John Drzik
President and CEO
Oliver Wyman
Excellence in Leadership
John Drzik graduated from Princeton in 1983; a year later, he was Oliver Wyman's ninth employee. He was appointed Chairman in 2000 and led the successful integration of the Mercer Management Consulting, Mercer Oliver Wyman and Mercer Delta Organizational Consulting into today's Oliver Wyman Group. And last year, of course, he led the firm through the Great Recession.
"Last year was the toughest year I've seen in my 25 years in consulting," Drzik says. "In terms of how we navigated, it comes down to our people and the overall culture of the organization. Our people and the environment here are pretty entrepreneurial, even though we're pretty large. Our people were always looking for where they could serve our clients who were facing significant challenges."
