Kate Fickle, and her Energy team at PRTM, is helping a major West Coast-based utility cut its costs by $100 million per year. For the last four years, this account has ranked among the firm's top three and was the largest in 2009.
It may seem that she was destined to be in her current role, but her journey has hardly followed a typical path. Fickle was born in Missouri, but lived abroad when she was very young and did all of her schooling in Asia. "It exposed me to different cultures, religions, backgrounds and incomes. It affected me as a person," she says. "I saw how similar we all really are."
