In Episode 1, we will discuss gender equity and female acceleration, specifically how the consulting industry moves from a male-dominated corporate culture to actual diverse and inclusive leadership​.

BearingPoint is in the midst of a years-long diversity and inclusion program, summarized under the umbrella term “DIVE” – that’s Diversity, Inclusion, Variety and Equity. The goal is to build and maintain an environment where talent can thrive. From this perspective, gender diversity in staff, leadership and decision-making are not a “nice to have,” but instead is business critical for BearingPoint, all consulting firms and really every organization to perform to its full potential. 
 

Melanie Tobler is a Partner at BearingPoint, active in the Automotive Industry. In addition, she fills the role of the global sponsor for BearingPoint’s DIVE initiative and is leading the charge for the organization to meet its sustainability goals for higher female representation, which they summarize under “female acceleration”.  Our second guest is Matthias Loebich, also a partner at BearingPoint – but in addition, currently leading the European Consulting Association FEACO. As such Matthias is invited to bring the perspective and discussion points for the consulting industry.
