“Capgemini stood out as a place where I could be part of a larger team of consultants working together on projects – an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and shared growth.”

I began my career at Capgemini in June 2022 as a Senior Consultant in Insights & Data, and currently serve as a Managing Consultant. With a degree in Business Administration and Economics, I chose to pursue a career in IT to work at the intersection of data, strategy, and innovation. After three years consulting prior to joining Capgemini, I now help clients turn data into actionable insights. I’m passionate about solving complex problems, driving value through collaboration, and delivering results that matter.

What made you decide to apply to and join Capgemini?

I wanted to join a strong consulting environment with a clear focus on data and insights, where I could deepen my expertise in implementing and delivering data platforms at a larger scale than I had experienced previously. Capgemini stood out as a place where I could be part of a larger team of consultants working together on projects – an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and shared growth. Lastly, I was drawn to Capgemini’s broad opportunities for career development, and the chance to grow within a company that invests in its people.
