Loe Larsson
Deloitte Consulting
Excellence in Client Service
Age: 33
Loe Larsson is a Manager in Deloitte's Consumer Products practice with more than seven years of strategy consulting experience. Over her career at Deloitte, she has led multiple projects that have driven growth and profit, typically with 5 or 10 times the returns.
Ask Larsson what really excites her about consulting, and she'll mention two things: "First, many of our clients' problems are becoming increasingly multi-dimensional and complex. While this presents new challenges and uncertainty when it comes to solving them, I do really enjoy working with clients to tackle these new realities," Larsson says. "Second, I'm also excited and inspired by the outstanding talent we have at Deloitte and watching them get a grasp of the profession and grow into strong consultants."
She's successfully led multi-year strategy programs, and helped generate significant value for her clients and build strong leaders along the way. Larsson says she feels the most proud when she's truly helped "put ourselves out of a job," creating capabilities that will persist even after we've left. "For me, this is the definition of true, long-term value creation," she says.
She says the biggest factor to her success so far, "without a doubt, has been the mentorship I've been fortunate to receive in my time at Deloitte," she says. "I've had 5 to 6 people that have challenged, supported, and believed in me since I started as a business analyst."
As for being named a Rising Star of the Profession, Larsson calls it an affirmation that she can be successful in her career while balancing motherhood—she has a one-year-old son—and her non-profit work—she's the treasurer for SWEA, the Swedish Women Educational Association, in Chicago.
