Lorena Is a Transformative Explorer
Recruiting Specialist, Bogotá
At BCG, Explorers are unafraid to embark on new journeys. They try new solutions to untangle complex problems and drive transformational change. Lorena seeks a new perspective.
The best part of working at BCG is the people; working in human resources at a company where people have such an important role is a unique opportunity.
In Lorena's Words
Taking into account that my passion is working for and with people, BCG is definitely the best company for me to be able to enjoy what I do every day: contribute to various people topics, such as recruiting, training, HR administration, career development, and internal communication.
One of the things that makes BCG unique is its people, and that’s why I am sure that my job and my daily efforts are reflected in the success of projects and in the happy faces walking the halls. During my experience at BCG, I have worked within different functions and with people from about ten different nations, which makes me grow every day as a person—learning about different cultures and behaviors.
