🎙️ New Strategy Bites episode is live!
Last week, I sat down with Melanie Kansil, Chief Strategy Officer at MECCA Brands.
Melanie started her career at McKinsey, then went on to build startups, work across multiple sectors, and now shapes strategy for one of Australia’s most loved consumer brands.
We talk about:
✨ What the CSO role really looks like day to day
✨ What consulting prepares you brilliantly for (and what it doesn’t)
✨ The messy reality of moving from advising to owning strategy
✨ The career advice she wishes she’d had earlier
✨ The reality of consulting vs start-ups vs leading inside a top brand
If you’re a consultant wondering whether industry, start-up, leadership, or a CSO role might be in your future, this episode is a must-listen.
