Strategy consultant with expertise in GenAI, globalization, and large-scale digital transformations.
ChinaWhat I'm looking for
I am a strategy consultant with hands-on experience driving GenAI product design, digital transformation, and market-entry strategies across fintech, logistics, pharma, and industrial clients. At McKinsey I led cross-functional teams, designed operating models, and scaled experiments to production-ready MVPs.
I blend quantitative rigor and field research: I cleaned and analyzed large survey datasets, built financial models and TCO analyses, and conducted qualitative research and focus groups to inform go-to-market and sustainability programs. My TechnoServe fellowship delivered program designs with measurable household impact and on-the-ground insights from Turkey and India.
I prioritize client impact and operationalization—translating strategy into concrete roadmaps, partnerships, and pilots. I have a strong academic foundation from The University of Chicago and proven leadership running nonprofit programs and large public events.
