Owen Thoft-Brown

Owen Thoft-Brown was previously an Analyst at the Isenberg Undergraduate Consulting Group (IUCG), which is associated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst.3 The IUCG is a student organization that provides opportunities for undergraduate students to gain practical experience in management consulting while working on pro-bono projects for local businesses and non-profits.1

After graduating, Owen Thoft-Brown's career path took an interesting turn. According to the IUCG alumni page, he is now listed as a Professional Poker Player in the Class of 2023 Alumni section.2 This suggests that after his time at IUCG, he chose to pursue a career in professional poker rather than a traditional consulting role.

During his time at IUCG, Owen likely gained valuable analytical and problem-solving skills, which are transferable to many fields, including poker. The IUCG experience typically involves working on challenging business problems, developing both hard and soft skills, and interacting with corporate speakers and recruiters.1

It's worth noting that while Owen's LinkedIn profile was previously associated with his role as an Analyst at IUCG, his current professional status as a poker player represents a significant career shift from his consulting background.
