In October 2024, a BCG team from the U.S., led by two Managing Directors and Partners, provided pro bono support to help establish an aid organization intended to operate alongside other relief efforts to deliver humanitarian support to Gaza. They failed to disclose the full nature of the work. These individuals then carried out subsequent unauthorized work. Their actions reflected a serious failure of judgment and adherence to our standards.
We are shocked and outraged by the actions of these two Managing Directors and Partners. They have been exited from the firm. BCG disavows the work they undertook. It has been stopped, and BCG has not and will not be paid for any of their work.
We are acting with urgency and seriousness to learn from this and to ensure it does not happen again. We deeply regret that in this situation we did not live up to our standards. We are committed to living our values—with accountability for our failures and humility in how we move forward.
