"Working today is much more about skills like problem solving than about knowledge. Being a good analytic problem solver lets you do almost anything."

Jeremy studied maths and linguistics at the Australian National University. Graduating with Honours in maths in 1993, he worked for management consultants McKinsey & Co. for 2 years, spending one year in South Africa. He is now a Strategic Planning Manager for CitySearch, an Internet company in Los Angeles.

Jeremy liked maths because it was fun and he was good at it. While maths is not part of his everyday work, the problem solving skills he learnt by studying maths are invaluable.
