Dear Friends, Today marks my last day at McKinsey, and virtually my last day in New York. The last two years have been exciting, interesting, and eventful - I have learned more, seen more, and grown more, than I could have thought possible in September of 2002. None of that would have been possible without all of you - you have made the highs higher and made the lows bearable, and I cannot thank all of you enough. Too many of you have been of far too much assistance for to even begin to break out specific names, but I would be remiss if I did not particularly thank Raj Garg, Ari Kellen, Rodney Zemmel, Sumit Aggarwal, Somesh Khanna, Jay Rao, Angela Sun, Yannick Mathieu, and all of my fellow BAs. But all good things must, indeed, come to an end. I leave the BA program for a world of new opportunities that I could not have imagined even a few months ago. In the next few days I will begin work as founder of The Two Rivers Group. In that role I hope to capitalize and build upon the skills I acquired at McKinsey to bring some of the ideas and insights of the academic world to bear upon the problems of governments, business, and non-profits. I will be spending the summer working with clients in Washington, DC, New York, Newport, RI, and Cambridge, MA. I will be based out of Washington, DC, but I hope to see most of you during the summer as well if and when we are in any of those areas. In September I will return to Cambridge to begin a PhD in Political Science focusing in International Relations, as part of MIT's Program on Emerging Technologies (PoET). PoET seeks to understand the impact of technological change on society and to better understand how different organizations can manage and predict technological innovation. It seeks to combine insights from the hard sciences, engineering, economics, political science, and history, in a unique integrative program. I feel and hope that PoET is a unique opportunity to combine a wide variety of my interests in research that can be of use to the private, public, and non-profit sectors. If this is something in which you have interest, or which might be able to help one of your teams, please reach out to me - I would be happy to help. If any of you come through Boston in the next few years, please drop me a line. My contact information is somewhat in flux at the moment. This e-mail address will expire at the end of the day. You can, however, always reach me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and my permanent home address of: 10237 Nolan Drive Rockville, MD 20850-3507 The phone number there is (301) 309-9012.
