Cassandra Pittman brings a rare blend of global admissions experience, certified coaching expertise, and narrative intuition to her work with Fortuna clients. A graduate of Columbia Business School and a former member of the admissions teams at both INSEAD and London Business School, Cassandra has a deep understanding of what top-tier programs – both US and international – look for in candidates.

Her career spans management consulting, leadership coaching, and business education, and she’s known for her ability to help clients uncover the most compelling and authentic version of their story. Cassandra’s coaching is both strategic and heartfelt – focused on clarity, confidence, and crafting applications that reflect her clients’ most powerful attributes.

Originally from California and now a long-time Londoner, Cassandra holds a certificate in coaching and brings warmth, curiosity, and insight to every session. She’s helped applicants gain admission to the world’s top MBA programs and is passionate about helping leaders realize their full potential.

Outside of work, Cassandra is the friend you call for a pep talk, an air miles hack, or a last-minute dinner spot in any major city. She once got upgraded to Meghan Markle’s maternity suite thanks to a perfectly timed shower leak. These days, she spends her time parenting her suit-wearing, spy-aspiring six-year-old, listening to podcasts, and absolutely not doing yoga.
