Karthik Ramachandran
Karthik spent seven years at BCG across two stints, working his way from Associate to Project Leader with a focus on consumer and retail. Between stints, he earned his MBA at Wharton as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of his class) and held roles at Mondelez (M&A), Meta (product marketing), and Kimberly-Clark (corporate strategy). He's now Director of Finance at Catalyst Brands, leading value capture across a multi-brand integration.
He's also one of the most active consulting coaches in the country, named a Top 10 Management Consulting Coach on Leland in both 2025 and 2026, with over 200 mentees coached. The majority received offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, Oliver Wyman, and Strategy&.
Karthik's biggest strength is helping you figure out which direction to go. If you're the kind of person who keeps applying to everything because you can't narrow it down, he'll help you use your case experience, priorities, and constraints to pick the right sandbox and go all in. Direct, structured, no fluff.
