Proud Leaders

Celebrating 25 years of GLAM, McKinsey’s LGBTQ+ network

Virtual Speaker Series

2020 marks GLAM’s 25th anniversary. What started with just a small group in 1995 now includes hundreds of LGBTQ+ colleagues worldwide alongside a large allies network.

To celebrate this special anniversary, we invite you to attend our Proud Leaders - Virtual Speaker Series. The series of six webinars will focus on different aspects of our GLAM network and introduce you to some of our LGBTQ+ colleagues from across Europe.
