Must-have

- Communication : crisp emails to senior executives, clean top-down presentation skills
- AI literacy : has used Claude, Cursor, or a terminal already, or is visibly able to ramp in days
- Ownership mindset : joins, plugs in, runs. No 6-month hand-holding window. Ready to add value on day one.
- McKinsey BA/Associate, BCG Consultant/Associate, or Bain Associate Consultant
- Banking or PE then operator (Goldman / Evercore / Morgan Stanley / Lazard analyst pivoting to operator role)
- Technical IC with strong comms (engineer with C-suite-facing communication signal)
- Startup operator: Chief of Staff or BizOps at a high-bar startup
- Non-traditional path is OK if the communication and ownership bars are visibly clear
