Dylan Bolden Managing Director & Senior Partner; Chair, Applied AI, Partnerships, and Functional Practices
Dylan Bolden is a Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he serves on the Executive Committee and as Chair of Applied AI, Partnerships, and Functional Practices. He leads BCG's AI transformation—spanning the reinvention of how BCG itself works with AI, the firm's go-to-market functional offers, and its alliance partner offers—working at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution to help organizations turn ambition into measurable results.
With more than two decades of experience, Dylan works with a broad range of clients on enterprise AI transformations and across corporate strategy and functional topics—from total shareholder return, mergers and acquisitions, and post-merger integration to branding, pricing, loyalty, and operational excellence. As a core member of BCG's Consumer and Marketing, Sales & Pricing practices, he helps leaders find clarity on where AI creates value and translate it into measurable results.
He brings particular depth to the restaurant and hospitality sector, where he has been a leader for decades—advising some of the industry's most recognized companies on CEO-level priorities spanning operational, commercial, and corporate topics.
Dylan is also a co-creator of BCG's Demand Centric Growth (DCG) approach and previously led DigitalBCG in North America as well as the firm's Dallas office. Prior to joining BCG, he was an engineer at Shell Oil.
