How I get you from military to consulting-ready:

Meet Jake!

I’m Jake - former Army Officer and McKinsey Engagement Manager.I didn’t come from a typical “consulting” background.Comprehensive school.
Average GCSEs.
Dad’s a builder, mum worked in a school office.I had to learn how to think differently - how to break down problems, communicate clearly, and apply the right mindset under pressure.That took me from:The Army’s Sword of Honour
To a fully funded MBA at Warwick
To a promoted role at McKinseyNow I help military professionals do the same - translate their experience, master case interviews, and secure consulting offers.
