slide 2 of 2 "Pride@BCG was definitely one of the main reasons I chose to join BCG. Getting the positive reinforcement during my recruitment with BCG that I could be my authentic self at my workplace was exactly what I needed to make my choice. My favorite thing about Pride@BCG is the way the network helps us come together and the camaraderie we feel with every other member knowing that all of us have some level of similarities in the issues we've faced in our lives." Rajthilak Rajasekar Consultant, Singapore "Through Pride@BCG, I’ve connected with a tremendous group of peers spanning all regions of the globe and all levels of tenure. The Network has truly become my extended BCG family. I know that my career development at BCG is strongly supported by both the formal mentor program and the mentoring provided by Pride@BCG. Through the Network, I’ve established relationships with a number of senior leaders in the firm, and they have demonstrated a clear interest in ensuring that I am growing as a consulting professional, finding intellectual challenges, and having a positive experience at BCG." Gabrielle Novacek Managing Director and Partner, Chicago, USA Learn more about Gabrielle "One of my personal focuses within the Pride network is to increase awareness and support for intersectional identities within our own community. In early 2020, we launched a Slack channel specifically for women, trans, and gender non-conforming people in Pride@BCG. As a queer non-binary person, having the support of BCG to pursue efforts like this is really incredible and has led to some of my favorite moments and connections in the network."
