As BCG’s Global Leader of TMT (Technology, Media and Telecommunications) Practice, Vaishali is passionate about creating a gender-balanced business world and has been intentional in recruiting and retaining female talent. 25% of her global leadership team, and 25% of TMT Managing Directors and Partners in Asia are female. During Vaishali’s tenure as BCG’s Head of Southeast Asia, the number of women hired increased by 40% and the female attrition rate dropped by 10 percentage points. Vaishali is proud to have enabled an environment which allows employees (male and female) to manage their work-life balance, with more women taking up flexible working hours under her leadership. Her position as part of the global Executive Committee at BCG has seen Vaishali mentor senior women across the organization, and in 2018 she formally set up the Women@BCG Sponsorship Program for Southeast Asia, a program in which over 30 senior women have participated in over the last 2 years.
