About Stephen

I didn’t enter consulting with the perfect pedigree, but I became the fastest person in my Deloitte cohort promoted into the post-MBA role. My entire career has been built on figuring things out from first principles, learning fast, and navigating systems that don’t always explain the rules. My Background • Deloitte Consulting (Government & Public Sector) Broke in without the typical background; started with one of the lowest early ratings and later became the fastest promoted in my cohort. Worked across strategy, analytics, and early AI/automation initiatives for federal agencies. • MBA — Stanford Graduate School of Business Sponsored through Deloitte’s GSAP program. Focus on leadership, systems thinking, and organizational behavior. • Chief of Staff — Seed-Stage AI Startup Joined at ~10 people and supported strategy, operations, hiring, investor relations, and GTM as the company grew toward Series A. • Monitor Deloitte (Commercial Strategy) Returned on the commercial side, leading strategy projects in tech and healthcare, and helping build new offerings inside the Strategy & Analytics practice. • People Science & AI — Walmart Currently focused on enterprise AI transformation and building People Science capabilities at global scale for our 2.2 million employees. ⭐ What I Offer I help ambitious people break into consulting and accelerate once they’re inside. Not with generic advice, but with the exact tools, clarity, and strategic perspective I wish someone had given me earlier. ⭐ I work especially well with: -People who don’t come from the perfect pedigree but know they have real potential -Candidates who want clear, actionable guidance rather than fluff -Early-career consultants who want to build influence and grow faster -People who value honesty, preparation, and high standards What you can expect from me: -Direct feedback -Clear frameworks -Practical steps -Honest perspective on how the system really works
