Bain & Company Announces Three New Leadership Positions Focused On Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Bain & Company announced the creation of a broad ecosystem and infrastructure aimed at further promoting racial and social equity, both within the firm and its broader communities, as well as three newly appointed leaders to oversee these efforts.
This news follows a statement from Mr. Maceda earlier this year, which included seven commitments the firm will take to promote racial equity and social justice.

“These leadership appointments are an early step in what will be Bain’s ongoing journey in pursuit of a more just and equitable world,” said Mr. Maceda. “We’ve spent the past few months engaging in candid, and at times difficult, conversations with many of our employees and clients. There have been some bright spots, including our dedicated day of learning and reflection on Juneteenth. And we’ve uncovered opportunities to raise the bar for our business, our clients and our communities. Maria, Julie and Jon bring the right mix of passion and expertise to guide our teams in achieving these bold ambitions.”
