What was your route into the Operations Strategy team at Strategy&? 
I studied Management & Technology at TUM, and I always found the lectures on Lean Manufacturing particularly exciting. The lecturer is a Strategy& alumnus, and the projects he spoke about as examples were exciting. That drew my attention to the Operations Strategy Practice, and I think it is great that I was able to specialize in this field in a strategy consultancy right from the start. 

What do you most value about working in the Operations Strategy Team? 
Everyone is proud to be a part of the team and enjoys exchanging ideas with like-minded people who are keen on the same issues. Everyone has a different background – many colleagues were previously in industry. I really value learning from their experience. We have a very pragmatic mentality and work on projects in different industries - so it never gets boring.

What was the moment when you knew that it was the right decision to go to Strategy&? 
That was the first time I was standing on our client’s shop floor and experienced at first hand the plant whose productivity we were analyzing – that’s when I knew it was the right decision. It confirmed to me that we not only develop theoretical concepts, but work on solutions that achieve visible results with tangible effects.
