Aurobind focuses on helping firms redefine their strategy and operations to drive higher bottom-line results and faster growth. He works frequently with clients in the automotive and assembly industry as well as the health-care and private-equity sectors.

knowledge-development efforts. He has worked in several locations, including Brussels, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, where, while leading the office, he spearheaded a pro bono effort to consolidate several economic-development organizations, which led to the formation of the Downtown Detroit Partnership.
