How I can help

Expert interview moderation

Focused expert conversations that address the project’s questions. I can moderate a series of interviews and bring the findings together in a written report.

Research and synthesis

Secondary research, expert insights and supplied material turned into clear reports and presentations, with evidence and assumptions clearly distinguished.

Strategy project support

Additional capacity for a defined business question or workstream, drawing on experience in management consulting, business development and product research.

Selected work

EXPERT INTERVIEWS

Facilities management

Moderated interviews with four experts and prepared a written research report.

RESEARCH & SYNTHESIS

Airline partnerships

Prepared a research report and follow-up addendum, including additional quantitative inputs requested during the engagement.

Experience and background

My recent independent work includes expert interview and research engagements through GLG. I also work with Turing as an independent contractor.

Previously, I worked as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group, completed a pre-MBA internship in Roland Berger’s Private Equity practice, and worked in sports business development at Voxdale.

I hold an MBA from INSEAD and a PhD from the University of Antwerp, where my research focused on sports engineering and product development.

About me

Raman Garimella

A little beyond work

I grew up in India and have lived in Germany and Belgium, with time in France and Singapore during my MBA.

Away from work, there’s a good chance I’m following Arsenal, planning a hike, cooking or working through a sudoku. I previously competed in road cycling in India and co-wrote Escape Velocity – The Definitive Desi Guide to Cycling.

At INSEAD, I ran a biryani pop-up and cooked 100 portions. Cooking remains one of my favourite ways to bring people together.

Send me the question you’re working on, the output you need and your timing. It doesn’t need to be a finished brief.
