A community for life
As profoundly stimulating as it is at McKinsey, people do leave. We're OK with that.
In fact, we’re proud of what they achieve as global leaders. Around a quarter of our alumni have started their own entrepreneurial ventures, and more than 300 are CEOs of companies with revenues north of $1 billion.
We think it’s great that there’s a lot of McKinsey in places other than McKinsey. Because of the collaborative, supportive nature of the culture, people here make friends for life.
Our alumni number nearly 27,000 and work in virtually every business, public, and social sector in 120 countries. Through formal events and informal networking, former McKinsey consultants make and sustain professional relationships. For those alumni who are interested, we regularly communicate via e-mail, bi-monthly Webcasts, LinkedIn, and surveys through the McKinsey alumni Web site. This dynamic network is a lasting benefit of a McKinsey career.
