Strong drive for results combined with solid business judgment to ensure recommendations can be executed successfully and that risks are managed

Extract insights from analysis, formulate pragmatic recommendations, and socialize and pressure-test them with key stakeholders and subject matter experts

Develop clear, compelling presentations to share findings and recommendations with a senior-level audience

Support M&A efforts as needed, from diligence and integration through to combined strategy development and value realization
