Retained to help build the firm’s new AI advisory practice, a strategic growth priority. The mandate anchors the capability with senior product leadership.

Success depended on the client giving additional time to engage female talent, flexibility on traditional career-path criteria, a supportive interview process with diverse interviewers and sponsors, and candidate access to senior leaders.

Outcome

Of 23 Partner appointments made since 2018, 65 per cent were female.

A global pipeline to diversify a regional consulting team

Client: Global management consulting firm (MBB), name redacted.

Outcome

Every individual hired from the pipeline was gender diverse.

Accelerated service line builds across ASEAN

Client: Global professional services firm (Big Four), name redacted.

 Status: Confidential.

Context

The firm set out to accelerate its Strategy service line in ASEAN, a global growth priority, with the ambition to quadruple the practice over four years through multiple Partner hires and team lifts. A parallel programme grew its Data and Analytics practice in the region.

Approach.

A dedicated, account-managed regional team gave the programme ongoing momentum. The task was to convince top talent, including MBB Partners, to consider the firm as a destination for strategy work, working closely with sponsoring Partners to land preferred candidates. For Data and Analytics, we appointed a regional lead Partner first, then country Partners across Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Outcome

12 Partners appointed across Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, including a three-Partner team lift from an MBB firm, spanning restructuring and turnaround, consumer goods and retail, life sciences and healthcare, government and public sector, TMT, digital strategy and operations strategy. A follow-on engagement in MENA delivered four further Partner appointments across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
