Yeah. Thank you for the opportunity for this. I greatly appreciate talking to the students through you through your medium, Andre in terms off how I got to where I am today, I think art, if it is also happen stance. It's not that I had planned for this 15 or 20 years ago. But along the way, I did keep on building the skills as to whatever was relevant to the market on a part off. That certainly contributed to wear where I am, which is right now. Currently, I'm a managing director, a management consulting firm s o I. A work in the digital and later said with this practice that I started my career with in telecommunications on somewhere along the way, I paid a purpose off knowledge within the product space as Faras Telecom goes on later on, After a few years off that experience, I made a career switch more to the concerned inside of the house because I thought it would be good for me to get some customer front ending experience, understand the challenges and apply some off my deep domain expertise. So I bank into ah, some water for a Jason Field which waas like a customer experience practice, which used some off the telecom knowledge in by working in this product company. But the job was more on the consulting side, off the house in world, a lot off travel. The company later on went on to become Cap Gemini, so I was there for a few years, and along the way my knowledge of telecom certainly help. But at the same time, it also gave me an opportunity to work with clients directly, understand the challenges Onda mark solutions to the challenges on guy. Also, learn some I just India's during that time, which was essentially analytics, particularly as it related to customers or consumers are work our view in the context of a on back senator. So I added that to my portfolio. That way I would become broader on die. Let to me that that led me to a large consulting firm were in after a few years off doing that, I brought in my knowledge in the analytic space beyond customer analytics. So I think mine my sharp story that is, don't be afraid of change. Onda, long of a augment your skills with new things, sometimes people are afraid off going into an entirely new area from what? Deborah. So my suggestion would be to see if there is an adjustment. 80 other pupils step Indo and continue that process. So that way you have knowledge about quite a few things. Uh, that you require and it's not that intimidating and you keep yourself. I love it.
so in terms off responsibilities that I haven't Ah, job like mine. Obviously, I have. I have multiple hearts responsible for the clients. Uh, in comes off the another part off that is the talk leadership, the mentorship off other resources, learning the best off the breed in terms off at the field that we are in in terms off the weekly work hours. I wouldn't certainly I wouldn't call it a mind off my job site. In fact, I think you cannot qualify a job like that. It's more about the work absent flows, right? Like there are situations where there were quite a lot that might be a few situations where things are a little bit slow. Um, is time spend on proper less such these days? It is pretty much, you know, given the circumstances are before that it waas. It was primarily a travel diaper for Monday to Thursday travel kind off a job on. We also had the flexibility toe work from whom when you are not public
absolutely so. Challenges in a job like mine are Obviously clients are your bread and butter, right? So you have to articulate the value that you provide to the climbs on. Sometimes you have to justify the price Vizzavi in the value. So I think it's very important to articulate that value, which is not the easiest job and justify the price that you sort of place on that value. S. O. I think that those are some off the challenges that one will face in a consulting career such as upwards of what is the fact of water? The approaches that are a factor when dealing with the challenges would be not so much, uh, the solution in peace, which is always there at the back end, but going to understand from the plan as toe water, the burning issues, what keeps them awake at night and then trying to cater a solution, the type, then obviously things will resonate with them much more fun that way. I think that those are some off the things that I experienced come beat on value. I think that will certainly help and learn how to articulate that value and solution against that value
