What inspired you to pursue a career in consulting?

The dynamic and fast-paced nature of the work.

How was your experience during the recruitment and enrolment process at OC&C?

Pretty seamless as I have been working with the local partnership for several years and know them well; since integrating with the global OC&C network, everybody has been very welcoming and helpful as well.

What do you love most about your job and the impact you make?

Working with high performing teams solving complex strategic issues, and seeing our recommendations getting implemented / adopted by clients—particularly when it leads to a successful transaction or market entry.

Could you provide insights into the type of work you handle or share a glimpse of a typical day in your role?

I primarily focus on Consumer, Retail & Leisure projects with a mix of corporate and PE clients. A typical day is divided between Project Delivery and Firm Building. On the project delivery side, it includes project meetings where we work through problem-solving, review deliverables, stress-test and socialise findings with key client stakeholders; on the firm building side, it’s thinking through questions that business leaders care most about and building thought leadership around those topics, supporting the firm’s growth initiatives through recruitment and training, mentorship of junior consultants, and other professional and business development activities.

What aspects of OC&C life do you cherish the most?

I really enjoy the people I work with—everybody comes from such diverse backgrounds but are equally smart, nice, and interesting.

What are your aspirations for your future career?

To continue building long-term relationships with clients in the Consumer and Retail sector, and becoming an “expert” in the Australian Health & Beauty space in particular.
