Page 1: Analytical Skills demonstrated at Special Session

Early in my career, my analytical and abstract reasoning skills were clearly recognized at a special session

conducted by consultants. I was one of 30 people involved in strategic planning and corporate

development who were invited to this session. We were given a large amount of quantitative and

qualitative information about 5 corporations (only identified as A through E). We were told that this

information was from 5 years prior to our session and we had to pick the company that was the best

performer and the worst performer after 5 years. We were given 60 minutes to independently analyze

the information. I was the ONLY ONE out of 30 to correctly pick the best and worst companies. Plus, I

presented my rationale for the selections.

I am able to analyze large amounts of simple and complex data and develop actionable

recommendations for both long and short term strategies. In addition, I can present insights to all levels

of an organization from analysts to C-Level executives in an understandable and in a way that is most

appropriate to the particular group.
