Toronto Consulting Club draws top speakers

The Toronto Consulting Club was founded last year by Monica Porteanu, Cornell-Queen’s MBA’08, to bring together Toronto alumni and MBA students interested in the consulting field. Fellow alumni Nadia Nzabi, AMBA’09, Raluca Petrut, AMBA’09, and Diana Campoli, EMBA’09, helped organize a series of events last fall with speakers from top consulting firms, including AT Kearney, the Boston Consulting Group, Capgemini, PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada, and Secor Group.

More recent events have focused on current market conditions, with topics such as ‘Consulting During a Recession’, a panel discussion led by Prof. Douglas Reid and featuring Bob McCulloch, Chair of the National Board of CMC-Canada and founder of the Energy Exchange; Anne Marie Ryan, President of AMR Associates and Women in Capital Markets board member; Julia McGillis, BCom’99, Associate Partner at Oliver Wyman and Partner at Social Venture Partners; and Mark Raheja, BCom’98, a researcher and strategist in the field of behavioural change.
