Solveigh is a senior partner at McKinsey based in Germany. She works at the intersection of strategy, technology, and geopolitics, advising some of Europe’s most iconic companies as they transform, compete, and grow. Her client work centers on the agendas the continent needs most to accelerate: building and scaling data and AI, modernizing core technology, and driving innovation-led growth across regulated and industrial sectors—from energy, infrastructure, and logistics to advanced manufacturing and life sciences. She counsels the leaders steering these institutions through their most consequential transformations.
Solveigh helped create Accelerating Europe, a firm-wide mission to advance Europe’s renewal across three strategic pillars: thought leadership, European lighthouses, and CEO mobilization around a shared growth agenda for the continent. She also cocreated McKinsey’s collaboration with the World Economic Forum’s initiative “Europe in the Intelligent Age.”
She is a leader in McKinsey’s global CEO practice, serves on the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) council, and is the cofounder of the firm’s World’s Most Influential Women network, which regularly convenes female CEOs and board chairs across industries and regions.
Solveigh is a Young Global Leader (YGL) at the World Economic Forum, a member of both the Trilateral Commission and the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on Digital Transformation. She regularly contributes to international convenings hosted by organizations such as the OECD and DLD, and she has been recognized among Germany’s most influential voices in business at multiple occasions.
Before joining McKinsey, she held roles at the United Nations, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan.
