Background:
New College, University of Oxford
Consultant at The Foundation (Strategic innovation firm based in London)
Favorite Project:
Development of a market entry strategy for a leading Australian financial services provider. This three month project based in Sydney was a fantastic chance to analyse an emerging market and create strategic options for the client - the perfect strategy project. Our team of three worked from the client’s office and I led two of the workstreams that helped us build an understanding of the market, its future and the potential rewards that our client could realise. Aside from the opportunity to live in such a wonderful city and travel at the weekends, I loved the excitement and pressure that came from having to rapidly understand a developing market and create recommendations for a senior client team.
Why Booz & Company:
When I applied to Booz & Company I was looking for diverse opportunities - the chance to work across different industries, in a range of geographies and to work with and learn from different teams of people. I have enjoyed realising this goal thus far and have also been able to make some close friends throughout the process.
Beyond Booz & Company:
When I’m not working I love to play sport and often go to the gym, run, swim or play squash during the week. I also enjoy challenges in my leisure time and recently completed the London Marathon. On the weekends I like to catch up with friends over coffee or dinner, and often enjoy trips to the theatre.
