Favourite Project:
My favourite project was working for an alcoholic beverages client across Asia. We were assisting with a growth strategy in response to a merger in the sector. My role was to work on the duty free stream, flying across Asia to assess opportunities in Asian duty free markets. The project opened my eyes to the diversity of people and cultures across Asia, enabling me to work with people from differing backgrounds and explore numerous countries on my weekends off.
Why Booz & Company:
The thing I enjoy most at Booz is the variety of both people and projects. Our diverse backgrounds mean that you are learning from people who are different from yourself and have varied experiences and points of view, extending the thinking of the team and the office. Everyone is an expert at what they do or have done and strives to constantly develop and improve. The variety of projects also means that you are constantly learning about new industries and functions. You will never get bored when working on a Booz project.
Beyond Booz & Company:
I enjoy playing tennis and have played for my club, MCC, since joining the firm. Booz also introduced me to triathlons in 2004 and I’ve been doing them ever since.
