14 Our consultants are experiencing ECON s value proposition on a daily basis ECON consultant testimonials Giorgio Boneschi Position at ECON Management Team Member Consulting experience 12 years with McKinsey & Co. For me ECON is the perfect place to be after my relatively long career with McKinsey: I can continue doing what I like to do consulting I am part of a team that shares and lives a very strong set of values (client, people, performance) I can concentrate on an industry that I like deeply I work for a top tier utility in the world (my client and my company at the same time!) Through ECON, I can look for a smoother transition to a line position after knowing better the organization I joined ECON as I wanted to get into a driver-seat-position in the change process the energy business is currently in. One of the things I like best about ECON vs. external strategy consulting is that here I can take my fact-based suggestions directly to my clients. Our Management Team Members are there for me if I need their advice, but very much rely on the work I am doing. This also drives the sustainable lifestyle I am having here my wife and son are thankful for that as much as I am! Dr. Sebastian Lührs Position at ECON Project Manager Consulting experience 5 years with Bain & Company Annika Ramakers Position at ECON Senior Project Consultant Consulting experience 3 years with Booz & Company I chose to join ECON mainly for three reasons: I wanted to focus on an industry sector which is important for the future I wanted to continue doing challenging and interesting project work I wanted a work/life balance that allows me to pursue other hobbies of mine and see more often my friends and family On top of that I got ECON colleagues that are qualified and inspiring, also energy loving and fun people to work with. 14
