After 12 years in industry, I was looking for a new challenge. That’s when I found McKinsey Implementation, where I get the perfect opportunity to leverage my previous experience to solve tough business challenges. The variety of my work keeps me engaged.

Recently, I helped a forestry client resolve water management issues in their 600,000 hectacre plantation. I traveled by boat, car, helicopter, and plane in my daily work. It was physically demanding and professionally very satisfying to contribute in a big way to environmental causes in addition to solving business issues.
On another recent engagement, I helped a leading cement company through a manufacturing transformation. Together, we identified and delivered cost savings worth 10% of EBITDA. One of our clients told my team we solved in four weeks what they struggled to solve in 10 years. That’s what we all work for – making a big difference.
