Beyond IAMCO: Anna
Anna joined IAMCO in 2002 having studied French and Spanish at Durham University, and was promoted to Consultant in 2005. In summer 2006, Anna joined the BBC as a Strategy Manager.
My four years at IAMCO provided me with an excellent skills base on which to found my future career. I was exposed to a wide range of sectors, from FMCG to media, and travelled extensively. For example, I lived in South Africa for 7 months as part of a joint client-consultant team, as we undertook a commercial review of our client’s business in that market.
Through talking with colleagues from other consultancies, I have come to realise that the high levels of responsibility given to new graduates at IAMCO and the exposure to the expertise of senior management are exceptional. After around 2 years as an Associate I was promoted to Consultant and, overseen by a Partner, was able to lead small projects on my own soon after.
At IAMCO you learn to get up to speed quickly in a new sector, a skill that has been invaluable in my new role in the ever-changing media industry. IAMCO’s supportive environment and its cohesive and friendly team are key to its culture. If you have an interest in business, the skills and experience you’ll gain at IAMCO will certainly open many doors.
