Christian Edelmann

As Managing Partner for Europe, Christian has demonstrated rigorous dedication to diversity and inclusion, driving meaningful change across Oliver Wyman. While leading our business in Europe, he has spearheaded efforts to achieve a 50/50 female-to-male ratio across all leadership appointments to the European Leadership team. Christian was also one of the architects of a revised parental leave programme. He took parental leave to enable his wife return to full-time work, reducing the stigma around paternity leave and driving an increased uptake of paternity leave amongst men in the organization. He has personally endeavoured to open conversations around the menopause within the business, hosting a panel discussion on the topic and kick-starting the process for relevant policies.
Christian serves as an Executive Sponsor of Oliver Wyman Women’s Network, WOW, which focuses on attracting, developing, and retaining talented women within the business.
