Aakarsh Kishore
Senior Partner at TheMathCompany
Senior Partner at TheMathCompany
I excel at understanding new environments, diagnosing business problems to solve for efficiency, and tailoring communication to cater to the needs of executive audiences. My tenured Management Consulting career has allowed me to leverage these basic strengths and acquire additional skills that have helped me sell and deliver challenging digital transformation programs and turnkey data science and analytics initiatives for over 40 Fortune 500 clients over the last 14 years. 

My functional expertise includes:
   •	Strategic Business Analysis
   •	Data Science & Analytics 
   •	Digital Transformation
   •	New Product Development (NPD)
   •	Project & Portfolio Management (PPM)
   •	Organizational Change Management (OCM)

Outside of work, I like to read and travel to feed my desire for learning more about history and geopolitics and their impact on human lives and culture. World travel also allows me to moonlight as a non-profit art promoter, a passion project I started for a social cause. I currently live in downtown Chicago with my wife and son.
