Advises a broad range of consumer packaged goods and specialty retail clients on holistic value capture programs to achieve substantial, lasting performance gains and unlock sources of growth through their operating model

Alina is a partner in McKinsey’s Vienna office who works with consumer packaged goods and specialty retail clients to design and deliver large-scale operating model transformations. She helps leadership teams hardwire value creation into how their organizations work—unlocking step-change performance, faster decision-making, and new sources of growth.

She is known for building trusted partnerships with senior leaders and creating clarity and focus in times of ambiguity. Alina works with senior leaders to mobilize teams and institutionalize the capabilities required to sustain transformations long after programs end.

Examples of her recent client work include:

  • leading at-scale operating model transformations based on transforming strategies, including post-merger integrations and separation of business units
  • helping consumer packaged goods players redesign end-to-end processes to improve productivity, speed, and effectiveness in decision-making
  • organizing around value across processes, structures, roles, and technology to unlock performance
  • embedding outcome-back value-driven agentic ways of working to deliver step-changes in functional excellence
  • redesigning network and governance models to strike the right balance among global, regional, and local accountability

Combining deep expertise in organizational effectiveness with hands-on transformation experience, Alina helps clients translate ambitious strategies into measurable outcomes. She partners with senior leaders to shape operating models and ways of working that keep their organizations ahead in both performance and how their people experience work.
