We hire plenty of those guys in Accenture Industry X
I am also at Accenture with 35 years in Industry. I will say they have been great about respecting my background.
I think he could be a great consultant. I did it in my 50s
Absolutely doable for him to him to be successful. I would target firms that have non equity partner or pre-partner roles for a soft landing into consulting, so he doesn’t come in with the giant sales target on his back. For less pressure, there are firms with lifer subject matter expert roles.
But to make him very appealing, he needs to come in with a fresh set of relationships novel to the firm. The firm can help him shape the opportunity but he needs to demonstrate that he is willing to open some doors. The pure SME role doesn’t go further otherwise. And of course that helps him learn the ropes and develop a book of business
Doable for sure
Yeah - dont do it
"deep sector expertise" real Subject Matter Experts will always have value
