  • Why Bain?

    The people reminded me of the people I enjoyed spending time with in college.  They had a diverse set of interests, where clearly competitive and high achieving, but somehow remained balanced and down-to-earth.  It was a rare, refreshing mix.

  • My passion

    At Bain: Coaching and mentoring the people on my teams.  I like to see the people I work with grow and develop new skills.  My goal is for every member of the team to learn more than just case content.  I want them all to excel at the job and have fun stepping up to new challenges

    Outside of Bain: I am a "serious amateur photographer".  I shoot all kinds of street, concerts, festival, and hip-hop photos.  I often take advantage of business trips to spend a night wandering or a few extra hours on the front/back-end to explore with my camera and capturing the sights.  

  • My favorite case

    Working for a large healthcare clinic company to improve their operations.  The case was tremendously challenging because they have a very talented team.  In the end, we were able to find a massive opportunity that will potentially transform the way the company does business.  Being a part of a business transformation is a unique opportunity, and I've been blessed to be a part of several during my career.

  • My personal results story

    During a recent case with a multi-billion dollar pharma/device company, I worked side-by-side with the CFO to redesign his entire global organization.  We changed the organization and the core processes to improve their efficiency and their overall effectiveness.  It was a great experience to work with an executive that needed and wanted our help and build friendships with him and his senior team as we made a lot of tough decisions.  In the end, they are a leaner, more effective organization as a result of our collaboration.

  • My perspective on diversity

    In addition to very visible success diversifying our consulting team, Bain is a unique culture that has a massively diverse team.  While we are all similar in some ways (e.g. we like to work hard, we laugh at work, we're competitive, we try new things), we also have a team with a huge array of interests and goals.  As I've gotten to know hundreds of Bainies over the years, I can honestly say that we are among the most diverse groups of people I've ever seen.

  • A final thought

    Bain has been a great place to build a career.  Every day presents new challenges and opportunities to grow.  In the end, I haven't even heard of a place that offered a better combination of great people, great work, and great rewards.
