He interviewed with many banks looking for a job but eventually joined the consultancy Accenture. Where he spent the first ten years of his career.
Bruce also worked for a time at Booz Allen Hamilton and Sprint before going back to Accenture, where he served as the CTO of a software company they purchased. Although he had several telecom companies trying to recruit him, he was more interested in consulting.
