Mu Sigma Founder and CEO Dhiraj Rajaram said he brought on Tom for his demonstrated ability to translate complex messaging and strategies into impactful, consumable stories for the market. "Tom has the rare ability to quickly grasp very complicated scenarios, boil them down to their essence, and communicate them clearly," said Dhiraj. "Mu Sigma's business has many facets, and I believe Tom is the right person to help us get the word out about the substantial value we bring to our clients."

Tom said he was motivated to join Mu Sigma after stimulating conversations with Dhiraj about Mu Sigma's strategy to help Fortune 500 companies institutionalize data-driven decision making, and the fact that analytics and Big Data are fundamentally changing the way companies do business. "I have been following this market for quite some time. Mu Sigma's take is very different. It's category defining in its approach to building a better art of problem solving. The company works with top-tier brands on top-tier challenges, but does so in a unique, powerful way," said Tom.
