Even though women make up just about a quarter of the consulting profession, their collective impact is exponentially larger. Every day, all across the consulting profession, women are breaking barriers and blazing trails. In recognition of their extraordinary efforts, Consulting magazine recognizes the 2012 Women Leaders in Consulting at a celebratory dinner and gala at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, Nov. 8.
"As the publication of the profession, Consulting is honored to recognize the women leaders in the profession and the firms they represent," says Joe Kornik, Publisher & Editor in Chief of Consulting. "This is our sixth year recognizing the Women Leaders in Consulting. This year, we've received more than 400 nominations, and the quality and accomplishments of the winners get more impressive every year."
Headlining the Consulting magazine Achievement Awards: Women Leaders in Consulting dinner is Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Phyllis Yale, a Senior Advisor Bain & Company. Yale joined Bain in 1982 in the firm's Boston office and was elected partner just five years later. She founded Bain's healthcare practice and launched the firm's New York office.
