- I've been building models and teaching excel for the better part of a decade: I learned the science and artistry of Excel problem-solving while at McKinsey and Google, and was consistently recognized for both my ability to analyze business problems as well as my ability to teach others in the firm. I covered a range of industries and functions, gaining experience in global supply chain, route-to-market, organizational design and national education system turnaround strategy.
- I am an experienced technology strategist: While at Google, I continued to refine and apply my excel modeling approach within Google's Business Operations and Strategy team (Bizops). I worked on a diverse range of strategy problems including local shopping, digital offers and coupons, display ads, digital media and online privacy strategy.
- I am a published author: Frustrated by the sad state of job applications and resumes experienced firsthand through various recruiting activities at McKinsey and Google, I wrote and published a book “Stand out, fit in, get hired." in order to help candidates better think through how to position themselves for roles to which they are applying.
