I joined Keystone to work with a diverse group of talented people. I wanted the opportunity to learn from experienced consultants and also have the chance to interact with the Professors.  Keystone exceeded my expectations with respect to intellectual challenges and client exposure, and was one of the brightest groups of people I’ve been around.  As I was promoted from Analyst to Consultant, my projects required skills ranging from hard-core data mining to story-line development and client relationship building.  I worked with team members in all of our offices, and traveled to client sites around the globe including Washington, DC, New York, Seattle, Texas and Switzerland. Perhaps because of the relatively small size and rapid growth rate of the firm, my input was noted and valued throughout the firm, including by the CEO. 

My time at Keystone exposed me to a wide range of industries, including technology, pharma, IT and CPG.  In addition I gained a solid foundation and general confidence on how to attack unique and challenging problems.  Finally, the broad knowledge base of general tech trends and business problems prepared me for my role at Microsoft.
