your MBA application, you need to know what you're actually saying.
Most MBA candidates start drafting too early – without a clear sense of what differentiates them, what connects their past to their future, or what thread runs through their story. The result is MBA essays that are well-written but somehow unconvincing.
This engagement fixes that.
In a single, focused session – built around structured pre-work you'll complete in advance – we cut through the noise and get to the core of your MBA story. What actually differentiates you. What the throughline is. What your defining themes are. How your past decisions connect to your future MBA goals.
You'll leave with a clear MBA positioning strategy and the confidence to start drafting from a place of clarity rather than uncertainty.
This is a strategic engagement only. It does not include MBA essay editing or execution support.
This engagement can serve as a natural starting point for both the Comprehensive Engagement and Hourly Engagement. If you choose to move forward with the Comprehensive Engagement, the $1,500 investment is credited in full toward that package.

PRE-MBA PROFILE STRATEGY
If you're serious about a top MBA progam but not yet ready to apply, this is where the real work begins.
Most MBA candidates wait until the application cycle to think about their story. The strongest ones start earlier – with clarity on where they're going, an honest assessment of their MBA profile, and a plan to close the gaps
Ivy Groupe's Pre-MBA Profile Strategy is a private, 8-session MBA coaching engagement designed to do exactly that.
Each session is 45 minutes and built around you – not generic frameworks, but a direct application of proven MBA admissions approaches to your specific background, goals, and gaps. You'll leave each session with something concrete to act on.
By the end, you'll have:
A clear MBA narrative and positioning strategy, an honest picture of where your MBA profile stands and how to strengthen it, and the confidence of knowing you're building toward your MBA application intentionally – not scrambling when the cycle opens.
