Why did you choose consulting? And why at Bain?

Consulting provides new graduates with the opportunity to work with diverse teams on a variety of interesting and challenging problems for the most high-profile and influential companies. The accelerated learning environment, the laughs, the enduring friendships and generous mentors have made for a memorable and incredible start to my career.

I chose Bain because the culture is unparalleled. There is a concerted effort made to ensure every individual is valued and supported in their own career journey. The strong apprenticeship support model has enabled me to learn deeply, share knowledge and gain new skills and perspectives.

Tell us about your journey since joining us.

Since joining Bain, I have worked on a variety of interesting problems across a number of industries. I have found myself in corporate offices, as well as remote mine sites, collaborating with clients across four continents, and Bain teams on the other side of the world.

My past case experience includes work on the long-term growth strategy of a world leading healthcare provider, and the customer and brand strategy in the consumer products and retail space. Notably over the past year, I have supported a global gold producer in the transformation of their technical services group.
