Background: I joined Putnam in 2005 and prior to that was in the Life Sciences practice at L.E.K. and Booz Allen Hamilton. Prior to entering consulting, I performed R&D management roles in two early stage medical technology companies. Also, I co-founded a medical diagnostics company developing a novel imaging modality, which was subsequently acquired by an international pharmaceutical corporation.
Working in the healthcare industry is a passion of mine. I like working on important strategic problems. Every case at Putnam is different and I like the challenge of there being no formulaic approach.
There are three reasons why I chose Putnam Associates: (1) I like the small company ambience, (2) I appreciate the collegial, less formal, and more flexible atmosphere across cases and with partners, and (3) the lifestyle: I work hard but I also get to see my family.
