FTI Consulting

Excellence in Leadership

Mark McCall says he ended up in consulting by both accident and design. McCall knew the best way to enter the profession was at a consulting firm, but it was a difficult job market and he says he lucked out getting his first job at the leading firm at the time. “I quickly realized that being a consultant, working for numerous clients and helping them solve critical issues, was where I could thrive,” he says. “The consulting profession fit with my personality and interests, and while I moved firms early in my career, I’ve never regretted the decision.”
