McKinsey has expanded its partnership with Girls in Tech to support diversity, equity and inclusion, and STEM education.
McKinsey will partner with the global non-profit, committed to ending the gender gap in tech, on all 2021 flagship programmes. This includes the annual Girls in Tech Conference; which had record attendance in 2020 as the conference went virtual during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“McKinsey has been among our most involved and committed corporate partners. We are grateful for the opportunity to team with them in the new year to further elevate our shared goals for equality, diversity and inclusion in STEM fields,” commented Adriana Gascoigne, Founder and CEO of Girls in Tech. “This is a landmark partnership for Girls in Tech that accelerates our ability to reach women with our highly-recognised programming.”

“McKinsey is committed to advancing gender parity in our firm; and beyond,” stated Sastry Durvasula, Partner and Global Chief Technology and Digital Officer at McKinsey; and a Girls in Tech board member. “To better ensure tech education and careers are open to everyone, we are dedicated to working with Girls in Tech to create more pathways for girls and women; to discover, enter and excel in STEM careers across industries.”
McKinsey will serve as a knowledge partner to Girls in Tech, teaming on several events including their annual conference; the Digital Career Fair; a virtual hackathon focused on creating real-world technical solutions for nonprofits; the recently re-launched Virtual Mentorship Programme; and the Startup Challenge – a startup pitch competition.
