Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

The interviewer would like to know more about your leadership style and potential. How you answer should offer them insights into how team-oriented your approach is. Coaching, mentoring, and developing those on your teams are a large part of Capco's "meritocratic culture." As they say in their employee charter, you'll be expected to "support career-long development and provide opportunities for accelerated career progression for our strongest performers, provide ongoing feedback and coaching, empower people so they take part in the decisions that influence and shape our business and the way we work, provide channels for staff suggestions, comments, and feedback, and encourage people to raise proposals, concerns, or issues at work." Share your experience encouraging, mentoring, or coaching your fellow employees, formally or informally, to display your like-minded values.

Kevin Downey

"I have not been asked to train any other consultants in my career formally; however, I make it a habit of taking less experienced teammates under my wing to ensure they get off to a successful start. I share the tools and resources that I find helpful, share my tricks of the trade, and remind them that my door is open whenever they have a question. I am very open to formal leadership opportunities should those arise with Capco, and would love to work my way up into a leadership role."

Kevin Downey

"Throughout my career, I have trained over 25 new consultants. In my current role, I oversee the activities of five junior consultants. I look forward to bringing my strategic leadership and effective management skills to Capco."
