What is your background pre-Bain? And what is your current role at Bain and how long have you been here?

After graduating with a degree in Land Economy from Cambridge, I completed my accountancy training as an auditor at a Big Four firm. I have now been at Bain for a year, and am an Associate Consultant.

How would you describe your role at Bain? What have been your most memorable case experiences? What are the results (client-related as well as internal) of which you are most proud?

I would describe my role at Bain as challenging, varied and fun!

A large part of the case experience is shaped by the team you work with - I have definitely had the pleasure of working on great teams! We have worked hard together to achieve the best results we can for our clients, but through this, I have not only learnt a huge amount but also found real friends and mentors.

I think the most satisfying part of this job is when you see real changes (however small they are) occurring at your client as a result of work in which you have directly been involved. One of these moments for me was when I had been involved in building a pricing model for our client - a couple of months later when I was catching up them, they made a point of telling me how much they were using it and how useful it had become. It was a very rewarding moment!

Finally, tell us three interesting facts about yourself/ your interests outside of work.

I now enjoy a variety of other sports including skiing and tennis
