Olivier Vidal lives on a houseboat in London. But that’s not the most interesting thing about him. The entrepreneur, who occasionally lectures at IE Business School, runs a career consultancy – and wants to hire three MBA interns.

Go.Show.Do offers a raft of career services, including CV reviews and career-change strategies. Prices range from £109 to £599 for more structured packages. Olivier thinks the idea of helping people is exciting – and his platform aims to allow people to help others.

How big is the company? 

It’s just me. But you have to start somewhere, right?

Which sector do you operate in?

We fit in somewhere between business education, personal development and tutoring. It’s coaching with a very specific purpose.

What does the business do and what are your core or flagship products?

We teach people how to sell and market themselves in a way that resonates with employers. We know that most people don't get their potential across to employers, and we know that part of the recruitment system is really set up to help people do that – from recent graduates to executive level. Our work is most helpful for more ‘geeky’ and quantitative people.

We're in the process of building partnerships with professional associations, universities and employers. We want to create a king of franchise business, which helps ex-accountants help accountants, and so on.

Who is the founder/CEO?

I am the founder of Go.Show.Do.

I used to work in executive search, strategy and elite sports coaching. I read politics at Exeter, am a charity trustee and I also lecture a bit for IE Business School. This is my second start-up venture. I also live on houseboat in London.

How was the company founded?

I initially wanted to set up outside of London, so I moved to Cornwall which has a number of pro-start-up initiatives. Unfortunately it's only by leaving London that you realise you're a Londoner. So I had a false start.

Which regions are covered?

The business is based on remote meetings, not face-to-face meetings. So far we've worked with MBAs and CAs from Bermuda, Canada, Hong Kong, the Philippines and of course London.

Number of current MBAs at the company?

None. I don't think my brain's cut out for a good GMAT score.

Types of MBA jobs available? 

Currently I'm looking for three interns, and an MBA with a background in marketing or finance would be a great fit for two of those positions. They will be required to look at financial projections and pricing. The third position will focus on winning clients, and building the brand.

Who should someone contact if they’re interested in working for your company?

Me. I'm pretty friendly and open to working with anyone who'd like the see the idea work. I don't know it all.

Something interesting about the company in your own words! 

I've always been interested in politics, society and business overlapping. So the idea of delivering a service that helps people is very exciting.

I guess it’s a reaction to the fact that government and institutional advice is normally way behind the times.
