I always had an interest in technology. While in undergrad, I developed software based learning tools and founded a casual gaming startup. After graduation, I became a consultant at a global management consulting firm where I enjoyed the intellectual rigor and face paced work environment that comes with the role. Although I loved being a consultant, I found that I was often placed on projects that had little or no connection to technology. I yearned to find a place where I combine my love of consulting with my passion for technology. While at HBS, I learned about Keystone and got really excited about the opportunity to work on cutting edge strategy cases for the top companies in the technology space.
During my time at Keystone, I worked on a variety of exciting technology projects including work related to Online Services Marketing, Software Development, Open Innovation Strategy, and Ecosystem Analysis. As a Consultant, my role was to work with both Keystone and client project leadership to design and execute work streams. Because of Keystone's smaller size I took on more responsibility and generated greater impact for both Keystone and our clients than I had at my previous consulting firm. For instance, during my second project at Keystone, I played an integral role in selling the project to an important new client. Once on the project, we presented to the Chief Marketing Officer of one of the world's largest firms. That was a very cool experience.
