Since moving on from Stax, what new directions has your career taken? 

I decided to move on from Stax because I wanted to pursue new challenges and gain hands-on operations experience. My role is cross-functional in nature, including operations responsibilities (direct P&L management, establishing KPI's, empowering hospital leads) over a portfolio of hospitals, as well as collaborating and implementing companywide strategic initiatives.

What strategies or approaches did you learn at Stax that you find yourself relying on in your current role? 

The approach to problem solving I developed while at Stax is critical in my new role. Every problem or barrier is unique and has multiple layers to it - being able to digest information, organize my thoughts, and convey a solution in a simple and actionable manner has been key in my success so far.

What’s one piece of advice you wish you’d known when you were at Stax, that could benefit current consultants now? 

Collaborate as much as you can with peers that you have not worked with directly, regardless of what level. Take advantage of the entire team at Stax and tap into the knowledge available if you just ask!

What’s the most binge-worthy show you’ve discovered since leaving Stax?

The Wire on HBO - an oldy but a goodie.
