An Individual Experience Building a Career at Andersen Consulting and the International Monetary Fund
As a program manager, Joy Riley spent the majority of her professional career at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and the International Monetary Fund, mentoring employees, clients, and organizations through transformational change. Personal experiences with her family, friends, and close colleagues led her through her own transformation resulting in retirement from corporate life, more time with her family, and a career in life coaching. Joy focuses on coaching professional working women who would like to better define their career path, change paths, or find improved balance in their lives. In this interview, Joy shares her journey of building her career at one of the most prestigious consulting firms and at the International Monetary Fund.
