Strategy Consultant Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, triangulated a market estimate from company filings, customer interviews and competitor disclosures; stress-tested adoption and pricing assumptions before drafting the recommendation.
- The team combined market research, competitive analysis, and customer insight for a B2B software provider considering expansion from enterprise accounts into the mid-market; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team recommended a partner-led pilot after comparing acquisition cost, implementation capacity, and payback assumptions across three entry options; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team developed go-to-market strategies and a strategic planning model for the software client, using data analytics on renewal cohorts and channel economics; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team gave the steering committee an investment recommendation with downside sensitivity, decision gates, and named owners instead of a single unsupported revenue forecast; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, owned a market-research workstream using customer insight and competitive analysis, resolved inconsistent market definitions and completed the business-strategy recommendation.
- Under supervision, published a business-performance model using data analytics and sensitivity tests, reduced review recalculation from 3 hours to 50 minutes and separated assumptions from sourced facts.

B2B software market-entry investment case

Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, combined market research, competitive analysis, and customer insight for a B2B software provider considering expansion from enterprise accounts into the mid-market; recommended a partner-led pilot after comparing acquisition cost, implementation capacity, and payback assumptions across three entry options.
- As a second supervised exercise, developed go-to-market strategies and a strategic planning model for the software client, using data analytics on renewal cohorts and channel economics; gave the steering committee an investment recommendation with downside sensitivity, decision gates, and named owners instead of a single unsupported revenue forecast.
- In a mentor-reviewed business strategy simulation, prepared market research and competitive analysis to compare direct and partner-led entry for a fictional software client using public filings; coded practice interviews into customer insight themes and labeled unsupported assumptions before the case review.
- In the same mentor-reviewed simulation, developed go-to-market strategies and a strategic planning model for the software client, using data analytics on renewal cohorts and channel economics; gave the steering committee an investment recommendation with downside sensitivity, decision gates, and named owners instead of a single unsupported revenue forecast.
- In the same mentor-reviewed simulation, analyzed market trends and business performance by separating new-logo bookings, expansion, and churn in CRM cohorts; reconciled the model to finance-reported revenue and showed that slower growth came from retention in one segment, redirecting the proposal from extra sales headcount to onboarding and partner support.
- In the same mentor-reviewed simulation, used stakeholder analysis to manage stakeholder expectations across the CFO, product, sales, and delivery teams; recorded conflicting incentives, decision rights, and unresolved assumptions, and the client sponsor approved a bounded pilot.
- In the same mentor-reviewed simulation, translated the recommendation into business process improvement and a business transformation roadmap with finance-reviewed measures, delivery owners, and fortnightly checkpoints; the steering committee adopted the roadmap and kept implementation progress separate from forecast benefits.
- In the same mentor-reviewed simulation, applied professional and technical standards to every client deliverable: checked source dates, recalculated model outputs, anonymized interview notes, and maintained a review log; resolved a unit mismatch before the steering-committee presentation.
- Created a synthetic ledger and supporting schedules with timing differences, reversals and an unmatched item; reconciled opening and closing balances and retained the source for each proposed adjustment.
- Tested the workbook after changing a period and reversing an input, identified formulas that failed to update, and added a control total and reviewer notes explaining the remaining assumptions.
- Owned the synthetic-ledger reconciliation using control totals, resolved an out-of-period posting and completed an evidence index linking every adjustment to its source record.
