Reinventing organisations for a real impact

BCG is committed to the advancement of women in business, and we lead by example. We believe in addressing challenges women and talent more broadly face holistically and introducing in measures that support their progress across all stages, starting with recruiting, to retaining, and then advancement. Women@BCG is our initiative to make BCG the preeminent employer for women seeking a career in professional services, and increasing the number, success, and satisfaction of women at BCG.

Most challenging

Many of the fields and levels of leadership I work with are still male-dominated. That by itself is a challenge that I enjoy tackling, as I am often the only women in the room. Achieving a good balance of my professional and personal commitments and maintaining my wellbeing is a priority for me.

Most engaging

I enjoy many aspects of my role. Mostly I enjoy working with our clients on shaping the future, on reinventing their organisations and on achieving real impact. I enjoy the dynamic nature of my job, the continuous learning and growth opportunities, and the achievements of my clients, specifically, female clients.
