In addition to her role as a partner in the firm’s Consumer practice, Caroline leads Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Women@BCG for BCG Australia & New Zealand. In 2019, BCG Australia moved to equalize leave for all new parents regardless of gender or caregiver status. Under Caroline’s leadership, the program has grown to over 90% participation from eligible staff. Caroline has championed the de-gendering of working parenthood, with 20% of female and 10% of male managers working on flex models. To complement existing Women’s and Pride networks, Caroline amplified employee action groups around Culture & Ethnicity, First Nations and Disability Inclusion. They run intersectional programming and affiliation activities such as a ‘True Colours’ storytelling series where diverse individuals are invited to share their lived experiences with colleagues, and a Women@BCG conference with over 150 attendees. Under Caroline’s leadership the local diversity network has more than quadrupled, with over 100 employee champions across 6 engagement pillars driving grassroots change.
