In the early days of my career at Deloitte, I focused largely on data collection and analysis and had the opportunity to present findings to our team and clients. Over time, my responsibilities have expanded to include not only strategy work but also project and people management. This means closer collaboration with teams and clients, to build an understanding of various phenomena/themes and future opportunities through workshops and interviews.
We work with passion, which sometimes demands flexibility from us, but I deeply value that Deloitte does not have a rigid culture of hours tracking. For some, maintaining a precise rhythm is important, but for me, flexibility in work hours is highly appreciated, as it allows me to prioritize my well-being.
A trusted partner in major transformations
For our clients, digitalization and its business potential are still major themes, though they have become somewhat of a “new normal.” Recently, I have been working on transformative, market-shaping projects, including platform and ecosystem thinking and channel conversion, where clients in more traditional sectors explore new business models through digital and network-based means.
I have also enjoyed working with sustainability projects, particularly one for a consumer business client that involved scenario-based future visioning. This project was especially memorable as we examined possibilities and challenges for consumer products over a 20–30-year horizon.
When I initially applied to Deloitte, I wanted to see if I would thrive as a consultant and whether I’d be good at it. Nearly five years later, I’m still surprised by how well this position has suited me – both in terms of the substance of the work and the organization. I find it hard to imagine finding this level of versatility elsewhere, which is why I see myself staying here for the long term. I also appreciate that Deloitte focuses on good leadership, which is something we discuss actively also in the public sphere.
