Women at Bain

Imagine an employer that actively fosters women's success. A place where rewarding career opportunities, a supportive environment and long-term flexibility are all cornerstones of the corporate culture.

At Bain, we're passionate about attracting, developing and retaining the world's top female business leaders. It's no wonder we've become the firm of choice for so many talented women.

From Bain to eBay

Over the years, many impressive women have made their mark at Bain and beyond. Take Bain chairman Orit Gadiesh, who was named one of the "Most Powerful Women in Business" by Fortune. Or Phyllis Yale, who rose through the ranks to become one of our senior partners and ran our largest office. Or ex-Bainie Meg Whitman, who went on to serve as president and CEO of eBay.

The full list of women making a huge impact at Bain and beyond is quite remarkable.
