Women's Retail Collective | A&M Consumer & Retail Group Partner Patricia Hong

If you’ve ever considered a career in management consulting or had a question about the consulting industry, this interview is a must-listen. Anne Mezzenga sits down with Patrica Hong, a 20-year management consultant veteran and Partner at the Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group. Patricia got into consulting thinking she’d get some early career experience and the opportunity to move to the US to get her MBA and then move onto other career opportunities. Little did she know, several years later, that she would leave consulting, come back, and still be doing it today. Patricia provides her insights on the skills it takes to succeed as a consultant and how to accept situations when you find you don’t have all the answers, like, for example, when helping a company manage their business through a pandemic. Patricia even closes the conversation sharing the number one thing on which, consultant or not, no one should ever compromise.
