Proudest career moment 

Persisting with a point of view about a client’s business strategy against significant opposition and being proved right by the turn of events.


"Our understanding of the factors that determine exceptional corporate performance has been limited by flawed measurements and false notions of cause and effect. Most attempts to date have been long on the dramatic story and short on statistical and research rigor."
