- Passion for problem solving is a must. Apart from solving the problem, communicating the same, and being able to work with the business (CEOs and their business leadership teams) to adopt / implement the recommendations is equally important

- Experience with financial analysis, and communication tools (powerpoint / word / excel) are a must, as the team members work on critical issues, and will not have full time oversight
