BriefcaseExperience
2023-Present: Apstelios, Managing Partner, Los Angeles, CA 2024-Present: Nupt.AI, Chief Operating Officer, Los Angeles, CA 2017-2023: BCG, Senior Manager || Accenture, Strategy & Consulting, Los Angeles, CA 2014-2016: Goldman Sachs, Analyst, New York, NY

I bring over two decades of leadership experience spanning top-tier management consulting (BCG, Accenture), elite banking (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley), and high-stakes government projects (including NATO and military partnerships). My expertise centers on driving change management, corporate strategy, complex program delivery, and financial transformation. What sets me apart is my ability to craft highly personalized, strategic roadmaps that elevate candidates' strengths and unlock hidden potential.

As a coach, I am dedicated to empowering and guiding individuals from underrepresented and underserved communities - those who, like me, have to navigate systems not designed for their success. My mission is to be the mentor I never had, turning my experiences into a bridge for others to cross toward success.

Audrey · Chief of staff
Interview coaching · Behavioral mock interview
James is phenomenal interview coach! He really goes above and beyond to prepare for each coaching session. If you have a specific company you're interviewing with, he'll make sure he does his research and tailor cases to work through realistic business problems those companies might be facing. If there is a specific skill or competency your interviewers are testing for, he'll extrapolate multiple questions to pressure-test your situational answer bank. He was also a great sounding board for questions to ask interviewers at the end of an interview. Thanks for rooting for me and helping to rebuild my confidence in interviewing! Book your sessions with James -- you won't regret it!

James went above and beyond in all sessions. He helped me see my strengths and areas where I could improve but made sure to keep everything very positive and the feedback actionable. James also followed up to see how things were going and wanted to stay in the loop as I progressed in my interviews.
