Katherine Stone
Senior Analytics Manager – Leadership TeamA quick Q&A with Senior Analytics Manager, Katherine Stone
What’s your role at QuantSpark and where do you sit within the organisation?
I am a manager in QuantSpark’s Analytics team.
What did you do before you worked at QuantSpark and where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
Prior to joining QuantSpark I spent just over 5 years as a data & analytics consultant at Strategy&, PwC’s Strategy arm. This is where I developed my love of consulting, and the impact that we can have on clients. As I have progressed through my career, I have also developed a passion for leading teams and developing others and therefore see myself continuing to build on these aspects over the next 5 years.
What do you love about your job?
I think most consultants will agree that the variety of work is what motivates us! No two days are the same in consulting and the exposure to different industries, and problems allows for continuous learning.
Who have you learnt the most from at QuantSpark so far? What have you learnt from them?
I’m continuously learning from everyone I meet here at QuantSpark, with so many different backgrounds and experience present in our team.
What advice would you give to someone on their first day at QuantSpark?
Be curious and pro-active in getting to know the team and the work which we do. It’s a unique opportunity to gain exposure to so many different elements of a company, and everyone is super friendly!
