COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Thoughts on base salary range for experienced Consultant in Boston or NYC? 4 YOE -> 2.5 YOE in B4 consulting and 1.5 in public sector with an MPA. Could be MBB, Tier 2, B4, Guidehouse / Slalom etc.

Many people say our services are terrible. Without first hand seeing the ppl do our services (unlike consulting) Is there anyone that can give more insight into how our services actually level up and compete against the big 4? Is it just me or does Optiv need to be more like the big4 and change it’s model around to be more like a big4 consulting firm?
