Consumer Packaged Goods Managament Consultant Review

This year, I had the privilege of working as a Distribution intern, aligned to Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG), collaborating with multiple clients within the Distribution sector and driving the daily operations of the CPG cluster and much more exciting opportunities.

Over the past year, I've undergone a significant transformation in my communication skills, and I've also acquired a wealth of knowledge about Generative AI, which has greatly enhanced my understanding of this cutting-edge technology.

I successfully managed a diverse portfolio of client relationships, developed and executed pitches, and ensured client deliverables were met on target. Additionally, I played a key role in driving internal sales growth and revenue management, contributing to the organisation's overall success.

Throughout my placement year, I was fortunate to have a strong support network, comprising my foundation and task manager, as well as my colleagues, who all provided valuable guidance, encouragement, and collaboration, enabling me to thrive and achieve my goals.

The organisation fosters a dynamic and inclusive workplace culture that encourages creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning, where employees feel empowered to share ideas, take calculated risks, and grow professionally in a supportive and stimulating environment.

I had an incredibly rewarding experience during my placement, which not only offered me valuable opportunities for growth and development, but also allowed me to form lifelong friendships with like-minded individuals who shared my journey.

For early professionals considering a career at IBM, my advice is to have a clear understanding of your unique strengths and be able to effectively communicate them. Identify a specific area that genuinely fascinates you and be prepared to demonstrate how you can leverage your skills to drive success in a collaborative team environment.
