助理顾问

I studied Chemical Engineering, with a specialization in Biomedical Engineering, at the University of California, Los Angeles. I then attended Columbia University for my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. After graduating, I worked as a full-time intern at a financial research company, before joining OC&C as an Associate Consultant.

As an associate consultant, much of my time is spent conducting research and performing analysis. One of the most interesting projects I've worked on was a retail strategy project for a US museum. We worked closely with the merchandising team to help determine a full strategy on re-vamping their current retail structure. After two months of scrutinizing their retail channel structure and store performance, we produced a detailed roadmap of recommendations – and I have been fortunate enough to witness the implementation of a number of them!

Working at OC&C has been really enjoyable, mostly because there is a very collegial feel within the company. Everyone is vibrant, engaging and relaxed. At the same time, the high caliber of employees provides for a dynamic yet challenging environment. Each of my colleagues represents a potential wealth of information, and the international culture of OC&C in the heart of New York City provides the best of both worlds.

I started with OC&C in fall 2007 after graduating from UPenn. I wanted a job where I could apply my interest in the industry, but I also wanted an intellectually rigorous environment in which to acquire a broader spectrum of skills and knowledge.

I was extremely impressed with OC&C’s retail experience as well as its considerable international presence. In fact, I worked for four months out of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which was very exciting for me. Living and working in the UAE taught me so much about business in a newly- booming economy and the myriad cultures that make up the city.

If you’ve been looking into consulting, I’m sure you know that your day-to-day schedule varies so much! That said, a lot of what an AC is responsible for consists of industry research.

Everyone I work closely with has an interesting story to tell – ex-professional athletes, recorded rock musicians, authors, Guitar Hero addicts. Such a diversity of perspectives contributes to the quality of our work and makes the workday something to look forward to.

I joined OC&C after a specialization in marketing at HEC. I had interviews in several consulting firms and I naturally chose OC&C: the people I met there talk of their job at OC&C with enthusiasm, with humility, and they convey a strong attachment to their firm, all of which I did not feel in other firms.

An Associate Consultant at OC&C is highly involved from the first project on in building the messages that will be given to the client. The team meetings every week gather all the members of a project and Partners are keen to hear the ideas of young consultants. Learning to share one's work and ideas (even when it goes against general thinking) represents a great opportunity to improve faster and enables to give value to daily work.

 I studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge and then went on to complete a PhD in Organic Chemistry.  I wasn't 100% sure what route to follow at the end of my PhD, so followed the typical science conveyor belt and moved to the US (Stanford) to do a post-doc in Medicinal Chemistry.  At the end of my post-doc I was offered the chance to work with a start-up biotech in Singapore – I was super excited about the possibility of living in Asia and jumped at the chance!  However I always had a nagging voice in my head telling me I didn't want to spend my life in front of a fume-hood so I took the plunge and switched to the exciting world of strategy consulting!

Projects are relatively short at OC&C so you will gain insight into multiple industries and get to work with a wide variety of people within months of joining.  As a result, you are constantly learning and will be thoroughly stretched from day one.  The strong sense of teamwork means that navigating these challenges is always a collaborative process and generally lots of fun.

OC&C is full of smart and interesting people with great wit and banter. It's the combination of interesting, challenging work and the super people that make working at OC&C so great and mean I have never regretted my career switch.
