I was attracted to Keystone because of its strong technology focus, which would give me the opportunity to learn about a spectrum of emerging markets. In addition, I knew that Keystone's boutique size and flat organization would provide a great opportunity to learn directly from the firm's experienced managers, partners and academic experts. Keystone's perfect blend of technology focus, high energy and entrepreneurial environment was exactly what I was looking for.

At Keystone I have worked in both the Strategy and Expert Practice Areas for Fortune 50 clients. Through these projects, I have expanded my knowledge base on the emerging smart grid market and global impact of software piracy. From day one, I took on significant responsibilities, worked closely with senior management and had an immediate impact on the projects. Keystone places a strong emphasis on the professional development of all its employees and has been very supportive in providing formal and informal training sessions. Weekly one-on-one check-ins with managers have also aided my professional and skill development. Keystone provides a great environment for anyone looking to build their professional skills while also contributing to the development of a high-energy, rapidly growing technology consulting firm.
