ITgirls Talk: Entry into IT Strategy Consulting with Hannah

This blog article is for anyone who’s ever thought: “I’m not tech enough.” Spoiler alert: You probably are.

At BCG Platinion, we’re proud to share the diverse career paths of our people. In our latest collaboration with ITgirls, a career podcast featuring inspiring stories about women in tech, we get to hear from Hannah Koos, IT Consultant at BCG Platinion. She joins co-founder and host Lena John to discuss her journey into the world of IT strategy consulting.

From completing a dual business degree to advising international companies on complex technology topics, Hannah's story is a great example of how entering IT doesn’t have to follow a traditional path. Curiosity, courage to dive into new topics, and a part-time master’s degree in information systems helped her build a successful career in tech consulting.

· How to transition from business studies into the world of tech

· What a typical day at BCG Platinion looks like, including working across different technologies, projects, and clients

· Why women should apply for top consulting jobs, even if they don't tick every box in a job posting
