Hi, I'm Sejal. I'm a Senior Associate at Bain & Company, working on growth strategy, brand acceleration, and M&A for consumer products and FMCG clients, everything from sizing multi-hundred-million-dollar whitespace opportunities to screening acquisition targets from universes of 15,000+ companies down to a real shortlist. I got here through a somewhat unconventional path (internships in investment research and HR recruitment before Bain), and I'm big on demystifying how consulting and strategy roles actually work, not just the glossy LinkedIn version. If you're trying to break into consulting, figure out how to position a resume for strategy or consumer-products roles, or just want an honest read on whether a case-team career is what you think it is, I'm happy to talk. I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers, but I've got real, specific experience to draw from, and I'd rather give you something useful than something polished.
