Jordana is a former member of the Admissions Committee at London Business School (LBS) and was the LBS EMBA Program Director in Dubai.
During her nearly 7-year tenure at LBS, Jordana read and evaluated countless applications and interviewed EMBA, MBA and Sloan Program candidates from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds. She also supported the Admissions team with marketing and outreach efforts focused on increasing diversity and attracting top applicants to all LBS programs in Dubai and London.
Jordana holds a B.A. from Rollins College, an M.A. in Nonprofit Management from the University of Central Florida and an MBA from China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). After many years managing and growing language schools as part of her family business, she changed gears and joined higher education in Dubai in 2011. Jordana has especially enjoyed supporting candidates who showed initiative and worked hard to achieve their goals through and after their MBA programs.
An Argentine and American citizen, Jordana has lived in 10 countries and can’t pick a favorite among them. In her free time (of which there isn’t much due to her two young, lovely children), she loves to read, cook, and discover new places.
The trailblazer in MBA admissions consulting is the team at Stacy Blackman Consulting (SBC). No other firm has demonstrated not only staying power for over two decades but also built a top-tier team of consultants with bios that would impress even the most discerning MBA applicant. Their real-world MBA admissions committee expertise enables SBC consultants to assess client applications with the seasoned insight of those who’ve served on the admissions teams at the world’s most competitive schools. The firm proudly boasts over two dozen former admissions committee members from every top MBA program, the highest number of any firm, as Poets&Quants highlighted in, Bragging Rights: This MBA Admissions Consulting Firm Boasts The Most Former M7 Adcoms. SBC’s online track record includes being ranked as the #1 MBA admissions firm on MBAinsight, ClearAdmit, CollegeConsensus, ExamStrategist, and BeattheGMAT.
The SBC All-In Service
The majority of our clients choose our All-In package because they understand that the competitive admissions process demands a stellar and strategic application at every level. Essays, interviews, school visits, recommendation letters, and resumes are all guided by an integrated strategy, managed through our All-In service by one dedicated and accountable consultant.
SBC’s All-In Service includes 8 modules:
1) The SBC System™ begins with meticulous matchmaking before we begin an engagement or accept payment.
2) Personal Assessment & Critical Reflection. Your primary consultant will work to understand you authentically along multiple dimensions and create a strategy reflecting what MBA programs are looking for. Your consultant will dig into the who, what, how and why that forms your story through our 360° Personal Orbit ™.
3) We’ll develop a winning personal MBA Application Strategy that answers clearly, “Why should I accept this applicant over the other ones who look equally qualified on paper?”
4) Personal branding is crucial for making your MBA application stand out, and admissions teams love a well-crafted story. Your consultant will help you develop a compelling and cohesive narrative that ties together every aspect of your application—resume, essays, recommendations, and more—tailored to meet each school’s unique expectations.
5) Your success is driven by a collaborative SBC team effort. Your primary consultant taps into a network of former admissions officers and experts for additional insights and you receive exclusive access to The Vault, a comprehensive resource center with decades of application materials.
6) Before submitting your MBA application, ensure it’s flawless with our Flight Test™, where a former admissions officer reviews your entire package with fresh eyes.
7) Take the stress out of interviewing with one-on-one prep with your primary consultant and group prep sessions led by former admissions officers.
8) Our support doesn’t stop once your application is submitted; we continue to assist you in navigating admissions decisions, waitlists, and deferral letters until you accept an offer.
Hourly First Services
Start with 2-3 hours of initial strategy work à la carte to test the waters, and then you can upgrade to an All-In package.

I had worked with another consultant prior to Jordana and it just didn’t work out. Hence, I was reluctant to work with a consultant again. Additionally, I only had three weeks until the deadline, so time was in short supply. In hindsight, there was never a reason to be worried. Beyond vast information, Jordana provided deep insights into what I had to offer and how to communicate that in my application. She made me understand the perspective of the adcom and that has made a tremendous difference in my application. I deeply respect her for what she has done for me and I have no doubt she is going to continue to be of tremendous help to future applicants – especially those who are struggling.
I reached out to Stacy Blackman’s firm after I got a 710 on the GMAT and realized my dream of going to a top international b-school could be a reality. I had done my research, had some schools in mind, had essay topics ready to go, I just didn’t have anyone in my life to verify if I was on the right track. That’s where Jordana came in. I got 2 hours with her where she listened to my background, helped me highlight the right stories, verified my school list, and reviewed my essays as I wrote them and it made me feel so much more confident going into the process. I was able to get into Cambridge and IESE and will be attending IESE next year.
Jordana was an excellent advisor. She was very diligent and gave very important input for my essays and also provided support beyond. She was responsive and organized and I trusted her advise. She helped me get accepted into one of the top EMBA programs globally. I would certainly recommend her.
During the past couple of months, I have had the pleasure to work with Jordana. Her support and feedback while guiding me through the application process has been beyond compare. Oxford has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and I cannot thank her enough for all the help she has given me! Of course, this is only a small thank you note, but for anyone looking to apply for an MBA and in search of an excellent consultant to guide them through the process, Jordana is the best you can find.
