Business Strategist | 10+ Management Consulting and Market Research Projects | Ex KPMG, EY, Viacom18 Strategy Intern
I am an aspiring consultant with 6 strategy internships at places like KPMG and Viacom18, 10 pro-bono consulting projects, 2 campus leadership roles, and, most importantly, 1 dog. As a generalist, I have worked on strategic projects (such as global market entry to raise USD 30mn for a healthcare startup) and performance improvement projects (such as supply chain digital transformation to reduce invoice cycle time by 60% for a consumer goods social enterprise). I am proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, Python, Tableau, Power BI, SQL, Visio, and Trello. I believe that such technical competencies are vital for management roles too. My most recent techno-managerial internship was in the corporate strategy role at Viacom18, where I devised a data strategy for the Sports Business Unit and developed an OTT dashboard for senior management and CXOs. On a personal note, I am always open to exploring new places, love watching football and will beat you in any video game ;) I am now seeking challenging and rewarding strategy projects here. I wish to work with highly enthusiastic people to solve the toughest business problems.
