Donald’s AI For Product Development Qualifications
Experience level: Director
Coming from a non-technical background, I taught myself AI through hands-on experimentation, “vibecoding” functional prototypes, and staying on top of the latest tools and developments. I understand exactly how to make this technology accessible, practical, and impactful for anyone. I've advised Fortune 500 companies, startups, and research institutions on using AI to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and launch entirely new products. My work spans AI strategy, product development, and automation, always with a focus on turning cutting-edge capabilities into real-world results.

About Donald
Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, I bring experience in strategic consulting and AI product management. At Ergo, I launched the company's first AI consulting practice and advised 75+ C-suite executive teams on high-stakes geopolitical scenarios. Outside of school, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and rooting for New York sports teams.
Why do I coach?
I am passionate about helping candidates with their MBA applications, especially those with non-traditional backgrounds. I received coaching during my own application process, and it completely changed how I viewed my story. Coming from NGOs, academia, and geopolitical consulting, I initially worried my background didn't fit the MBA mold. Having a coach in my corner helped me realize that what felt like weaknesses were actually my biggest strengths. I'd love to help you build a compelling application that gets you into your dream school!
