Meet Our People
We’re an organisation of individuals cut from different cloths but united by a common purpose – working together with our clients and colleagues to build relationships that last.
That means we come up with the brave answers that set us – and our clients – apart.
When asked, what sets OC&C apart from other strategy consultancies, the most common answer is a group of intelligent, motivated and genuinely fun people which make up the supportive workforce. But, don’t take our word for it – hear what our team has to say.
Hear from our team
''When applying to OC&C, most people focus heavily on preparing for case studies, which is essential. However, it's equally important to be yourself. Be ready to discuss who you are, what you represent, and why you like OC&C. Our teams value personalities and human qualities just as much as intelligence.''
Hiep
Consultant
''Consulting is about fact-based and data-driven decision-making. I came from a background in tech and sales, where things are much more relationship and intuition based. Pairing the analytical toolkit I’ve built and developed at OC&C with my incumbent background has given me a lot more confidence since starting.''
Zack
Consultant
''My journey at OC&C, despite the background of volatile economic environment of COVID and inflation, has given me exposure to a broad range of client work across multiple geographies. It has allowed me to learn new things quickly and collaborate with inspiring young leaders from various offices. The supportive environment at OC&C Warsaw has been particularly helpful in enhancing my overall experience.''
Agnieszka
Manager
''Coming from a liberal arts educational background, I was particularly excited about the multi-disciplinary nature of consulting – all of the qualitative and quantitative pieces of research that need to come together to deliver an exceptional answer to our clients. I was also looking forward to the team working aspect of the job. Across all tenures, every single person has a clear role and opportunity to contribute, and it’s been extremely satisfying to be constantly learning from and working so collaboratively with my colleagues!''
Emily
Manager
''I love being able to learn about the inner workings of industries and companies which make the world tick (and most people don't even think about). Being able to advise CEOs on the direction of their company and support decisions in purchasing multi-million / billion companies is a very rewarding part of the job.''
Vilius
Manager
"I’ve found the OC&C culture an easy one to engage with – everyone from ACs to Ps brings such a positive attitude to the work and (less frequently) to leisure. I’ve had the opportunity to co-lead monthly peer group meetings for senior ACs / Cs, and have more recently gotten involved as the co-lead of Boston FDA, where I’m excited to keep things moving forward with our growing Boston office!"
Andrew
Associate Partner
''When researching consulting firms, it became clear that OC&C was the perfect size – large enough to do meaningful and exciting work, but still personal enough to facilitate quick building of relationships, trust and reputation.''
Aneira
Associate Partner
"Joining a peer group is one of the best and most unique aspects of choosing to work at OC&C. You quickly forge strong friendships with the consultants you join with and end up socialising with them not just at the bi-annual peer group dinners but at weekends and on holidays too."
Jimi
Associate Partner
''I heard someone at college say that consulting is basically smart people hired to solve hard problems. That intrigued me''.
Karl
Associate Partner
"The advice I would give to my younger self (and anyone out there really) is to be brave and adventurous. Go for the things that challenge you and for the things that excite you. And have fun doing those!"
Madlien
Associate Partner
"My favourite project was when I was working for an ecommerce retailer in New York. The key question was in a world where Amazon is so dominant how could they differentiate themselves. The project had a great team, really nice client, interesting question and good work-life balance while spending two months in NYC!"
Michael
Associate Partner
"I have had exposure to a very broad range of industries and business types – and I have learnt how to think critically and write lucidly about complex business models and trends."
Ruth
Associate Partner
"One of the great things about OC&C is the sheer amount of activities and events organised by the company, from large scale ones like the away weekend and international training week to one off trips to comedy clubs and sports events. I’ve enjoyed getting involved in all of these."
Asher
Partner
"My journey has been very linear. I have stayed at OC&C with no breaks for MBA / secondment / startup / soul-searching. After five years as Partner, I moved from London to New York to help drive growth in our US office."
Nic
Partner
"I worked as a strategy consultant at Monitor Group after I got my MA in Economics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the USA."
Veronica
Partner
"Since joining OC&C in London 7 years ago, I have worked across the full range of industry sectors that OC&C offers – from retail and consumer goods to software and hosting – for clients in the UK, Europe, Asia and the US."
Ye
Partner
"I have learnt more than I could have ever imagined whilst being at OC&C on a variety of projects."
Zee
Partner
"The main reasons for my joining OC&C were the firm’s enviable reputation in industries that interest me and the firm’s desire to develop an analytics capability to help create better and more incisive strategy recommendations for our clients."
David
Chief Analytics Officer
''I would encourage anybody applying to OC&C to get stuck in and make the most of all the opportunities available.''
Alex
Global Controller & Head of UK Finance
''I find a lot of joy in being a person that other people can rely on for guidance or answers. I very much like feeling a part of individual successes as well as exciting growth for the team as a whole.''
Griffin
US Talent Manager
“My favourite thing at OC&C is that I have the opportunity to create meaningful change through my work and see the direct impact of my contributions on the company’s operations. Additionally, the positive atmosphere at OC&C allows me to be myself and feel truly valued. I have met great people here whom I value both professionally and personally, and I enjoy working and spending time with them at the office.“
Joanna
Business Systems Analyst
''What I enjoy most about my role is the people and the opportunities to learn. I have had the chance to be involved in a lot of initiatives and training over my time at OC&C.''
Sarah
Senior PA
''One of my favourite experiences in my global position at OC&C is gaining a holistic perspective every day and collaborating with people across multiple departments and offices. This day-to-day work has broadened my strategic thinking and highlighted the importance of a global perspective in delivering impactful commercial finance solutions and ensuring the accuracy of financial data.”
Sławek
Global FP&A Senior Manager
''With projects generally lasting 3 – 8 weeks, there is plenty of variety in the role and also an opportunity to learn and grow.''
