McKinsey passionately believes in developing outstanding leaders and promoting diversity, both at our firm and in the world at large.
Diversity Connect - Europe will bring together individuals from across Europe who self-identify as having an African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American, Middle Eastern, North African, Turkish or mixed heritage. This program aims to support talented individuals who may be currently underrepresented in leadership roles.
Our 2023 Diversity Connect - Europe will be a two-day program, with one virtual event on June 2 and one in-person event in August.
During the virtual event, attendees will hear from McKinsey leaders about their professional journey and what lead them to our firm, as well as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at McKinsey. Attendees will also have the chance to select workshops of interest to them, focused on leadership and being your authentic self, allowing each person to tailor their program to their personal or professional development goals.
The in-person event you will be invited to will take place in the location that sponsored your participation. During these gatherings, attendees will meet McKinsey colleagues and receive a tour of the office. The dates of these events will vary.
