Work

Where I've worked

Audit-grade rigor from EY, three years of strategy consulting delivered to household-name clients, hands-on analytics inside a Fortune 500 utility, and early-stage product work at startups in London and Tokyo. The full detail is in my resume. These are the stories I'd tell first.

Ernst & Young

Assurance Analyst 2, Banking & Capital Markets · San Francisco · 2026 to present. Previously FSO Assurance Intern, Wealth & Asset Management, 2024.

I work in EY's financial services assurance practice, across engagements from $365M to $2.2B in annual revenue. For a post-IPO consumer fintech client with $2.2B in revenue and $134B in annual purchase volume, I run monthly revenue variance analysis across seven revenue streams, tested individually at the account level. I validate client revenue reports out of Snowflake and Looker by reading the underlying query logic and reconciling to NetSuite, which means testing revenue at the transaction level rather than taking the client's numbers on trust.

I also led the engagement team's AI initiative. I trained 5 auditors on applied AI workflows and built the agents and prompt workflows myself: an analysis and summary layer over client Excel files, reviewer-facing notes on each tab so managers and seniors can review faster, and independent re-performance checks that recalculate client figures to confirm they hold. It saved the team more than 50 hours of manual work. It was scoped to our engagement team and was not adopted firm-wide.

The rest is documenting internal controls and testing revenue recognition under ASC 606. It's where I learned that a number isn't done until you can show how it was built.

ABA Consulting

Analyst to Project Manager · Berkeley · 2022 to 2025

Three years and four roles at a student consulting organization running real engagements for real clients. I moved from analyst to project manager to senior advisor, delivering work for T-Mobile, IKEA, The Assistance Fund, and the Gates Foundation, and eventually owning the recruiting pipeline and training curriculum for the organization itself: 80+ candidates interviewed and workshops for 80+ members. That story has its own page.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Strategy Project Manager (contract, via ABA Consulting) · 2024

The Foundation needed to decide which partner organizations could actually carry a major initiative. I built a quantitative partner-scoring framework from scratch, grounded in 30+ peer-reviewed sources and 10+ expert interviews, then led a cross-functional team of 8 analysts across 5 simultaneous workstreams to evaluate 6 major French nonprofit partners. Six months of research came down to one deliverable: a ranked shortlist and an actionable investment thesis, presented directly to the Foundation's Manager of Strategy.

Southern California Edison

Asset Data & Strategy Implementation Intern · 2023

Inside Edison International's asset strategy group, I designed an Excel operations database that automated the team's efficiency and headcount modeling, improving team productivity by 75%, and built Power BI dashboards that gave leadership a live view of asset KPIs. I also worked in SAP on internal reporting and asset data workflows. Small team, big company, and a lesson in how much leverage one good internal tool creates.

Startups, in London and Tokyo

Emplio (London, 2022) · AI SILK (Tokyo, 2022 to 2023)

Before the consulting work got serious I spent time inside two early-stage companies on opposite sides of the world. At Emplio in London I supported product and marketing for a UK startup still finding its shape. At AI SILK, a Tokyo company building electrically conductive fabric, I researched the digital health and metaverse markets, developed 7 product concepts for the material, and mapped a potential US expansion across 20+ prospective partnerships.

Both were small enough that the work was real and unglamorous. They're also why ambiguity doesn't bother me much: at that stage nobody hands you a defined problem.

Also worth mentioning

  • IKEA (contract, via ABA): assessed financial-services market-entry feasibility, building customer segmentation models and competitive dashboards from a 1,500+ respondent survey.
  • The Assistance Fund (contract, via ABA): led a team of 5 through a 20-week growth engagement with 100% on-time delivery, validated by 15+ expert interviews and a 3,000+ respondent survey.
  • T-Mobile (contract, via ABA): customer and industry research on Gen Z recognition of their 5G product, built on 1,100+ survey responses.
