Harold Simansky

Senior MBA Admissions Consultant

Entrepreneur, private equity and venture capital veteran, and MIT Sloan MBA turned “life-changing” consultant with stellar Poets&Quants reviews

How I Can Help You

I help clients create order out of chaos. I work with them to address their weaknesses (everyone has something) and take even the messiest life stories and transform them into linear narratives that get them accepted to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and many other elite MBA programs. I push my clients hard to create great stories—and get great results.

Why Choose Me

My track record of exclusively five-star client ratings shows that I am an outstanding consultant. I listen hard, question deeply, and help my candidates craft unique stories that only they can tell.

I am a graduate of MIT Sloan, worked for Bain & Company, and have been a founder or cofounder of start-ups in tech, media, sustainability, finance, and several other areas. I am also a real estate developer who has built sustainable buildings. My private equity experience includes work with Bain’s Private Equity Group and TEM Capital, where I focused on green construction methods.
