Jubin Majlessi, an independent management consultant with more than 20 years of experience, explains what professionals like him do and the skills needed to be a successful management consultant specializing in technology strategy and implementation.
He charts his development as a child who was interested in many different things to a professional who combined his knowledge of finance and capital markets with a willingness to learn and develop specialized consulting knowledge and skills through the tech projects he managed.
"Time and time again in my life, I was always putting myself in places that were really scary in the beginning and uncomfortable. I would have very little confidence in the beginning. Sometimes it would lead me to extreme confidence and great expertise. Other times, it would fail and I would be very insecure. This created the path I took to different companies, services, consulting offerings. That was a big part of creating that success."
