My time at Keystone was a constant learning experience from day one.  All of my projects were in high tech industries and the issues we tackled had an extremely  high, strategic impact for our clients.  I was attracted to Keystone because of the people- some of the brightest people I’ve ever met.  During my time at Keystone not only was this first impression reinforced, but I learned that the people are sociable, friendly and always there to help you.  In addition, Keystone’s flat organization was great – as a first year analyst I worked with a Partner on a daily basis.

Keystone facilitated my transition from academia where I was a Ph.D. candidate to the world of business and truly gave me a jump-start to my career. Keystone's professional development programs are well structured and helped me achieve my goals faster than I could've imagined. At LinkedIn, 70% of my job involves business strategy development, while 30% is about execution of those strategies – my Keystone experience has prepared me well and enabled me to make an immediate impact in my new role.
