I’m Joseph Linthicum, a junior at Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business majoring in Management Consulting & Analytics. I’ve gained hands-on experience through internships and project work, developing skills in consumer insights, strategy, and analytics.

I was born in the United States but spent much of my upbringing in Germany, returning to the U.S. to pursue my education full-time. These international experiences shaped my adaptability and global outlook, giving me a deeper understanding of markets and consumer behavior. I now bring this perspective to my academic work and professional goals, and I’m eager to apply it to a career in consulting, finance, or analytics.

Here are some of my consulting projects and examples of the frameworks I use. These include case studies completed at Virginia Tech, Passion projects, and team-based consulting work, where I applied structured problem-solving approaches such as the Pyramid Principle, MECE, and SCQA.

Here is a completed a range of data science projects focused on forecasting, customer analytics, financial modeling, and consulting case studies. From building predictive models that improve retail sales forecasting and portfolio risk management, to uncovering customer segments that drive targeted marketing, to solving operational challenges in case competitions, these projects highlight my ability to combine technical skills with business insights.
