“Inclusion, innovation, and impact—these aren’t just words at BCG; they are the foundation of everything we do.” Since joining BCG two years ago, Lucy May Moore, Senior Executive Recruiter in our London office, has been inspired by the #collaborative culture that drives meaningful change. Working alongside senior leadership, she plays a key role in shaping BCG’s future—bringing in top talent with #diverse backgrounds to ensure that inclusion remains at the heart of our growth. What makes BCG special? The ability to challenge and support each other in an environment where everyone has a seat at the table. For Lucy, being a woman at BCG means working in a space where she is #supported to bring her best self every day—where different perspectives come together to solve complex challenges and make a lasting impact.

In an unexpected journey into #consulting, Laura Juliano, Managing Director and Senior Partner, began her first steps of a now 20-year career at BCG through a recruiting event she attended in college. Passionate about understanding how things work, she found her calling in #operations, helping businesses become more efficient and resilient. Laura now leads BCG’s North America Operations practice, where she guides teams through economic uncertainty with confidence and collaboration. When life brought her to Houston, Laura embraced giving back, becoming deeply involved with the Houston Food Bank, drawn to its mission and fascinated by the challenge of feeding nearly a million people with a mostly #volunteer workforce. After Hurricane Harvey, she and her BCG colleagues helped rebuild and strengthen its operations—work so meaningful she later joined and chaired the board. Beyond her career, she champions inclusion, co-founding OPS NOW to support women in operations. At home, she fosters curiosity and problem-solving with her three daughters through DIY projects, softball games, and volunteer work. Her journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and lifting others up along the way. Read her full story here: https://on.bcg.com/4hugw6b

And in Talent Acquisition, I get to help bring in the next wave of incredible talent that fuels our impact.” For Alorra, success is not a solo journey—it’s built on the #support of mentors, sponsors, and friends who challenge her, cheer her on, and remind her that growth happens just beyond her comfort zone.
