Mary Carryer

“I enjoy the intellectual satisfaction that comes from collaborating with clients to identify, frame, and resolve complex business issues.  While I was an executive at Wells Fargo, I found the partnering style at CCI to be an invaluable resource.  I like the fact that so many of our clients find real value from their CCI engagements and use us for subsequent engagements.  The firm’s approach to its team of consultants, providing autonomy and flexible work assignments, also fits with my lifestyle at this point in my career.”
