Student Consultant

Babson International Consulting ExperienceJan 2023 - Mar 2023 • 3 mosAs a student consultant I facilitated my client's expansion from the E.U. to three states in the U.S., I devised a thorough go-to-market strategy. To fully understand the competitive landscape, I conducted an exhaustive analysis of 15 alternative schools in the U.S., examining crucial factors such as curriculum offerings, teacher qualifications, student outcomes, pricing, marketing strategies, and reputation. This allowed me to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of each competitor. Furthermore, I created a comprehensive pricing strategy for the client's new school, taking into account the necessary break-even point and the desired number of full-ride scholarship grants. To better understand the target customers, I conducted extensive research to develop a detailed consumer persona for both parents and students in the alternative school market across the three states.
