Mr. Industry Switch

About Me:

Hello! I’m a consultant with a T2 Strategy firm, focused on growth and portfolio optimization within the Energy industry.

Big Life Wins:

Academically, I’ve been a decently high achiever, with a solid engineering GPA. Outside of school, I advise my local Immigrant Services Foundation on operational decisions. 2 years ago, I co-founded a small online clothing line that generated $20K in revenue. I don’t have any stake in this company any more, but I definitely learned a lot from it.

Post MBA Goal:

I’m not very passionate about the Energy industry anymore. I want to transition to a corporate strategy role at a Retail company or work a Bizops role in the tech industry. I think an MBA would be a great way to make this industry transition.
