Partner, London

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

Before Bain, I was a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the US and Asia. I've been at Bain since August 2000 (with time in our San Francisco, New York and Chicago offices). I am now a Partner in the Financial Services and Consumer Products practices in London. In addition, I lead consultant recruiting and the Women@Bain programme for the London office.

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?

As a Partner, I'm an owner of the business.

I have worked on a huge variety of client cases, from post acq blueprint work for a snowmobile manufacturer to bidding for a retail credit card portfolio. The best cases are usually a combination of a great team (both internal and client) and great results.

Internally, I'm very proud of leading the diversity efforts in Chicago (including Women@Bain and our Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian group) and hiring some terrific people in London.

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

I have two kids, a husband and a dog. Not always in that order.
