“Ari is by far and away one of the most thoughtful colleagues I've worked with who carefully considers clients' questions/objectives. What I valued most about Ari is her fearlessness & entrepreneurial spirit. She is never afraid to challenge the status quo and explore new ways of doing/thinking about our work. She speaks up and is an agent of change, which is something I think we all need more of. A natural with technology, I've witnessed on numerous occasions, Ari self-teach herself tools to ensure recommendations were data-backed and insights lead. She is a natural leader, dynamic presenter, and has been crucial to building team camaraderie and culture. ”

About
This is the part where I have an opportunity to paint a picture of what it’s like working with me. You can expect an analytical thinker who is going to carefully consider all data points and ask questions. You can expect a passionate high-achiever who isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and will always ask, what is the best way to do this? You can expect someone who takes the time to coach & foster growth; someone who loves client presentations and quiet working time, someone who is engaged with the work, team, & culture.
