On March 11th, the IE Consulting Club was proud to host Xavier Garay, principal of Main Partners, a boutique consulting firm from Madrid. Students from the IMBA, EXMBA and MM in Telecommunications joined the event to hear Mr. Garay share his expertise about the skills set needed for new consultants, the lifestyle of consultants and hot trends in the Telecommunication sector. He also touched up the risks and rewards of working for well recognized consulting firms and his experience from consultant to entrepreneur.

Afterwards, the IE Consulting Club hosted a cocktail networking event where students had the chance to meet Mr. Garay to share knowledge and seek advice. As one student’s feedback “He was an excellent expert, his lecture was very insightful and I gained a different perspective of consulting, it’ll help me decide my career path.”

The IE Consulting Club has a series of upcoming speakers in the next few months as they continue to invite boutique and well-known consulting companies. Mark your calendars for June 9th, as the IE Club presents Consulting Day!
