Under Georg’s leadership over the past 2 years, BCG has defined a clear business case as to why gender diversity is important for BCG, and has ensured that this is constantly communicated to leaders and to all staff. As well as setting goals on the hiring and retention of female talent, Georg and his team have stated their ambition to continue to advance BCG’s women representation in the region. The programs they have implemented include family support, extended paternity leaves, women leadership programs, and participation in external thought leadership publications. Georg personally oversees the retention and career progression of CEMA’s senior women including a strong focus on female share in succession planning for leadership roles. Alongside that commitment he also sponsors 14 senior women to ensure they are successful in advancing through the ranks, by making regular check in calls and advocating for them internally.
